Ever since I got accepted into the World Race back in November my life became a fast ticking clock. Immediately I began setting countdowns for Training camp, summer activities, weddings and last but not least launch. I became so obsessed with all the amazing experiences God had put in my path that I totally lost track of what mattered the most; right now. Great times came and went, but as soon as one thing ended it was back to wishing away the days until my next “big event” would arrive. Just recently I began to look back and realize how fast the days turned into weeks and months and before I knew it half a year had passed. I don’t want to miss out on what God wants to reveal to me TODAY because I am so caught up in TOMORROW. As I studied and read the word I constantly had a “prepare for the future” mentality, (which is very important) but I don’t remember many times where I sat and asked God what he wanted to teach me today, in this moment. Ecclesiastes 3:1 says “There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens.” NIV Currently there are two months until I leave for my first country, Guatemala. That’s 65 days, not to waste away, but 65 days to continually seek God with my entire being. 65 days to cherish with family and friends, to make mistakes and grow from them. I will continue to take this time moment by moment because each day is a gift from God that I will never be able to take back.
