What if your life got flipped upside down?

So I'm new to this whole blogging concept. I'm not the most interesting writer, but I have got to do SOMETHING to get all these thoughts in my head organized. Even though there may be zero-two people reading this post, maybe someone out there will find it useful.
It's amazing how quickly life can (in my mother's terms) "smack you up side your head." I know a lot of people agree that nothing last forever, but that concept has never touched my heart as much it has in the past two weeks. Within four days I lost my brother-in-law, and became an aunt. Bittersweet right? Well...I am an aunt to my brother-in-law's daughter...Think of the woman who pushed her out...my sister. Crazy isn't it? The experience could not have brought us closer to God, I see life differently now. Instead of taking my relationships for granite, I truly cherish them, and I hope everyone gets to know Jesus. I'm not trying to sound preachy, but if it wasn't for God's love...the loss of my brother-in-law could have possibly made my family give up.  My sister is getting stronger and stronger each day, but I will not have complete comfort until she is completely happy again. Just last night my sister and I found a letter that my brother-in-law wrote to his unborn child...it was only a couple seconds for my face to be soaked in tears, with my facial nerves clinching as if I just got hit by a MAC truck...That reminds me. Life could always be worse; I could get hit by a MAC truck...it's important for us to be thankful for what we do have. My last/first post describes my view on the world perfectly. I wrote it about a year ago during a time when I really needed God's love. Looking back I am glad that I wrote it because my family and I needed God's love more then ever in the past two weeks. I also wrote a quote a few years ago, that beings me peace each time I'm in need...

"& Someday all the pieces will fit. We will learn that without the tears, we wouldn't have the greatest things we do now. Without the tears, we wouldn't know what we now understand. Rejoice in your trials. I love the life the Lord has given me and HIS way of doing it."

Endless Love

We search for something that no one can define. 

We cry from disappointment, when we thought our search was over.

We dream that we’re surrounded in this universal desire.

We must be on guard, for this desire can be counterfeited. 

We open our identities, not expecting that they will later be stolen away.

Even when we get it wrong, we still tell our minds that it was right.

Just so we think we found the universal desire.

But stop looking. You won’t find the real thing on your own. 

You will only find hurt, or maybe a tarnished version with little dissapointments. 

We are loved. More then you can imagine. Don’t ask me why. I deserve it the least. 

For I have found the real Love. The unfailing universal desire. Yet I still take it for granted and throw it to the side. 

To love someone, is to put them before yourself. 

To love someone, is to please them, no matter what your desire is. 

To love someone, is to die. So that they may live. 

May live. Meaning, you would die, so they could have the choice to live.

Meaning, you could die, and they still throw your love away, and die also.

This love, is the ultimate love. And it has been given, to all of us who want to take it.

It is free to accept, but hard to hold onto. 

Because for some reason, we’re wrapped up in the idea, that love is physical. 

But one day, the physical life will be over. All physical love, is temporary.

It’s up to you. 

Two options.

Keep searching, and falling for a physical, temporary love.

Or...stop searching, and see that the work of finding the ultimate love has already been done, and it was done...... all for you. 

I will love, because YOUR love, is the greatest love. It is all I need. and I am confident when I say, “I know You love me.” 

YOUR love is not physical. meaning....it will last forever. forever.....
