Life isn't a race. Sometimes we need to stop running to keep up and start walking so we can look around.
Today, we walked. The college life is great. The college town atmosphere is fun. But the speed at which most live their lives here is way too fast. Everyone is on a sprint to the next thing. The next party. The next relationship. The next seat on SGA. The next position in the sorority. Always onto the next.
And it's great. We are only young once, so why not live it up? Right?! Well no matter the answer, I can't function like that for long. I have to take a step back and remind myself there is a huge world outside this place. An imperfect world created by a perfect Creator just waiting to be discovered. So today, along with two friends, I discovered another piece of His impeccable creation. And like always, it slowed me down and put things into perspective.
Life is not a race. So what if you make it to the end first... no one will be their to congratulate you. So STOP! and walk. Look around. Live in the moment. And maybe thank the Lord for allowing you to wake up and allowing you to spend it with those you love.
