Summer is almost here & I'm writing down all the things I want to do & counting down days. It's that time of year in teacherdom where it seems all at once so close & so far. It's only 12 more days! How can I possibly survive for 12 more days? Yep, that pretty much sums it up.
More than ever, besides all the bucket-y list items of go to the library, eat a snow cone, and clean out the closets, I want to be present in the now & enjoying what I've got this summer {& beyond}. Oh yes, how easy it is to always be waiting on the next best & brightest - the new adventure your hoping/praying will be just around the bend... But what about the now?! The minutes & seconds & moments that are precious & real & spinning past & being neglected &, yes, even wished away {hence my school countdown}. I find it a fine line indeed between the now & the hope of the better in the not-now. It's tricky, but I don't want to miss the now amid all the pressing thoughts of When we get a house... When we get pregnant... When we get out of debt... When Jesus returns... 😇 Because one day, my sisters, He will & there will be no more waiting around for anything, & we will give an account for all our days. Thank You, Jesus, that You are faithful even when I am not.
Let's make our moments count.
Oh, yes... & in the end loving Him is all that counts.
