It had been a hectic day. Waking up ten-minutes late did little to aid my morning routine of rushing out the door in sopping wet hair and speeding through crazy drivers on a mission to arrive to work on time to buy newspapers from the bloodshot bearded man at Jacksons. My legs ached from running 7 miles the night before and burning my finger on a steamwand didn't lessen my quickly worsening mood. The hours ticked off ever-so-slowly as I made coffee creations for everyone and their mom (and their brother, uncle, great-aunt-twice-removed,etc..). Finally, two o'clock! Time to go...yipee! Rushing home, I made the quick change to workout clothes and sped off to the gym. Slogging back in the doorway two and a half hours later, I collasped into an unforgiving chair and made a feeble attempt at a salad. Another quick change, bedtime already?
Where had the day gone?
I remember pondering over this question that night as I sat in bed listening the chorus of pounding rain alternating with crashing winds. It's true, people have always told me to savour every moment, because time only speeds up as you age. Up until this point in my life, I have never given a second thought to that idea.
I'm learning that life does not slow down for us. It doesn't accommodate our needs; when we want more time, we can't simply ask for a slower version. When we want to skip the painful periods of what I like to call, "Jesus open-heart surgery", we can't simply flick fast-forward on our remote.
The fact is this: Life is happening now. Our world is changing every day; I believe that we should be as well. I never EVER want to reach a point where I think that I have truly 'arrived' and thus, stop striving for more of the Kingdom. I want to be able ask and hear God's thoughts on every situation. I want to be so in tune with His heart that I don't ever have to question His logic or whether what He wants to do is possible....I want a faith that moves mountains. I want to dance in freedom, without a care, simply because I love Him so much.
This is a blog. A blog about bringing heaven down. Let's open up the heavens and watch what unfolds.....
