Time

I've been a little overwhelmed today thinking about how fast time goes by. It was just last summer......it was just Christmas right? Already February now and I fear I am in the same spot. I have these dreams, as I'm sure we all do, yet I seem to never get around to actually accomplishing them and if I ever do it's at a snail's pace. WHY??? Lazy, yes....Fear, yes.....Spiritual enemy, yes yes. What if we actually just were who God planned for us to be and did what He planned for us to do? You think it's possible and what would that look like? We accept mediocrity as success...at least I do. If I'm doing alright, not falling too badly, serving Him, praying here and there, then all is well. And the beautiful thing about Him is that it is!! His love is deep enough, His grace is sufficient enough that I could get through life living this way and still meet Him with His arms outstretched. But I fear and know I am missing something! Last week at Eikon, the speaker gave the most beautiful analogy I've heard in a long time. He was out with his daughter and saw a sloth up in a tree and couldn't wait to show it to her. So he pointed to where it was and told her to look up in the tree, but she couldn't see it. So he called her closer and pointed again, but she still couldn't see. So finally, he picked her up and they looked again, and with her cheek pressed to his, she could finally see. Cheek to cheek, her eyes could see what his could see. I want my eyes to see what my Father's eyes see. I want to see myself the way that He does and believe that I can be her. I want to see you the way He does and love you like He does. I want to see the purpose of this life the way He does and take part in it in the way that He has dreamed for me. I want to feel my cheek pressed to His and stay right there.
