moments.

October 15, 2010

Life moves far too quickly.  I often find myself completely caught up in the whirlwind, not sure how I’ve made it so far or where I’m even going.  Sometimes I feel like I’m just going through the motions, just hoping to survive a test or to make it to the weekend. 

But there are moments.

Moments when I remember just how beautiful my life is, just how rich and how full.  I had one of those moments tonite.  As I sat with two friends eating warm soup and cornbread and talking and listening to music, all of a sudden it hit me.  I could breathe again.  I could appreciate the smiles and laughter of my friends.  I was soaking it all in, and not thinking or worrying about what I needed to do next.  It was simple, nothing particularly special or out of the ordinary.  But it was what I needed.

The Lord is good and faithful, even when I get caught up in the worries and cares of this world.  And He blesses me with moments like these to slow down and remember how thankful I am for this life.
