Life.. is so extraordinarily busy... in some of the greatest ways possible. As I watch the days fly by, I realize that I'll soon be looking back on these times, probably while making some smart comment on how immature and naive I was. Life changes quickly and moves even faster, so I assume all I can do is adapt and accept that I don't know anything.
To grow up as quickly as I have has been my greatest privilege as well as my greatest reason for fear in my life. I look ahead to my "distant" future, which will, in fact, come faster than any other years have, wondering how different life will be and where God will take me. I look at my past, shaking my head at how oblivious I was to God's interference in my life. And I look at this moment, as I sit here simply sharing my thoughts, wondering if God will perhaps use them to encourage others.
As crazy as life has gotten, I've realized one thing: God is all I have had, He is all that I have, and He is all that I ever will have. He takes better care of me than anyone else in the world could. I have been blessed enough to experience extraordinary love on earth, but it is nothing compared to the love that God has for me. The songs that I sing to Him, He sings straight back to me with even more passion than I could ever dream of. When I die, I will leave everything and everyone behind; but He stays with me the entire way. He is all I have, and everything I have.
It is imperative that I remind myself of this every day. He is truly what life is all about. Even Jesus said, "Seek the Kingdom of God and His righteousness above all else, and he will give you everything you need." He is the First and the Last. The Beginning and the End. My Beginning and my End.
