Life is short.
The average life expectancy is 77 years. But for many people, it's even shorter than that.
Going back to my post about fear, something I think about often is how fleeting life can be. One minute we could be driving down the road, laughing and jamming out to music -- the next moment, we could be gone.
Many of you know of my faith in Jesus Christ and how I pray that everyone I know will have a personal relationship with Him. There is nothing more important in the world to me than this, so if you have any questions, please feel free to email me.
Something else that's very important to me is that I'll make the most of the moments I have left on earth, because I don't know many moments I have.
I want to always remember that life is fleeting, not so that it causes fear and worry in my life, but so that I am motivated to make the most of every opportunity.
If I knew that today was the last day I had to spend with my husband, with my family, with my friends...how would I live?
That's how I want to live every day.

This is so true and it also makes me want to live life to the fullest living out my purpose God has called me to do. Sometimes we can let fear of the unknown keep is from doing this. Very timely post, I have been actually thinking a lot lately about just going for what God has for me and stop letting doubt or worry creep into my mind. Awesome post. We should all live everyday to the fullest doing the things we love with the people we love.
I try to think like that...but mostly I think of "does what I am doing matter?" I try to make what I do, matter. :) Sometimes I don't succeed, but it's nice when I do. It's also helpful when you're having an argument with your spouse.
Lately I've been thinking about this too. I want to live my life everyday. Not just being busy to be busy. I really want to life every moment and enjoy it and life life to the fullest. It's actually a bit harder to really think that way because as Americans were used to just making ourselves busy. Great post!!

I absolutely love reading your blog, it is always so inspiring and uplifting...thank you!!
Sometimes it does make me sad that life is fleeting and that we aren't promised tomorrow. I look at my husband and think some day he or I or both of us won't be here. It's a fact of life but we have to enjoy each day as it comes.
You are absolutely right! Knowing that life is fleeting makes me always want to kiss goodnight and to not sweat the small things! To always say I love you even after an argument! To make time for one another during our busiest moments! We really don't know how much time we have with those we love and saying "Im too busy" can't be our excuse anymore! Make the time.
Great post, girl!

Great post! I just love reading your blog. You speak the honest truth, I just love it!
This is a fear I think everyone has, believer or not, the thing that does reassure me is that I'm a child of Christ. However, the secular side of me wants to accomplish so many more things and hopes that my time spans many many many more years.
It is most definitely important to remember to make the most of everyday though because no one is promised tomorrow.
Thank you for this. In the past year four people in my life, or in my boyfriend's life, have passed away... I am constantly reminded that our life is but a vapor. The Lord is good, though, and uses those fears and situations to drive us closer to Him.
