Don't Waste Your Life Away

Hey yall! So this week I really wanna talk about something serious. Recently, a guy I was in LEAD with at MSU passed away in a car wreck & it really made me think about how precious and unexpected life really is. He was only 23 and was one of the most kind, caring, and funny people I have ever known. There wasn't anything physically wrong with him. He was a young, healthy guy who enjoyed life. Then the next day he was gone. It's so strange to think that we could just die at any moment, whenever God decides it's time for us to leave this Earth. So it's important not to waste the time we have on this Earth. If you don't already have a relationship with God, then I strongly recommend doing that NOW cuz you never know what will happen. Luckily, Joey knew the Lord and was saved. I feel that is the most important decision you will ever make in your life! Hell is a terrifying place and the only way to save yourself is to follow God and have a relationship with him. Since Joey died, I realized how many young people that I knew have passed away just since I graduated high school, and it scares me to think that they were just like me, living a life with family and friends who loved them. They had a future ahead of them. Most of them didn't ask to die, and the ones that did felt as if they had no way out cuz no one cared to show them that even if they felt as if no one loved them that God was/is ALWAYS there for them. It breaks my heart to see people who think they are gonna live for a long time and don't have to make a decision about their destiny, but the truth is that they could die at any second. Morbid, I know! I truly believe that we should all take something away from this: 1. don't waste your life and live it to the fullest, and 2. make sure you have a relationship with God before it's too late. I had to get that off my chest. Sorry for being so morbid! I promise next week will be much happier. Hope yall have a great week!

Live for God & Love for Music!

The Kindness of a Stranger

Hey yall! I have begun to see that people aren't as mean as I thought. With the cold weather my car has been acting up, and when your car gets stuck in the snow, people are a lot more willing to help out cuz they understand your pain. Like after the first time we had a huge storm my car battery was messing up and I had to get people to jump it, but then my car got stuck in a parking spot. Some random guy ran up to my car, that he just happened to be passing by at the time, and tried to push the car. Even though he couldn't get it to move he tried so hard and even tried to use an ice scraper to get ice from under my tires. My friends later pushed the car out later, but it was so sweet that he didn't know me and was willing to help no questions asked. Another example was today my car got stuck in snow, AGAIN, when I was trying to put a poster in my friend Lauren's truck cuz she has a broken foot and can't really get her knee scooter through the snow. This random, and attractive, guy just happened to be jogging by and ran to my car and told me to drive forward while he pushed. Just like last time this guy had no idea who I was and was still willing to help me out. God definitely had a hand in those situations and placed someone there at just the right time. So grateful! It seems that people that we don't know are the ones that are more willing to help out a lot of time. It's the kindness of a stranger.
But I also had some amazingly nice things come from people I know too. I'm going to New York this summer for summer project, and my grandma is totally against me going. So I called her up the day before her birthday just to chat and she says that she got my support letter and sent me $50 of the $3,250 that I need. So awesome! Then she proceeded to say that my dad was sending me money too and was asking people for addresses so I could send out more letters to people to raise the money. Woah! Such a God thing! My dad even gave me a check from the woman that does his taxes and she just gave him a $50 check to give to me towards NYC. Another act of kindness from a stranger! I don't deserve any of this, and I that it's God who is providing all of this. I will forever be amazed at how amazing the people in my life are!
