rachel's tears

rachel scott was a typical teenage girl who was incredibly dedicated to following and serving Christ. Though she was mocked for her beliefs, at times doubted her faith, and constantly struggled with personal issues every teenager faces, she remained faithful to God. She wanted to live for Christ and her life to be an impact for God.

rachel had this intimate relationship with God, so close in her walk with Him tt she knew she didn't have much time. in her journal she wrote "this will be my last year Lord. i have gotten what i can. thank you.". that very year, on april 20, 1999, during the columbine high school tragedy, rachel died for her faith.

what really impressed me abt rachel was her walk with God. her dedication and willingness to serve Christ, and totally submit to Him. reading "rachel's tears", a book on the spiritual journey of this columbine martyr, has taught and reminded me of many impt lessons. she was always gng to God and asking Him to use her...have i been allowing God to do tt abt my life? and one impt thing that we should all remember: tomorrow is not a promise, but a chance.

the fact tt m still alive this very moment is purely by the grace of God...and when i die, will the Lord be able to say to me, "well done, good & faithful servant!" ?
