So this is like the 5th time that I've started this blog and I can't figure out what it is that I want to say. There is something inside that I want to say but I can't get it out on this computer. It has been a crazy 2 weeks, with 2 of my friends dieing. It has just felt like everything has come down on me. I feel like I'm stuck at the bottom of a waterfall and there is nothing to help me get out from underneath it. But this isn't about that. It's not about how unhappy I've been or the hurt and sadness that I've felt. It's more about the hope that it's given me. The faith that it's caused me to gain because of it all.

When this all happened my first thought was why in the world would this happen to these two people? But then I realized how selfish this thought was. I was truly only thinking about the fact that I wouldn't be able to see these 2 people again in this life. It took me a few days but then I started thinking about what they are now doing...serving the Lord and helping us from the other side. This thought has truly brought me hope. It's helped me to realize that life isn't about what's coming next or what happened last week. It is about what is going on right now, TODAY! We have to live for today. There is no other way that we can go about our lives. Today is what matters most and what counts the most. If we aren't concentrated on today and what we can do today, what happens tomorrow won't be as significant as we really think it might be.

Just think about it. It's truly a lesson that has to be learned by all. Live for the moment that we have right now, today! Definitely easier said than done, but truly something to strive for each and everyday!

We are blessed with today for a reason, it is today and we can actually do something about it!
