Life

Do you ever stop to look at your life and you find yourself asking these familiar question, when did i get old, what is God thinking about my life, and where did the time go? After work today, I sat in my room and had one of those moments that forced me to ask these questions. I thought to myself, just the other day i was graduating from High school, then undergrad, and now at 25 years of age GOING ON 26 -- and one more year of graduate school left, i'm wondering where the time went, i'm starting to feel old, and when all is said and done I just want the Will of God accomplished in my life (if only i knew what God thought about that)

Does it ever feel like there is so much to do and you either have no time or you are running out of time?

Do you think about your age and everything you would like to do but then your age becomes a problem. You are either too young and you think no one will listen OR you think you are too old, too much time has gone by, and no one will listen. YOUNG or OLD... you don't think your voice will be heard.What i'm learning concerning these some of theses difficult questions is simple:

----------------------------------------------
On what i'm thinking and how i do it:
Isaiah 55:8 -- My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts,” says the Lord. “And my ways are far beyond anything you20could imagine.

Isaiah 55:9 -- For just as the heavens are higher than the earth, so my ways are higher than your ways and my thoughts higher than your thoughts.

The best thing to do in any situation is to give it to God and let him take care of it. What we think and how we act will never compare to what our heavenly father can do. God is omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent... meaning HE is all powerful, all knowing, and present everywhere at the same time. Whatever the thought or action you wish to take, just give it to God and let him have the final say.

--------------------------------------------
On Age:
1 Timothy 4:12 -- Don’t let anyone think less of you because you are young. Be an example to all believers in what you say, in the way you live, in your love, your faith, and your purity.

I know you are probably thinking how the scripture relates to you but remember being young has nothing to do with age but maybe what this scripture is saying is..... Don't let anyone think less of you because you have the appearance, freshness, vigor, and youthful qualities. The youthful qualities you have are what make you different from anyone else.

In your youthful qualities you will find your gifts, talents, vocation, next business idea, and purpose in life. Embrace your inner youth, don't be afraid to let the world see your inner youth, and you might be surprised to see what door s get unlocked in your life. Don't bury your dreams and goals because you think you are too old or too young.. JUST DO IT

On running out of time:
Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 -- For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven. A time to be born and a time to die. A time to plant and a time to harvest. A time to kill and a time to heal. A time to tear down and a time to build up. A time to cry and a time to laugh. A time to grieve and a time to dance. A time to scatter stones and a time to gather stones. A time to embrace and a time to turn away. A time to search and a time to quit searching. A time to keep and a time to throw away. A time to tear and a time to mend. A time to be quiet and a time to speak. A time to love and a time to hate. A time for war and a time for peace.

After reading this text, even though it's hard for me to admit this, I am reminded that there is no such thing as i'm running out of time. When God is ordering your steps and working everything out according to his plan we should always remember that for everything there is a season and a time for every activity under heaven.

Our prayer concerning time should be that God give us PATIENCE.- Patience to endure hardships while experiencing uncomfortable seasons- Patience to wait on seasons that don't seem to want to end- Patience to have the willingness or ability to tolerate delay

** ** Most importantly, patience to wait on God's good and perfect will ** **

Remember to cast ALL your cares and anxious on him because he cares for you (1 peter 5:7
