Let’s be honest, this year is whizzing by and it’s creeping me out! I still feel like it’s my birthday month, but that was 90 days ago. Ninety. Days. Ago. What the what? All I can think is that time is teaching me (and maybe you too) how to properly value it. Whoever created the beautiful analogy that ‘Time is like a handful of sand’ and the tighter you grasp it, the faster it runs through your fingers (and all that yadda ya) was on to something.
I just want more. I want more of you, time. Be slower. Be sweeter. Be where I need you to be when I need you–and don’t run away so quickly! Yes, that was my love sonnet to father time, and it’s more where that came from.
All jokes aside, while this year is running the 400 meter dash and blowing me away–I’m honestly learning to be at peace. I’m learning to have a vision, but not marry myself to “plans”–especially those predicated by TIME. Time is gonna do its thing–but what are you gonna do, Steph??!
Well, I’m going to work my vision everyday and let the wind blow how it wants. Relationships can wither, my outlook on a ton of things will continue to change, I’ll mature and maybe go up and down a dress size (hopefully more down than up). But time will remain and the God who holds time remains steadfast. And so the very high hopes for this year–even with all my mess and unaccounted for tears–they remain highlighted and in place.
I just wanted to post this small note to tell you to stay encouraged–to be excited about a new month because it means we are closer to the promises God made us. What’s even better is we wake up with brand new chances to maximize the time we are given and the mercies we have been granted.
Enjoy it all, baby luvs! I’m looking forward to a new month with you!
