What are you about?

I don’t normally post really personal stuff on the internet, but here goes. I was driving around by myself really late last night for no apparent reason other than to think about things and clear my thoughts, when something occured to me. My family isn’t alright. You see, I have a pretty big family and we’ve all always been close. Recently a few people in my family have been getting really sick. Like, REALLY sick. They have cancer. This news didn’t really effect me much at first because death has never frightened me. For instance, a few years ago my Aunt died of cancer. She was a wonderful woman. She was the kind of person that somehow managed to make a room seem happier whenever she was in it. I never even shed a tear for her though, and when I thought about why, I realized this: I was sad that the world had lost such an amazing person, but my happiness for where she now was outweighed my sadness. You see, I envied her. I envy all those who no longer have to live in this broken world, but get to experience perfection with our Lord. Sometimes when I feel like giving up, the only thing that keeps me going is that I know God has a great plan for my life, and I have a lot of work to do before I can be with Him. Anyway, all of that is beside the point. The point of all of this is that I would really appreciate it if people could be praying for my family. Sure, praying for their health would be nice, but really I would like people to pray that everyone would be willing to accept whatever outcome God has planned. And in the off-chance that someone actually reads this whole thing, I could definitely use some prayers too.
