| | Here it is... the end of a very long and emotional semester. As I'm cleaning out my desk, I pull out something that made me smile. A little keychain flashlight I procured from a geo cache only hours before our car wreck on January 17th.
It just reminded me of the little light that we can take away from such experiences. Not all bad experiences have to be great and completely terrible... even if they are that way at first. God makes all things new and everything is made beautiful in it's time.
Ecclesiastes 3:11
"He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end."
I don't know God's plan for me and why He spared my life that day. I don't know why He took away the only man that I ever loved so deeply. I don't know where I'm going or what's up ahead and as Ecclesiastes says, I cannot fathom what God is doing from the beginning to the end. All I know is that I want God to be there every step of the way.
Eternity is in my heart and I think about it constantly now more than ever. What am I taking with me when my time really IS over? I feel like I've wasted so much time indulging my flesh and I feel so silly for having a midlife crisis at 19 years of age. Then I think, it's better to feel this way now and do something about it before I'm 50 and feel the same way.
Whatever darkness you go through, look for the light and hold on to it. The more little lights you have, the more clearly you can see in this pitch black. |
