So its been awhile since I've posted anything, I have mixed feelings about these blogs, but I feel like writing something now. There is so much on my heart and mind lately, it seems like too much to process and work through. I can't stop thinking about the accident that I got in a week ago, not because anything awful happened or because I'm so mad about it, but because it was such a wake-up call for me. Things don't REALLY become real to us until they actually happen to US. Accidents happen all the time, every single day, its not unusual that another one happened but it sure shook me up when I was a part of one. And I just can't stop thinking about how that was just a normal day, just driving home from my sister's and yet I could have never made it home that day. What if I had died that day - would the last words I had said to people be good one's, be words I would want them to have heard for the last time from me and remember for the rest of their lives? How was I using my time - were my priorities in the right order? Was I living for God and obeying him? What would people be able to honestly say about me at my funeral? And those are questions I've been thinking about and wrestling with this week, because we all know that life is short and it could end any second when were least expecting it. God hasn't promised us 50 years down the road, he hasn't even promised us tomorrow, He's only given us now...this moment. So I just challenge YOU(whoever you are) to take some time and think about these things and about where your life is at right now. And if you don't feel good about your answers, if you know that you wouldn't want to die today because of things you've said or haven't said or because you haven't really been living for God or just whatever...then I want you to think about how life is short and we have to live every second like it could be our last. That's all...have a beautiful day. <3
