A lot has happened within this month in a half I’ve been gone. One of the things that happened was one of my close friends from school passed away in a car accident after just getting back from basic training. I remember him coming to my house and telling me we were gonna hang after I got home from the race. I’m not going to lie, my heart is aching. I’ve cried a lot and I wish I could be home in my bed. After crying for a while, I decided the only thing I needed right now was to talk to the Lord.
The Lord reminded me that we are not promised tomorrow. I got a wake up call from the Lord. I need to live everyday as though it’s my last. Not in the “I’m gonna party like it’s my last day”kind of way, but the “I’m going to try and live like Christ today” kind of way.
I’m sad right now, and that’s ok. We’re so blessed guys. Please please don’t take who you have for granted. Love everyone, there is no room for hate. Forgive, because Christ forgave you. Ask the Lord every morning what you can do that day to glorify him, because you never truly know when it’s your last.
My dad told me the other day, “if you have one foot in the past & one in the future, you’re peeing on today!” This is so very true! Focus on today. The past is forgiven, the future is in God’s hands and today is a new and beautiful day because the blood of Christ makes us new everyday.
I love you Tristan! I am praying for all the friends and family back home who’s hearts are aching. We don’t understand things that happen sometimes, but that’s where faith comes in.
God is good all the time, all the time God is good! Please don’t forget that even in the hard times.
