Happy 2012, everyone!
Recently, via Youtube, I stumbled upon the story of this teenager named Ben. Ben was 18 and a senior in high school living with a rare heart condition. He posted 2 videos of himself telling his story on Youtube. Just now, I read in People magazine that he had passed away on Christmas day. Ben's story touched millions and millions of people worldwide, including me. I don't know Ben, nor do I know what it's like to live with a chronic disease. However, my heart still ached for what he had to endure his whole life. I have been blogging so much about how living your life is so important, and about how being you is the best way to do that. Well, that is exactly what Ben did. Ben was not angry with God for having to live with a terrible condition. Rather, he thanked God for blessing him with a great, young life and was not afraid of death, because he knew that God would be there every step of the way. I encourage you to be like Ben, and to not be afraid of living your life. Take risks. Live like there's no tomorrow. Thank God for the wonderful life that you have, because you never know when you will see it end.
Love, Sarah Allison
