Like We're Dying

So I am sure most of you have heard the song "Live Like We're Dying" sung by Kris Allen. Now I have heard this song many times, and I got to thinking.
It's not easy to live like your dying if you have never been there. I don't know about you, but I don't think about this being my last moment in life, but if it were, I hate to say it, but I would be regretful, and if you know me, I try not to regret anything in life.
This then brings up another idea. What does it mean to live like you're dying? There are stories, people who have the "bucket list." Sky dive, run a marathon, things that you never did. But maybe it should be a little simpler. Talk to people, make an effort to be a friend, tell people how much you appreciate them, and love them.

I know this is kind of a weird topic, but there is a reason I am writing this. I am going to try and live more like I'm dying, because the truth is I don't know when God has planned to call me to Him. I don't want to find out that I missed out on something that He put in front of me, and I don't want anyone left here to wonder what they meant to me. I know if you really follow this it is selfish. But were this my last post, I hope people would not say what a hypocrite I was/am, but how loving I was, how thankful I was for my friends and family.

Now I am not saying I am going to go out and do all the things I want to do, because not only would it be a long, expensive, and sometimes dangerous list. bungee jumping, skydiving, get a tattoo, etc. Instead of that I am going to try and live without fear to tell the guy I like, that I like him. I'm going to try and live without fear of rejection, and for me this is a huge mountain to climb, not just from the guy, but from letting people see me. The real me, the one God has made, and not hide that. I don't want to be the light under the bowl.

So here is what I ask of you. If you see me doing something that you think I will be backstepping let me know. Don't be afraid to be honest, but don't be afraid of an honest reply. I'm asking this because I cannot do this alone, and one person won't be able to be around me always, and it would be a little creepy if they were.

I also challenge you to live like this as well.

well I should be off to bed soon.
Goodnight friends.
