Nowadays we have passwords and codes for everything. We have a passcode for our phone, passwords to get in our computers, passwords for our Netflix account :); everything has a password. The other day I used my mom’s password to get into her account and I instantly thought of the word, access. Our passwords, passcodes, etc give us access to our devices and accounts. Because I had the correct password for my mom’s account I was granted access. As Christians, we often forget about the access we have.

I had my life planned out; after graduating from high school, I would go off to college to receive my degree in nursing, then move to Charlotte and work at one of the hospitals. I would be married by 24, first child by 26, and second (last child, smile) by 28. My husband and I would travel and see the world. I would eventually own my own business, and just live the “good life”, whatever that is, lol. It was my…
