be ready.

My heart aches for the Hood family and for those who are as close as family to them. It's easy for me to dwell on the seemingly unfairness of it all.... why did it have to happen to them with all that they've gone through? But then, I have to remember to look at the whole situation though eyes of faith. We're all trying to make it to Heaven but we hurt so much when someone achieves our ultimate goal.

Death has been on my mind quite a bit these past few days..... an early morning last week, my dad was taken to the hospital in an ambulance, unconscious. For a day and a half [the longest day and a half Ever], a machine did all of his breathing for him. Thankfully, he is now able to breathe completely on his own but now there are talks of possible surgery.

"in the middle of the crazy 

God, Your love is so amazing"

So what's the takeaway in all of this? Be ready. It doesn't matter how old you are, how healthy you are, how invincible you might feel. Each day is a gift, even if it doesn't always like it. We cannot be certain of what tomorrow will bring.
