Dying.

That word seems to bring fear to most people. A fear that even I'm afraid of. A fear that I felt I almost encountered today. None of us ever know how long we will be on this earth. It's just a temporary home, as Carrie Underwood likes to say it [I hate country...but it was necessary]. We all act as if we're going to be here until we're 80-90-100 such years old [some say young...depending on how you look at it]. We all make plans as if tomorrow is going to come and be a marvelous day in the neighborhood. Making plans for vacations that won't happen until another month or two, or even a year or two. Planning what college you are going to attend, or what job you wanna get, or what you wanna be when you grow up. Deciding which path to take, the good path or the path of destruction. We always look at life as if it's not that big of a deal. We all wonder what God has in store for us next, but fail to look at if His plan is for us to be sent to judgement day possibly tomorrow. We all see the tragedies on the news of what happened to the teenagers that were found killed, or someone was shot at, or down to the simplest thing, a kid got bit by a dog and now the family wants to sue. But do we ever think, what if that were me? Do we ever think to try and comprehend the pain that family is going through? Imagine losing someone who you love that you never thought you'd have to see the day where you had to say goodbye. Think of the pain you would have to deal with. Tragedies happen everyday on the news, but it is viewed just as a show on tv. We watch it to get the gossip of the world. Tragedies happen, yes. But what if it were you next...

What made me start to think all of this, is the fact, I was almost in a car accident today...it had the potential to be a BAD one. so bad, I wouldn't be here right now typing this. Praise the LORD for watching over me. I had KLOVE music on the radio, and my guardian angel in my car. Honestly, if I didn't have Jesus with me, I wouldn't be here right now. The car would've hit head on into the driver's side...I was driving. Honestly, it scared the crap out of me. I'm not ready to die...yet. I have so much living and spreading the Word left to do. but the whole incident, made me realize how LUCKY I am to be alive. and how Blessed I am. and how ashamed I am for the sin in my life. It was definitely a much needed eye opener to say that no sin is worth eternal damnation. Living for God is the only option we have to have our spirits live forever. and if we see someone else struggling with sin, go after them and help them find God before it's too late. Think about who you want to see again in Heaven. don't let someone close to you lose in the end from sin. I realized that if I were to get sent to judgement day, and stand before the LORD Himself, what would He do with me? I'm not worthy of His love. I am ashamed at what He would say to me. But He, still, somehow loves me and cares so much for me. I can't thank Him enough that I'm alive.

Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. -Isaiah 40:18-31.
