Only A Vapor

We are a moment, You are forever

Lord of the ages, God before time

We are a vapor, You are eternal

Love everlasting, reighning on high

Holy Holy Lord God Almighty

Worthy is the Lamb who was slain

Highest praises, honor and glory

Be unto Your name, be unto Your name

We are the broken, You are the healer

Jesus Redeemer, mighty to save

You are the love song, we'll sing forever

Bowing before You, blessing Your name.

-"Be Unto Your Name"

One of my favorite things to do is sit, think, write, drink coffee and listen to music. Yesterday and this morning it rained, another thing I love. But I miss the thunder and lighting that accompany the storms at home. Storms seem to not only be outside though, this week God has been reminding me that I am a vapor and death is part of life. Sunday I heard a message on James 4:13, talking about us being only vapors. When you really think about it, we are so small and insignificant in this huge world. But we all want to have significance, this gives us passion and a reason to live. Also, on Sunday, my mom told me my Gramma probably wont live very long. She asked when I'll be back and it looks like it wont be much longer. So, that's hard, but a reminder about life. As if that wasn't enough, Monday my Roomie left to be with a family from her church, in the hospital. A little boy had a freak accident and was not doing well. The family never expected to lose such a young member of their family, so soon after he was born. It's a reminder that no one knows how long they are given. The boy died Thursday and my Roomie left again. With all this happening, it's as if God is reminding me that life is precious and I should spend the short time I'm given, to glorify Him. And He reminded me again on Wednesday, by almost having an accident, which really shook me up. So, I'm not sure what He's trying to tell me, except, life is precious, make it count! And when I can't carry on, God is there with me, encouraging me and sustaining me. I don't think I'll ever completely comprehend God, He is so amazing! All I am is a vapor, here for a little while, only to leave again, whenever my Father calls me home.
