I have been on summer break for about a month. And when I drove out of the parking lot on the last day of school all that went through my head was "*sigh* now life can slow down and I'll be able to breathe." No such luck. I haven't written a song in over a month. I haven't played my guitar just for fun until yesterday. I haven't caught up with old friends like I thought I would be able to do. And as much as it kills me to say it, I haven't grown closer to God. I've actually grown farther away from Him. And even though time isn't the main component to that, it certainly plays a role.
I think humans have this need to be constantly moving. Like, if we don't move enough or fast enough we might miss out on something. Like, life is too short to slow down and enjoy anything. I agree wholeheartedly that life is indeed short. But sometimes it's for that very reason that we should slow down and watch life. I don't remember the last time I just looked at the stars. Ok, that's kind of impossible in the city. How about this: I don't remember the last time I watched the sun set. That is possible in the city. It doesn't require any sort of energy besides marveling at God's creation. I want to do that. I want to be able to just stop. Stop and see God at work in jut how He paints the sky for me.
So, that's my random thought. I haven't written for a while and I just really wanted to share my thoughts on this. Try to slow down, or even stop sometime in the next few days, look at God, and be like, "God, You are amazing. Thanks for being You." And then go about your busy day. It takes the edge of more than you'd think.
