The joy and peace of knowing...fear death no more!

Before I received eternal life something was missing and I worried a lot about what it would be like to die.

I can remember thinking and contemplating what it would be like to die. Where would I end up? Would I just lye in a casket and rot? Or is it similar to going to sleep? Or would I just end up in a world of nothingness? I was afraid of the unknown results or death and where I would end up.

Then one day, someone shared with me how I could have eternal life. How I could end up in heaven and have a life of joy and peace and no longer fear death.

Now that I have eternal life I am content and no longer fear death. I enjoy life now and I am looking forward to life forever.

In 2015, my family and I were returning home from a vacation trip. Traveling south on I85, an hour north of Atlanta, a car ran into the left rear tire of our van. We spun out of control and end up crossways blocking the three center lanes of the five lane highway. I woke up in the midst of the crash and remember strairing out of the window seeing a wall of lights. Somehow traffic was stop in the three lanes our van blocked but traffic continued in the two lanes on either side of us. I immediately checked with everyone in the van to make sure they were okay. Surprisingly, no one was hurt!

Because of the joy, peace, and confidence of eternal life, my next reaction was to pray and thank God. I had a peace that surpassed all understanding during that very stressful and trying time.
