“While you’re sitting around thinking bout what you can’t change and worrying about all the wrong things…time’s flying by…moving so fast…you better make it count cause you can’t get it back.”
Um. Carrie Underwood, could you have sung a more perfect song?! I didn’t think so.
Yesterday, as I sat around listening to what everybody else was thankful for, I was thankful that if God saw fit, I will be done with school in a year and a few weeks.
Today, I am thankful for time. Time I spent with family. Time that I jumped…or leapt…off a rock not knowing if I’d ever find solid land again. Time when the only thing my hand held was faith. Time when I watched all control I ever even thought I had slip right through those hands. Time I loved and held nothing back
Time when I gut-wrenchingly wrote this post knowing loving holding nothing back is so hard. Not a two-way street.
Maybe I will always love that person more than they love me. Maybe I’m expecting them to show their love and missing the millions of ways they show that same love to me daily.
Maybe they think I’ll never love them as much as they love me.
Regardless, I’m thankful that love makes time worth everything I’ve got.
As Carrie sings in that same song, “It {love} sure makes everything else seem so small.”
Love is so big. So grand. So…impossible to understand. And to know that I am loved…well, that’s enough for me.
God’s love is perfect. Even when ours isn’t.
