WELCOME HEART: Living a Legacy Life
Religion & Spirituality:Christianity
My friend and mentor, Annadale White, just turned 95. Don't you love that? In her own words, "For some reason, God wanted me to live a long life." She didn't want to be interviewed but I didn't want you to miss out on knowing some of her exuberance in Jesus and her godly wisdom.
Annadale, a PhD in Education, former college professor, Bible teacher, wife, mother, and grandmother is first and foremost, a woman of the Word. She trusts God instinctively, yet she took a while to succumb to the wooing of her Savior. Why? She knew God would want all of her and she didn't want to give in too readily. A smart woman, even from a very young age.
Everyone needs an Annadale in their lives. I called her the other day to see how she was faring in COVID-19. She asked, "How are you, Sue?" I replied, "I'm mad at Mark, if you want to to know!" She said, "Oh, I'll pray for Mark!" Ha. She was supposed to say, "Oh, I'll pray for you!" Whichever, the prayers worked, I'm happy to report. I called to encourage her. As usual, it went the other direction.
A legacy of joy for now and to come. Isn't she beautiful?
Some Annadale truisms:
"God doesn't want us to plan ahead, but He wants us to wait on Him every day."
"I want to have my first cup of coffee of the day with my Father."
"It's interesting how fast we can get our minds away from God so fast!"
"You're never going to get it if you don't read the whole Bible from beginning to end!"
