Time heals everything, time heals everything...

Yikes! It has been almost a month since my last post!
Today I am seeing God... seeing the holy... in time
Time. It's something we cant ever seem to get enough of. Everyone is always rushing and going and doing. While previous posts here, various care and spiritual workers, and wise quotes will tell us to slow down and see the holy in the quiet not so jam packed times, today's post is different.
Since my last post, time has EXPLODED! Literally. I haven't stopped running, doing, going, writing, reading, turning in, studying, etc. April went so quickly it has made my head spin! And you know what? That is holy enough for me. I am counting on time to go...
since my last post:
- leaves have come out completely on trees
- I have seen my family whom I rarely see and truly allow the Spirit to enter into my life
- I have healed, my finger is almost normal
- things I felt I "cant survive" have come and gone
- hurts have healed
Time, no matter how fleeting, is exactly what we all need... and is exactly what we have. We have 24hours in a day, 365 a year - for who knows how many years. I remember being a kid and when there was some catastrophe (slamming my brother's fingers in a door, being scared and wide awake at night, getting in a car accident in the high school parking lot, applying/preparing for college, getting in trouble for bad grades...mouthing off...missing curfew...etc.) I always had that feeling of, "I am not going to survive this." In high school especially you cant see anything past the end of the week. Life goes on? What a concept!
But life DOES go on... and that is such a gift! And when the semester crunches, or friendships are stressful, or financial burdens press, or deadlines loom, its so nice to know that no matter what time will continue. In most instances (save death) - you will survive and keep going in whichever direction you choose.
Nothing is forever. And while that can be sad, I guess the key is to just enjoy the time you have...stressful and hectic or peaceful and nice... its the time you have.
I have gained a little longer perception in the years since high school... I look forward to the years ahead, and I fondly remember the times past, and I am grateful for the rushing time river taking me along this journey. Sometimes we'll be on a languid float down the lazy river, other time's we'll be whitewater rafting! But I'd rather have the moments than not.
Does that make sense? I'm not sure I know what I am talking about here... I am going to assume that with TIME, my blogging will improve. :) Thank God for that!
