good life

2 Timothy 2:22
"Flee the evil desires of youth, and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart."


It's really cool cause I was reading 2 Timothy last night and this was Paul's last letter he ever wrote. He was in jail, practically alone, and sentenced to death because he followed Jesus, and so these were his last words to Timothy to stay strong as he was leading a church. It's easy to be bored reading the Bible or to not fully connect, but this showed me that it's not just "the Bible" but a collection of letters filled with zeal, passion, hope, love, sadness, and much more. It's so real! Hard to find in any old book, movie, or tv show where everything seems 'too good to be true' and unrealistic. This was a normal human being who was writing to his friend that he would never get to see again. I can kind of sorta relate because I've had to say a fair share of goodbyes the last couple days as I leave for the summer and won't be seeing a lot of old friends once we all start our separate university lives. 


I hope you all have a wonderful summer and promise me that you won't just let it pass by but show your friends and family how much you love and appreciate them! You won't always have that chance.
