To Live Well

Since I received the news that my margins and nodes were clear, I have felt a little pressure. It is one thing to face the prospect of dying, and determine to do it well. I never wanted death to be the outcome, but if that was the inevitable, I wanted to handle it like Kerri Lane, a beautiful and godly woman in our church who recently died of melanoma. I wanted to die with grace and strength and dignity. To testify of God and glorify Him in the process.

It is one thing to die well, but it is another thing to live well. I could get so easily distracted. I could forget the lessons I have learned. I don't want to, though. I have been given the gift of being reminded that life holds no guarentees. It is essential to focus on the important and to purposely live on purpose and with purpose. And to figure out what that really means.

To die well is one thing, to live well is another.
