Today, we found out that one of Tracy and Andrea's friends from Olive Branch was killed in a car accident by a drunk driver. They seem to be taking it better than I expected. But all the sudden, I feel like life seems so short. Or maybe more that I am just taking it for granted. God could take away my life any given second, and instead I spend my time worrying about stupid stuff or doing stupid stuff. Why am I not more excited to wake up every morning? Why does it seem like such a chore to have to get up and actually do stuff everyday? God gave us the day. He gives us the opportunity to start over fresh every single morning and yet I don't really care or appreciate it. I bet the people who are sitting in the hospital right now dying from a fatal illness sure appreciate what God gives them every morning. It just sort of sucks to think that for most people, that's what it take to actually appreciate life. So many times do I hear people ask "what the point of life is". In truth, the point is to serve God fully. But what do we do instead? We get so wrapped up in ourselves that we don't even think about Him on a daily basis. Then we get mad when things don't go our way. But if we had the Lord and served Him fully and daily, I bet our attitudes would be completely different. We would have more joy in our hearts. We wouldn't wonder what the point of our life was. And maybe things would start going our way more.. Or rather God's way. Which is the best way in the first place. I am so selfish. Very very selfish. Today has been a very thoughtful day, I suppose. Plan of action? Change my attitude. Love the Lord more. Know Him more intimately. Serve Him with a more servant heart. Have more faith. Trust Him more. Learn to do what is more right in His eyes and not my own. Lastly, learn to be more obedient. I'm not very good at letting go of control.
