It's not time out, it's time in.

Hello Everyone.

I'm in Kirkof today, right, and I’m looking for a spot to sit as I wait for one of my girlfriends to meet me. I want to find a calming place to sit which I presume would include a nice view. After I walk for what seemed like forever, I slumped myself down on a couch. Though it had a window, I wasn't really thinking it to be much of a view – but ‘twas all I could find As I sat there I looked out the window and what to my wondering eyes should appear, I know, I know, you're thinking reindeer, but no. And it didn't appear it was already there, but okay moving on, it was the tip of the clock tower on campus. All of a sudden it hit me...I had sat at the absolutely perfect spot. Time! The view I was experiencing and the angle I was looking at it through was a direct representation of my life.

You see, I rush so much through life, and I get so super excited anticipating future events that often times I fail at being fully present. When I fail at being present it's like looking through a window at a clock. I literally just watch time pass me by as opposed to experiencing life through the use of time. It's something I think we all tend to forget, especially considering the culture and the times we live in. Jesus knew we struggled with this concept as He said, "Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life....Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself" Matthew 6:27, 34.

I’m thinking there is nothing I can do to add or take away from the timeline of my life, but there is plenty I can do to add and take away from my living... I think a lot of you can relate (at least a little) to what I’m talking about. So why worry? God is in control. Goodness will prevail. And that's all we need to know to live life. There is so much more that could be said about this, but for now I’m going to end my cheer for the day with:

Cheering you on as you live life.

May you strive to be fully present in every moment passing.
