"I am the resurrection"

Happy Easter.
Today in church my dad asked us to think a lot about death.
I try as much as possible to avoid such thoughts. I've never had anyone close to my pass away. I have no idea what it feels like to lose a loved one. I'm pretty blessed to have all my family and friends alive and well.

John 11:25-26 -- Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?

But he said something that made me think, "we taste death everyday." It's true, each day... we're slowly dying. Death is inevitable... it'll come some day, sooner or later. These days I've been living in the moment -- not thinking about the future, or anything long-term. Finding that balance is difficult though, because at the time when all is well, and you're satisfied, the future isn't what is usually on our minds, not mine at least.

I should think about the future though, with a balance of "living in the now" (Wayne's World) haha. It'll come ... that balance, I'm sure it will. Right now, I'm trying not to be frustrated or fearful with school/housing/money/boys - it'll all work out, just learn to trust.
