Living a Short Life

Honestly, I dont kno if more than a handful of people read my blog anymore. I hope that it still reaches out to that one lost/hurting soul that just needs a push in the right direction. My life is a testimony of the grace of God as yours is. I hope that each time I write my testimony touches your heart and leaves you feeling a sense of belonging.

We are all strangers in this land. Strangers to this life. Some of us are more odd than others. While some of us have purposes that reach beyond our own imagination. Some fight to live and some beg to die. Some of us strive to be the same, while the rest of us strive to be different. We live this life in motion. Always moving forward towards the next day the next moment and the next milestone in our life.

We face struggles of epic proportion sometimes. We fight monsters bigger than us and win battles we never thought we could. It is there by the grace of God that we are granted his strength to push thru.

Sometimes we feel like we are standing without motion, as life briskly passes us by. We don't think we'll make it one more day, yet somehow the morning still comes. Sometimes we feel like we want to hold on to a moment forever, but the moment quickly becomes just a memory. It is our memories that keep us in the lonely times. It is our sweet memories that hold our hearts when we want to cry. It is our memories that cause to strive harder, push farther, and sometimes its our memories that hurt us the most.

We are all strangers on this land as I said before. Just wandering souls waiting for the end of life so our souls can go to a place far beyond this one. Our lives are like vapors, so short in the grand aspect of things. We can't live from generation to generations hundreds of years, we only exist for such a short time. This life we are given, while so short as its often said, is truly a gift. Even when we fight to live most of our lives, its a gift because we are stronger with each new fight and each new mountain to climb.

We must cherish and adore each moment we live, forgetting the bad, holding on to the sweet. For we know not which moment life shall whisk us away or at which moment those we love most dearly shall stand beyond our reach. Even then our souls feel tortured by the absense that was once filled, but the hope is one day we again will be with the one that we love.

This life is so short, so delicate and so difficult, but we must enjoy each beautiful moment we have. For we are not promised one more moment. I want to look at my life at the end and say, "wow, I had a beautiful life". We must forgive those that hurt us, look past the difficult and see the beautiful. Dwell not on the past but look with hope to the moment we are in. Every moment is so beautiful and we can not in this life let even one moment pass us by. For if a moment slips thru our hands, we'll never get it back again.

Enjoy life...forgive, forget and move on. Love like you never hurt, dance like no one can see, live with all ur might, and dont forget to sing. Thanks for reading :)
