Life is really changing quickly lately.
Because I find myself alone with my thoughts so often now, I have experienced many emotions daily.
I spend time remembering.
I spend time pondering.
I consider planning,
but have decided that is truly a waste of my time,
for I know I am not able to carry out most of my plans.
I spend a lot of time praying.
I spend time wondering.
I hope.
I have loved and lost.
I love and know I will lose until finally I am the one to go home.
I enjoy learning and seek new opportunities to experience.
I have enjoyed traveling many distances in recent years.
I don't laugh enough.
I cry, but too often try to stop the healing tears.
I serve.
I try to acknowledge service.
Life is changing fast
and
I know I am on "borrowed time".
I don't know when my last moment will be,
but I am not afraid.
That is the greatest blessing in my life;
knowing where I came from and where I am going.
I thank God for all who are willing to share this journey with me.

Your post made me think of this song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQkBeOisNM0 (actually I can't get this song out of my head.) I'm glad you and I know what we stand for (or I should say "who" we stand for) and know to be True. :) Much love!
ReplyDeleteThis is a powerful song. I think it shows the many layers of battles we all face through the eyes of a young man. His hormones are at their peak, but he is a man, not an animal and he doesn't like what happened to his sister. Yet, when he looks at her illegitimate child, he knows that good can come from terrible lies. The lyrics don't spell out what we believe, that God is behind it all. Another obvious story could be a young person caught up in war, following orders, and seeing things that no human should have to see; doing things that no human should be asked to do. Who can truly understand war?
ReplyDeleteThe terrible lies, the brutal acts of war are not what God wills at all. But, if we turn to God, submit our wills to serve His, all will be made good and new. Redemption, forgiveness, and salvation are gifts freely given and always available. Always our choice to accept or reject.
