This is hypothetical questions based on real life situation. I am sure everyone will concur on how unpredictable life is. With sudden twist life brings, people die from disease, car accident, heart attack on any given day.
1. How would you as a Christian react if you were diagnosed with cancer and had only 3 months to live?
2. How would you as a Christian react if you got hit by a drunk driver and had to live with paralyzed body for the rest of ur life?
Would you at least protest to God on why terrible things like this had to happen in ur life?
I would appreciate any frank or honest feedback. Thanks.

As for the cancer, I would try to be the brave woman my sister was. Do not let people know there was no hope and live every day to the fullest. Let the ones you love know how much you love them. Resolve your petty issues and make peace with yourself and God. Just stop worrying about all the small things and concentrate on all the blessings in your life.
As for the drunk driver...
That's a tough one. Someone goes out and gets drunk, has no regard for anyone but themself, and leaves you paralized?
I hope I would be a strong enough person to realize I should feel blessed because I am still here on earth to see my children grow up. I would be highly strained to forgive that person but, with love and patience, I would hope I would feel the blessing of life and move on and eventually forgive.
I have protested to God on many occasions for the loved ones I have lost! My two sisters were my heart and soul! I lost both of them within 7 years...
The last in November.
One to murder, one to cancer.
I struggle with it every day. It's hard to see so many evil people who go on and on while the good hearted and decent suffer...
But, I wake up every morning and think of a happy time we shared instead of dwelling on the what ifs...
Whatever doesn't kill you, just makes you stronger. And hopefully, a little better of a person :-)

There's a lovely little film out there called, "Last Holiday" starring Queen Latifa. It's a remake of an old British film by the same name but starring Alec Guinness. I think, if I had a short time left, I would do something similar. Enjoy my last days to the fullest while making certain that whatever is left over from my estate is used to help others. I'd want to leave with a smile and make certain that others will smile because of me.

1. I will not be able to take it. Really shock and feel its the end of the world for me. I will pray to God why does it happens to me in a million people. If i have a boyfriend, i will let him know and break off with him. If he insist to spent the rest of my 3 months with me, i will be much appreciated. Quit my current job and spent a nice hoilday as long as i can to the place which i longer to go. I will write my will and transfer all my savings and property to my parents including the policies i bought for my insurances.
2. This situation will be worse than remaining 3 months of my life spam. In my point of view, I would rather to be in "another place" then to live the rest of my life in a wheel chair. I'm glad that i came to this world ... thank god and my parents but i do not wish to be a burden for my family. I'm a girl and what happens every month when i can't even take care of myself. i was born with all the goodness of a mankind and suddenly lost some ability to do certain jobs makes me low in morale.

Things happen due to cirucmstances. God won't do anything to you until Judgement day, all that happens until than is due to circumstances. It is up to us to find out the truth each and every indisual that is not a child. The Lord wants no one to perish but many will because no one will pick up the book and just read it themselves and know that the Lord wants us to do his will not our own. This is the exact reason Adam and Eve got kicked out of the Garden of Eden, because they did there own will not the Will of God. So there are 2 things they we know for certain that is the TRUTH and a LIE. Truth always prevails. Keep the Faith

I am not a christian but if I had 3 months to live I would spend my time wisely doing what I want to do without harming others. I would also have my wake so I can enjoy it with my friends
then make my way to Vahalla and join in at that party

I would cash out my IRA and 401k and head straight for Vegas.
I'd probably end up dying out there before my 3 months were up.
For the record, that feedback is completely honest. I have no regrets in life, and if I had 3 months left I'd want to enjoy it as much as possible.

#1, I would put all my affairs in order so that my family would have a minimal amount of trouble, fuss, etc. and then I would look forward to seeing my savior and my parents, who are already in heaven with Jesus.
#2, I pray to my God and Savior that I would react as befitting a true follower of Jesus Christ and forgive, blaming no one. In my own strength, I could never accomplish that.

I consider this to be a foolish question. I don't won't to hurt your feelings but that is how I feel it.
1- Be ready to go at all times.
2- Life can be an do strange things, deal with it. Life either rides you or you ride life.
