Whose life is this anyway??

Sometimes, I honestly do not know if I am coming or going. Life moves so fast, feels as though it is coming at me, like I am watching it. It approaches me, surrounds me, flies by me. I try to capture it, ride the wave, but it is somehow beyond my grasp. I look at days past and they are not so much memories, but moving and still pictures, of someone elses life. There is so much I want...want to do, be, taste, see, feel, smell and embrace. But this life is short and I am not a citizen of this small blue world, or even this Galaxy. My citizenship lies with God, in the eternal places. But I am here now, and while I am here, I will protect and love, and try to leave this place, this country I have somehow by His grace, been allowed to occupy, better than when I first entered it.

We have no idea, how much longer we have here. But hasn't that always been the case? Why are we just now waking up, to the notion that life here is not forever? Why are we just now fearing the inevitable? We should be at the ready at all times, not just in the end times. Because each and everyone of us, from the first sinners to this generation, and the next, have such a short time here, on this Earth.

That being the case, I will not give up, and fight, the good fight, I am healthier now in body, and clearer now in mind. So, until I see Him, with His arms outstretched to greet me, I will do all I can to better this place, for my son, and future generations. I will not stand idly by and let the deceiver speak, pretending it does not matter, leaving it up to the next generation, or assuming we will be the last. I will not give up, there are too many souls to win, too much life to live.

Mark 13:31-33

³¹Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.

³²But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.

³³Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.

³⁴For the Son of Man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch.

³⁵Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning:

³⁶Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.

³⁷And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.
