Over the past few days, I have been pondering on this idea of time. With college, everyone says this is the time of your life, or make sure you manage your time wisely, or the time will fly by, and so much more. Throughout this big change in my life, I have kept praying and reminding myself you are exactly where you are suppose to be. You and I were created for such a time as this. We were made to make a difference with the time we have on this earth.
So I began thinking about the passage in Ecclesiastes chapter 3. It is titled A Time for Everything. It talks about there are different seasons of life, and how God created each time to be something special and unique. In Ecclesiastes 3: 11, it says 'He has made everything beautiful in its time.' It later goes onto say that no one can even begin to fathom what God has done for us from beginning to end. Like He plans everything. He knows your next step, and regardless of how you act He loves you anyways. What an amazing, loving, good good Father we have!! There are different seasons in our life that we have to love and embrace. Each season will bring new people to influence and love and celebrate the amazing things Jesus has done for us. With how fast pace life is and how quick time moves (LIKE I AM IN COLLEGE ALREADY?? WHAT???), never forget to make the most of the time right in front of you! Enjoy the little moments of laughing till tears with your roommates or the hibachi man calling you 'Baby Spice' and so many more memories we already have already. As you enjoy the moments right in front of you, don't forget what your purpose here is: to love others like Jesus did. Love them like crazy! People from your last season (and don't just drop them but continue to love on them), people who are right in front of you, people who creep you out, people who are easy to love, and just everyone! I am thankful for such an incredible Heavenly Father who loves us so much that He uses us to do extraordinary things even though we are just ordinary people. Thank you God for making everything perfect in your timing!
