Lately the Lord has been radically making me look at my life, my health, and why I make the choices I do. 
Choices in everything and anything.
Relationships. Conversations. Food. Exercise. Reading. Appearance. Style.

But yet again, today I was reminded of how precious life is, and how every minute of every hour of every day needs to honor Jesus Christ. Our days were numbered before we were born, and every circumstance, joy, and trial we face is part of our plan and a part of His perfect will. 

Being twenty-five years old, most people around me should be getting married and celebrating new life. Yet since being twenty-five, more people than I've ever known diagnosed with cancer.
People my age.  
People who love the Lord.
People who should not be fighting this fight. 

Breast cancer.
Testicular cancer. 
Lymphoma Cancer.
Brain Cancer. 
Cancer. Cancer. Cancer. 

We need to take our life choices into our own hands. Not our lives, for they need to be handed to Him, and trust in his goodness. But what we do with the vessel we are for him, that is on our shoulders. So while you can, LIVE. 

Live for HIM. 
Love for HIM. 

Hug others even if they seem unclean. Go for a walk even when you hurt. Take a vacation even when funds are tight. Go to work even when you hate your boss. Enjoy the rain even when it messes up your hair, and sit in the sun even if it makes you sweat. Pray for a stranger even if it makes your heart race.

Hope..... 
Hold on to it. Provide it. Make it. Have it. 
It is all we have.
