The sands of time ...
Time is such a crazy commodity if you really think about it ...
We can trade time for opportunity ...we can chase time when we are late ....we can loose time we we cross the ocean ...we can make time for friends and family, and yet really it is an ever elusive, intangible 'thing'.
We can never turn back time or regain time, and so really to me it has become evident more and more each year how important it is to 'take time', to consciously appreciate the good in each and every day.
Yet sometimes I still feel as though time has robbed me of a life I always yearned for and dreamed of as a little girl. Where is my husband? My children? My house with the white picket fence? ......
You see we make mistakes , we pick ourselves up and we continue ....but time marches on, and not necessarily to our beat.
My heart gets sore at times thinking of all the missed opportunities , the people who have used and taken advantage of me .... I am tempted at times to assign blame, and to stamp my foot in petulence infuriated at life , circumstances, people, the list goes on and on ....
But in all honesty I made the choices that determined my future, and so I have to accept my role in the current positioning of the 'here and now' ....do I like it? NO!
What I have come to realise though, is that God takes all negatives and turns them into a positives. Today I may not see what the future holds...it may not even make sense to me, yet I must stand in Faith and wait, knowing that my God is a good God. He loves me and will never 'abandon' me.
He knows the desires of my heart. My life may not be happening as I had dreamed but it is happening according to His plan and purpose and whats more.... His timing is always perfect.
Today I encourage you to stop trying to reign in the intangible 'sands of time', and just let go....
HAVE FAITH
