In Christ, there are no goodbyes; RIP, Matt.

This post is going to be pretty intense, just a little warning.

You know, life is so precious. We live; We breathe; We attempt to leave a mark on this world. But, if you think about it, no one really knows when it's their time to go. This weekend, I lost a friend of mine in a car accident. The crazy part about it: I just spent last weekend with him. It's crazy how life happens that way.

This experience takes me back to March 5, 2005. A day I will probably never forget. Being at the mall, and finding out a close friend had passed. You don't realize what you've got 'til it's gone.

We don't expect things to happen to us when we're young. We're invincible. Think we have it all. Matt Johnson, you were one of the sweetest guys I have ever met. A barrel of laughs. So fun to be around. I know you are missed and loved by many. Watch out for us down here. PS: I still owe you $10. :)

This whole thing leads me to a couple great points.

One: Don't take things for granted. We're not promised time on this earth.

Two: Everything happens for a reason. Even though things happen in our lives that seem to be bad, God is looking out for us.


Just a few things to catch you up on my life:
I have lost 12 pounds on my dieting adventures. (yay.) I miss starkville and all of the people there. And because of this weekend, I plan to live my life a bit differently.

The song of the day, (Actually, there's two!) Halfway to Heaven; Brantley Gilbert, and Homesick; MercyMe.


you know you love me,
