I woke up one morning a couple of years ago and took this photo. I'm not much of a morning person so it was a small miracle that I was able to be awake at all. Every time I look at this photo I see more detail in God's beautiful creation. What was he trying to tell me that morning? It was definitely a message of hope. That wasn't the easiest year for me. But God stood by me for every moment, and when I wasn't awake for something important, he woke me up. Praise Him!
Life is so precious and so fragile. It is so easy to feel invincible, especially when we are young. I used to think that I could stay up all night, all the time and feel fine the next day. I've since learned that this is not true at all. Instead I feel like I want to die rather than be awake and be at work or school. It's not a good feeling.
Just a few days ago, I found out how much life is fragile. It was quite the wake up call from God. A friend of mine was hit by a train and is now living off of life support at a hospital. The shock that hit me was profound. Death seemed so far away until that moment when I read the email from my school informing me and every other student of what had happened. Immediately I was thrown into prayer. I felt helpless, useless, except for my prayer. I knew that I could help my friend by praying for her. Please pray for her to regain conciousness soon. Just as God woke me up, let him wake her up to life in Him! I pray that I get to see her again soon.
Be reminded that our lives on this earth are not forever. This world is not our permanent home. Everything on this earth is preparation for the next. Everything. We have to become good stewards of the earth and of everyone around us. And finally, may we come to live eternally in perfect bliss with our Lord. Every moment will be a praise to Him. Let us start praising him and thanking him now for the precious gift of life that we all have. And let us respect the lives of eachother; born and unborn, young and old.
