How does one deal with one's mortality? Usually people my age really don't have to face it much. We're young and healthy. Enjoying life. This past month has been a reality check for me. I'm not afraid of death for I know I will be in Heaven with my Lord and Savior. What I'm mourning is the fact that life is going to take a different spin for me. That I won't always be healthy. Coping with the disappointment that life is not going to turn out the way I had hoped. I'm selfish because I want life to be easy. And it never is.... Today really hit me like a ton of bricks....
Life seems like such a long road until you come to face with the reality that you won't live forever. Then you begin to think about what's really important....
Another Starfield song I like...
I built a fortress with a hundred thousand faces
I'll keep it safe with a hundred thousand more
But these masks are wearing thin as You draw me in
I spent my time on the empty and the fleeting
I spent my life on much less than I'd dreamed
But I'm reaching out to you to make me new
'Cause I am just a beggar here at Your door
I am just a shipwreck here on Your shore
I come empty handed ready to see
Your life in me changing who I've been
To who I need to be
You tell me my story as You sift between the pages
I feel redemptionIn the space between each turn
Could You take me in Your arms and tell it just once more
Could You take me in Your arms and tell it just once more
I love that last part of the chorus...
Your life in me changing who I've been, to who I need to be
My struggles today does not change the fact that God is God. He loves me. He is still a good God. He is my strength, my comfort. I will still live for Him.
