It's so enticing. The thought of it lures me in: college, classes, adventures, new friends, leading in Young Life, and so many more possibilities. Wonderful beautiful possibilities... I want to run ahead to grab it! I think about it and I get over excited. I get ahead of myself.
Wait! Breathe... what about right NOW. What about the beauty of NOW. The sunsets that happen at 8:30. The slow summer days that go by so fast. The touch of the sun as you lay on the beach. The smell of low tide by the bay. Riding my bike to work. Watching those precious little girls I watch learn more and grow up. Seeing my family every day when I wake up. My own room. Home cooked food. My doggy. And those are just the things I forget to appreciate! What about that my beloved Corina is coming to see me this weekend. Or the fact that I'm having a birthday party! Or, what about the precious few days I have left with my lovely Michelle before she's off to travel the world. What about growing new friendships, or having old friendship's change. What about the adventures that I can have HERE?!
There's so much to look forward to when I wake up every day. I'm so sorry that I forget that sometimes. Dear friends, if you're reading this... find something you're blessed with, and be thankful for it! <3
"Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful." Colossians 4:2
Life is beautiful right now...
