One thing that I see that we take for granted too often, is a wonderful gift that we have, which is the gift of life. I personally believe that we are here for a purpose. God has out every moment and breath planned out. He knows when we will struggle, hurt, mourn, cry, laugh, celebrate and even when we will die.

The thing is, He knows when all that will happen, but at the same time we ourselves do not. We can plan...plan...plan, but that only gets us so far. Something always has a way of changing our plans.

We are not guaranteed tomorrow...or even five minutes from now. With the death in my family this week, it really has upset me. It has me thinking about us, as human beings. We take so much stuff for granted. Beautiful sunsets, laughter...and even something as life. I find that we place our wishes on our top priority list, but is that how Jesus would want us to live? I beg to differ.

I think if Jesus came down and gave a seminar to His church, He would encourage us to life for others. Not for us. "Do unto others as that should do unto you." I would personally hate to have my life go to waste. Just think about all of the people that you (or we) can be reaching that we are not?

If you have read this blog, I have prayed for you. It is my encouragement to you that you go out and change the world...one day at a time. Go share the love of Jesus with that one person in your class that seems like they are along and hurting. Go and heal thing with someone you are fighting with. Go to the beach and spend time with the one and only God of this universe. He wants to be your everything. He wants you to live your life just for Him...share the Gospel to the unreached people.

I love you all.
Thanks for reading.
