Gosh. Two of my friends are just so right.
They both were talking about the same things this week--relaxing, taking life in, enjoying what's around you.
Life is hard. I mean, there are just so many changes happening all the time. Here I am, in college, and what have I done? I've stressed about new things happening, getting assignments done, managing my time...but have I actually enjoyed myself?
But back to my friends. Both are such amazing writers (you know who you are :) ) and they just make me realize that while studying and being prepared are important, this is going to go by so fast. Its going to be over in four short years. And also, there are so many things I'm missing. Just simple truths God is putting out there for us to enjoy: a sunny, but breezy day; the crisp air that is a sure sign of fall coming; friends laughing around me, showing me what life is about in their own individual ways. All of these things are things I should be paying close attention to, and not only that, but rejoicing in them and enjoying them.
I laid in the sun today by the fountain, talking to the man I love. It was just glorious.
So thank you girls. Thank you for being my friends and bringing me back to what's important.
I love that fountain! I laid by it too..alas I didn't talk to my love at the same time.

ReplyDeletethis is how life goes by.....it keeps passing by faster and faster. My Grandad use to tell me that and I didn't believe him. So my dear child embrace each opportunity, each moment, each contact with anyone you encounter. God gives us only so many opportunities we MUST take each one....love you
