Life goes on

Have you ever noticed how quickly and torrid a pace that life seems to be taking? Perhaps it is a time where things seem to be calm and serene, and one is able to catch their breath before diving in headfirst again. However, much of this time in my life is spent trying to catch my breath, to take one last glance before everything slips away. Funerals, weddings, graduations, moving; it is a never-ending cycle of a fast track called life. And we are all simply along for the ride. Nevertheless, the good thing I have noticed is that the driver is an incredible friend, one who is willing to die for you at any cost. Because He did. And even though the way He is choosing to drive and the path He is diverging on seems like such absolute insanity, He is always in complete control. And even though the way is narrow, He chooses to swerve left and right, not to take the lead, but to lead you to something greater. And you won't finish first either, oh no, you will finish last. But when you finally cross the finish line and enter the gates, His gates, the reward and crowning prize is eternal victory. Amen.
