Time Goes So Crazy Fast

Recently I have been examining my life, thinking back at decisions I've made, my life for the Lord, and just my life in general, and honestly I feel like I have wasted a lot of my life so far. When I look back I see that a lot of those years I spent unsaved (I didn't get saved until I was 18), I thought I was saved, so I always tried to live right, but of course you can't truly be on fire for the Lord as an unsaved person. And then after I got saved, I still didn't quite get on fire, I have lived most of my years as a "lukewarm" Christian. I also see a girl who has lived looking forward to the next big event, or wishing for summertime throughout all the other seasons. I see a lot of discontentment as opposed to embracing the seasons of my life. With tomorrow being my 21st birthday, I realized if I live until I'm 80, I've already lived up 1/4 of my life. 

But, the good news is there is always today, and hopefully tomorrow to change that. I have decided to change the way I look at things and embrace the journey instead of enduring every day up until whatever it is that I am looking forward to. Serving the Lord with gladness, and throwing my heart into it. The Lord has been working in my heart recently like I've never felt before. There is a lot of changing and growing I want to do before this precious life ends, and the best time to begin is today. You don't want to get to the end of your life and have a heart full of regrets because you didn't give out that tract when you should have, you lived out your days overwhelmed with care instead of casting all your care upon the Lord. You only get one life, and one chance at getting it right, use it wisely. Live to the best of your abilities and serve the Lord with all you've got. 

"Does life ever scare you?

The way it moves so crazy fast

The way things change in a second

The way things never seem to last

Does it ever make you worry?

That one day you'll turn to find 

Life slipped by like sand in an hourglass 

Memories, just moments in your mind

Does it ever make you stop and wonder?

About this life you live 

About the precious ones you love

About the time you give

We waste our days wishing 

For things that can't come again,

Spend your moments really living  

The time you're existing in

We're always longing for the future 

Or remembering the past 

Never even living the moment 

that sits within our grasp 

We're busy planning for tomorrow

Or wishing for yesterday 

As if we never realize

Right now Just slipped away"- McKenna Morris
