[Current Music |i want to know you- Jesus Culture]

in 9 hours i have to go to the funeral of yet another friend.
and oddly enough... i'm not that upset.

i'm thankful for the time i spent with Matt.
i'm thankful that he got to receive Jesus.
i'm thankful and hopeful that i will see him again soon.

death isn't something new to me.
in a way it's defined my life.
but- in a way i'm thankful for that as well.
death has allowed me to love harder and make my words count.
i've been able to realize the value of a life and the value of my own life.

for the longest time i use to hate my life and not care about living.
i would just... go day by day just, existing.
and that's no way to live.

instead- live out your dash in new ways each day.
finish the race in flying colors.
God has called each one of us to great things- and i don't want mine to pass me by.
our life is a vapor.
a poof in the span of eternity.

it's insane.
and i'm thankful for this life.
and i'm thankful for the life Matt got to live.

i shall see you soon friend.
but not too soon. ; )

In Him,
Amy Elizabeth
