live life

we often times take living for granted...

waking up can be a challenge for most of us, bodies choosing sleep over living and taking on the fresh challenges of the day.  we breeze through the day not really accomplishing personal and spiritual growth, we get wound up in the day-to-day web of tasks and to do lists.  not really seeing where each activity will lead our life. 

we just fail to live, period.  we don't breathe and stop by to smile at the little miracles that happen in our life.

my simple prayer is that we choose to live life and not just breeze through it.  there is so much to live for - being grateful to God for this life is one great reason to breathe and enjoy the miracles of each day. 

just writing ... because a friend of my sister died at the age of 20 ... a girl left this earth, fighting, wishing she can live more ... and with her life and strength and courage ... she has reminded me ... i need to get out of the hustle and bustle of each day ... to stop and breathe ... and recognize the beautiful life God has given me.

thanks jen!  may your joy and peace be complete =) now that you are in heaven.
