If you died today

Sasha was my youth pastor's friend. He had known her since kindergarten

and they grew up together. But on Monday, October 24, her life came to an end.

                             "She was simply driving to school, little did

                              she know that this would be her last day."

Sasha drove to school with her little brother in the seat beside her.

We can only guess what she was thinking as she swerved off the road and rolled

down the hill. She smashed into a tree and broke all of the ribs on one side.

She fought hard for her life but unfortunately this is one battle she did not win .

She died the next morning.

It's hard to believe that someone could lose their life so quickly.

This story has made me think about my own life.

What would they say about me if I died today?

I doubt they would have much to say about me.

I don't want people to say that I was the quiet little girl that nobody ever got the chance to know because I was too shy.

Have I lived life to the fullest?

I know I have not lived every day of my life for God but maybe I can live the rest of my days for Him. It will not be easy but I am going to try to work up a new reputation for myself. One that clearly states I am a Christian and I care about living my life to the fullest.

Have I actually impacted anyone's life?

I honestly don't think so. I think I am too quiet when it comes to the topic about being a Christian. I need to get out there and let people know that I am NOT the average teenager that doesn't care about anyone but myself.

This story definitely got me thinking and I hope it will help someone else too.
