Hello beautiful ladies!
I've remembered something this week that I'd forgotten about a while ago.
I believe some of you may have forgotten as well.
No, it's not a holiday.
Not a random fact. Not something you'd learn about in school. Not something our parents talk to us about often.
Our time is limited. I don't mean the number of hours in a day (although I often wish there were more..), but our time to live- it's limited. And time stops for no one. The science-fiction community has long been interested in time travel, finding the loophole and jumping through wormholes in space to get to a specific time and day, or even stopping time altogether. And if there's one thing I know, it's that media can only make popular what is already on the hearts of the people. We all long for time travel. We all want to go back to a time we were happy, or go forward to a time we're waiting for with anticipation. But the reality is, that's not how time works.
I have caught myself thinking about the future a lot lately. And I don't know how healthy that's been. I keep imagining how life will be once I move out, get married, have kids.... the list has honestly been endless the last few months. But especially this week, I'm realizing that my last few months of childhood are here. They're now. I won't get this time back. So why am I thinking about skipping forward so much? Life is hard. Change is on the horizon and I'm not really ready, emotionally, to handle this. And yet rather than enjoy this time, I'm stuck on daydreaming about the things to come.
Please do not misunderstand me. The future is a beautiful place. God WILL prosper you and me and all His children. Yes we will all go through some very tough times, but we will be blessed beyond measure. However my point is, we shouldn't let the happy thought of the future take over the happy thoughts of today. Be mindful of the life you are living now. We're not promised to live to 18. or 21. or 45, or 67, or 81. We only have now. God will call some of us home earlier than others. We shouldn't spend our limited time worrying about the future. Instead, we should focus on being the best person we can be. Focus on growing and maintaining your own skills. Be happy, and do the work of God as often as you can. If we all focused on making ourselves better people, and making the world a better place, don't you think it would happen? Wouldn't we change lives? Couldn't we change history?? I believe we could.
Sisters, go out into the world TODAY and appreciate every second of life. It could all be gone in an instant.
May God poor his blessings on each of you this week,
Kat
