Time doesn't stop. Time doesn't slow down. Don't you wish sometimes that it would? Or, better yet, that it would go backwards? How many mistakes have we made that we wish we could undo? Have you ever wanted to freeze a moment that's simply so perfect that just the thought of it ending is painful? Do you ever feel like life is spinning out of control, and you can't keep up with it?
That's how I feel right now. I'm graduating from college in 25 days - when did THAT happen?? I'm looking for jobs, taking exit exams, trying to stay motivated in my classes. I'll be going to live on the other side of the world in just a few short months. In my mind, I'm still a little high school kid, with no bigger worries than what she's going to wear tomorrow. It's scary and overwhelming being in the "real world". But God is always there for me, encouraging me and lighting up my sky (see my post from yesterday). Joshua 1:9 says, "Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go." It's exhausting being in the real world; but in my weakness, He is strong (2 Corinthians 12:9). Isaiah 40:29-31 says that "He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint."
God is so good. When our world seems to be spinning out of control, we can take comfort in the fact that He's there with us. He will give us strength, peace, comfort, and direction. I don't know about you, but to me, that's something that I want to shout about :).
