reality check

life is but a vapor..
its here and then its gone
just like that.
reality of heaven and what it is
even though i fully believe in its existence
is hard for me - to understand or fully grasp.

a family that i am good friends with
recently lost their mother
she had been battling cancer for a long time
and was a amazing, Godly women.
she's now at peace, and in the arms of Jesus.
but I still think that it has to be hard.

losing anyone is hard, but someone close to you
like a mom, dad, or sibling is even harder...

its given me a reality check of why I'm here, on earth.
what I want to still do -- and how I can live my life
to better other peoples lives..
and what God has in store for me.
remaining content, and thankful for everything I have
.. my family, friends, job, education, and so many other things

though one day I look forward to being heaven
i also look forward to everything God has in store for me
here on earth now.

my heart longs for love
one day, one day.
