Time

Life is but a fleeting moment. At times it may seem like a day lasts for an eternity and will never end but in fact it is less than a second in the entirety of life. This earthly life will be over in a blink of an eye and all of the things of this world will fade away. Objects and self-fulfilling goals do not matter. We do not take these things with us in the end. What matters most is the way that we live and the relationships that we build.

I had lost sight of what is really important. I filled my time with work and school and did not leave anytime for the one who created me and gave me all of the wonderful opportunities that I partake in. I had forgotten to take time to smell the roses and bask in the beauty of God's creation.

I have become drained and my body is left tattered and exhausted. I have become consumed with my struggles when I should have been focusing on God. What was I thinking? There is only so much time on this earth to shine for Him. One should not be consumed with selfish ambitions and thoughts.

When I am down and long to be normal I must remember that God's ways are not my own and I will never completely understand His ways. He did not guarantee that things would be easy and that everything would always go well but He did promise that He will never leave me.

As time speeds by like a shooting star, enjoy the moments life that make you smile, be grateful for all that you have, and never forget to love and care for others. When you feel broken and down remember that there is One who will give you strength and hold you up. Live life for the One who created all things and holds all time in the palm of His loving hands.

Psalm 46:10

"Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth."

Desert Song

Hill Song

"This is my prayer in the desert
And all that's within me feels dry
This is my prayer in the hunger in me
My God is a God who provides

And this is my prayer in the fire
In weakness or trial or pain
There is a faith proved
Of more worth than gold
So refine me Lord through the flames

And I will bring praise
I will bring praise
No weapon forged against me shall remain

I will rejoice
I will declare
God is my victory and He is here

And this is my prayer in the battle
And triumph is still on it's way
I am a conqueror and co-heir with Christ
So firm on His promise I'll stand

All of my life
In every season
You are still God
I have a reason to sing
I have a reason to worship

This is my prayer in the harvest
When favor and providence flow
I know I'm filled to be emptied again
The seed I've received I will sow"
