Was on the drive to work last week and I was
frustrated and worried about being there on time –and I wasn’t even at work
yet. That’s pretty bad when you’re stressed before the day has even begun. Then
I saw the city in the distance and almost like a voice the message came, “Look
at it. Isn’t it amazing.” And for the first time I started to fathom the SIZE
of these giant buildings I was weaving through. I started to note their heights
and it was like being at the base of a giant redwood.
Then I passed by a building I’d never noticed but drove
by every day and was amazed how beautiful it was. I was genuinely taken by the
way the light hit off its windows and the architecture of it.
And then again on the way home in what I knew would
inevitably be 1 hour of traffic: “Hey, what would you do if this was all a
dream? If the weight of this was lifted?”
God pulls you out of the sinking of a moment and
stands you on the water. This life has never been what it seems. There is
always MORE beyond it.
Going to be late to work today. Was 15 minutes early
yesterday but then out of nowhere today decided to be traffic lined up into
oblivion. It took me 10 minutes to drive 300 feet.
“Take it EASY. Why are you in such a hurry to rush
through this life? Breathe. Take the time to take time.”
God has to remind adults that all we really are is
children who’ve forgotten how to play. How to see life. How to take life in and
enjoy it.
We were meant to enjoy the ride. We weren’t meant to
resent the drive through.
