So, I've been busy recently with several new adventures.
My Sophomore year of school. I'm now officially a Youth ministry Major, and I've made new friends, and new starts to old relationships and new beginnings to relationships that I really didn't see coming. One in particular. This is the one I'm most excited and terrified by.
But that is another story for another time.
The purpose of this blog for today is to tell you all to SLOW DOWN.
Take a look around you.
You're surrounded by beauty and life... vibrant colour... there is beauty everywhere.
Even in a city, even in something or someone that seems to be ugly or lost or broken.
The reason why I state this?
9 Years ago was the attack on the World Trade Center.
How many of those people didn't say goodbye to their families? How many people not going to the tower that day regret not taking the time to have one last breakfast with their family, because they were rushing to get to work on time? How many people alive regret the fact that they really put work above their spouses...and then never saw them again.
And Asking all these questions may cause people to question if there is a God to allow all these broken families, all these moments that they could have missed, but their story has ended. yes it's tragic, yes there was devastation...
And nine years later, we can still do nothing about it.
Except for what we do with our Time. Our days are numbered. Our time is short...
What will you do with it?
