Life is moving to fast!

James 4:8- "Draw near to God and He will Draw near to you."



WOW! It is hard to believe I havn't written on this blog for over a year! Where has the time gone? Does anyone else since that time is moving way to fast these days?



Alot has happened in this last year...friends have passed away, loved ones have moved on to other lives in different places, I have grown a year older ( don't laugh, so have you!). And still I feel like things are moving to fast for me. I remember when I was a child and could not wait for summer break to begin...it seemed like the school year lasted FOREVER! And then summer break was over before I got a chance to do all the things I wanted to do! So I guess this restlessness is part of life.



If it is a part of life to have this restless feeling what is the purpose of it? Could it be that we are restless because we KNOW that there is more to look forward to and that we are anticipating the time when time will hold not meaning? When eternity will be in the presence of the One and Only Person who has ever loved us fully? This is the kind of anticipation a Bride has before her wedding...uh. WE are called the Bride of Christ for a reason and maybe He is responsible for placing this restless feeling inside of each of us. The problem would seem to be that we all reach out to other means to fulfill this restlessness.



So today, I will try to focus on reaching out, drawing closer to my BrideGroom...and maybe some of this reslessness will subside for a time. But I don't want to push it away or replace the One I am restless for.



Dear Lord, Help me draw into You today. To find that place of sweet release in Your presence so that I can go forward in this world and accomplish what you would have me accomplish. Help me not give into the reslessness of my heart except in keeping my heart focused on You.
