Life

Tonight was the last night of Impact Jr. Yet again, kids rushed the stage wanting to be baptized. There were probably 30 of them. It was amazing. Before the singing began, two videos were played. One video was for Father's Day. It showed all of the Dad here with their children. It was really sweet and it made me think of my own dad. I called him today to tell him Happy Father's Day and that I left his present by my dresser in my room. Just as I expected he said he'd wait until I get home before he opens it. My dad is great and I'm so lucky to have him. I am constantly thanking God for the parents he gave me. I am so blessed!

The second video showed all of the baptisms that happened last night/this morning. It was amazing!! It was so awesome seeing about 20 or more middle school children giving their lives to God. It was touching to see the people baptizing them wrap their arms around them as soon as they came up out of the water. Very moving. I love knowing that all of this children will one day be in Heaven. This past week I have realized exactly how fragile life is since Will's drowning. I don't know if it's because I couldn't go to the funeral or what, but it just doesn't seem real. But I've seen that you never know when your life will end or how long you have left. When we are young we think we have years and years ahead of us, but that's no promise.
That's why it kills me when people say that they will "change later" or that they're just "going through a phase." I hurt for them and it really just doesn't make sense to me at all.
