Life.

I know I'm sorta late with this but I'll write this anyways...
So these past couple of weeks God has really showed me how , thankful and grateful i'm supposed to be with my life. Let me give you some examples.

Recently my parents told my brothers and I that one person that we knew which was young and just settling down with his family died from a heartache...around a week ago... I was walking on the street from home and a bus was coming REALLY fast. & I didn't even see it coming...  but thank God someone yelled at me and told me and the I stopped and the bus stop too... 10 feet away............ last week at echo while we were playing sports volleyball, and basketball, i chose to play basketball with a couple of guys and i was going up for a layup and the floor was slippery cause of the rain... and I fell right on my back and i couldn't breathe right for like the next 2 minutes and i really thought i was going to step into eternity, even though my back , shoulders legs, and arms are still hurting... I THANK GOD THAT I have one more breath and heartbeat.

James 4:14-Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.

But the thing I'm amazed about... is how I love my life so dearly, but i'm a sinner destined to go to hell and the wages of sin is death... yet, GOD loved me so much, to send his only begotten son to take my place and suffer and die GIVE UP his life... people didn't take his life... but he layed it down for us... i find that amazing...that he would love me that much.. come on now.. how many of you will give up your OWN LIFE FOR SOMEONE , to get beaten so harshly that your face would disfigure so no one could figure out who you are... to get humiliated in front of everyone you know... to get despised and rejected by men ? 

i know you won't... but GOD will.. he did for you and me.
