Current Thoughts
Life . . . what an adventure, huh?
When you’re little you think the grown ups have all the fun. Then you grow up and realize kids have all the fun. Growing up I was always pushing for the next thing, next phase of freedom and independence. Why was I in such a hurry? It’s like those people who speed up to get to the next stop light. My mom told me when I graduated from college that “the party’s over”. Boy, was she right;)
I’d like to think that I have made progress in “being where I am”. I have learned that there is always going to be another curve of life that I want to hurry past to see what’s around the corner; or valley that I just want to try and sprint through because it hurts so. Contentment is always a battle - every phase of life has new and different challenges but my God is still the same. I need to reflect Him in that steadiness - consistency. His character doesn’t change like my circumstances.
He is big and awesome and good and sovereign and I bring Him joy - how cool of a thought is that?? I’m not writing all of this because of some big “thing” that is going on in my life. I was just thinking about how much my life has changed even in the last few years. My life is not what or where I thought it was going to be - it’s so much better!
This is exactly what I’ve been thinking about the past few weeks. Life gets better as God gets more of a place in our lives. I think we’ve both been learning alot about this lately! Thanks for the encouragement–as always . . .
