Sometimes I look in the mirror and wonder where time has gone. I can't believe how everything is the same one day, and then the next you look around and find everything has changed. Change is a good thing, but I can't get over how quickly it seems to happen. Sometimes I wish I could stop time because I just want to hold on to this moment forever, and I don't want to let it go. "Wait, just one more minute," I tell myself. "Don't be so anxious to grow up." We tend to wish away our time, and then suddenly we find ourselves trying to hang on to it tightly, wanting to bring it back. It's something we all have to learn, really, to enjoy the time that has been given to us, and to not waste it. Life moves fast enough already without us wishing it away. As I get older I catch myself thinking about moving out, leaving the state, maybe even the country, and part of it terrifies me and I wish I could be a little kid again without all the responsibility. And at the same time I enjoy being responsible, driving around town, going places with my friends, attending college, it's almost crazy but I really like it. It's like when you're a little kid, riding in the backseat, and you could fall asleep driving home at night, because you knew your dad was driving, and he could get you there safely. You could rest knowing that your parents knew the way. Suddenly you're the one driving the car at night and you're responsible for getting your passengers safely home. No more falling asleep in the backseat.
Please don't take your life for granted.You are precious and valuable. God sent Jesus Christ, His only Son, to die on the cross so that you and I could live.
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that WHOSOEVER believes in Him should NOT perish, but have everlasting life. ~John 3:16
So they said, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved" ~Acts 16:31
