I can't get myself to sleep after I received the news that someone I barely knew passed away.
3 days...thats all it took for her to be in a meeting, one time, and passing on, the next.
It made me think deeply, seriously about my own mortality and how I have lived my life, supposedly, for the glorification of the Lord.
I have had a lot of struggles during the past years that, most of the time, I let my human nature take over my life knowing pretty well that it's not supposed to be the case. I have learned from my study of the bible during the past nine years that I should deny myself, take up my cross and follow him.
It is easier to do otherwise.
Until the news of this death came like the sound of a chime that signals the coming of the wind from somewhere...anywhere...nowhere that we know of.
Like a thief in the night, death comes.
I should be prepared for that eventuality.
Lord, teach me how to follow your ways and to give up and deny my nature as a human being. I love you Lord...I want to spend eternity with you and my loved ones.
To Him be the glory!
