{Hope}

Seek & You Will Find.
Cliche? Maybe.
True? Yes.
Recently I've been agonizing myself with my own thoughts. Wondering about tomorrow. Wondering about tonight. I know that my time will come. And it will be beautiful. (Ecclesiastes 3:11) I just can't help but wonder "when". "When will my time be here?" It's a common question that I think everyone in life asks themselves at one point or another.
But finding the answer to that question, or finding the patience to wait until it is answered is hard. Finding the answer will be revealed alone when time itself unfolds. Finding the patience lies within you. I myself am not a very patient person; but I found something that helped me a lot. 1 Peter 5:6-7
In those verses there is hope. Not said outright, but inside. Those words are alive and living. They may not be the word "hope", but through them hope is generated.

Jokes & Juggling

So I've been thinking a lot about life and death. Yeah deep right? Haha. It's so overlooked though. Here's what I've come up with.

1 - There are 3 types of people. I've classified them in this order

Person 1 - These people live like they are invincible. That it's ok to waste the days they've been given, but live like they've been given all the time in the world. This is because they can't handle the thought of death, or the end of life as we know it. They are honestly scared half to death by just the mention of the word. They act as if they'll live forever on this earth and that they can't die. They choose to ignore that reality.

Person 2 - These people know they will die one day. They don't care about much really because they think "Hey, who gives? We're all going to die one day, why even waste the time to help. Why bother?" These people just do whatever whenever knowing that one day in the end they are going to die and don't realize that what they do does effect society and the world we know. They choose to ignore the reality that life is worth living to it's fullest.

Person 3 - These people accept the fact that they will die someday. But they also realize that life is too good to waste. They truely and honestly try to live a healthy lifestyle and try to find a balance between both realities. They want to help and make a difference before time runs out. They realize the gift in life, and reality of death.

So basically that's what I've been thinking about lately.
