This is old news, but there was an airplane crashed outside of Buffalo, New York in February killing 50 people. The story re-surfaced again on CNN today as they have the transcript of the cockpit recording. As I read the news, I couldn’t help but having a little nervous feeling because I am flying out to Chicago on the weekend. I know my peace IS in my God, Christ Jesus, and I go whenever God calls me home. But still. I guess I prefer a more peaceful way to go, rather free-falling to my death (I don’t do free-fall! Not even try the Tower Of Doom in theme park either!… ) and burst into flame … hahaha.
Well, that reminds me: I have to live a life in such a way that is fully, meaningful, without regrets, and ready whenever God calls me home. We tend to think we are in control; we still have time. But the clocks of our lives lie in God’s hand, and He fully knows when they stop ticking. So live, like no tomorrow! I gotta love my wife, and my children more, and I need to let them know that I love them. I gotta enjoy the day, rain or shine, happy or sad, and make the best of my little time here on this earth before departing to the other side. It’s your choice where you want to spend your eternity, but I know where I am going. That is heaven, with my God, forever and ever, and ever!
Life is too short for us to stay mad at someone, or be angry and bitter. So don’t say or do something so bad that we would regret later on and wish we had the time to correct it. Don’t stay in the negative, depressing lifestyle (well, unless it’s an unvoidable medical condition then that’s a different story.) Don’t sleep our lives away, but count our days!
My current favorite song is The Motions by Matthew West. The lyric is so true. You gotta check it out!
The Motions – Matthew West
This might hurt
It’s not safe
But I know that I’ve gotta make a change
I don’t care
If I break
At least I’ll be feeling something
‘Cause just ok
Is not enough
Help me fight through the nothingness of lifeI don’t wanna go through the motions
I don’t wanna go one more day
Without Your all consuming passion inside of me
I don’t wanna spend my whole life asking
What if I had given everything?
Instead of going through the motionsNo regrets
Not this time
I’m gonna let my heart defeat my mind
Let Your love
Make me whole
I think I’m finally feeling somethingTake me all the way
Take me all the way
Take me all the way
