I love sunsets... they remind me of the times in life where you can just sit back and relax and think and enjoy where you're at for a moment. Then, everything starts up again the next day, life speeding down a road that you've never traveled before.
I know everyone has those moments in their life where big changes are coming. I guess It doesn't really happen when you're really little, or maybe it does and you just don't notice it. Then as you get older, you start to realize the big changes more and more. Like going to high school, getting your license, getting a car, graduating, going to college, moving out, getting married, having kids, then I guess the big changes stop for a while until your kids start going through the big changes. I know this analogy, life is a river and it's taking us somewhere, it starts out a slow steady stream, as you grow it gets faster and faster, soon we come to this place where it's rapids and you're speeding down this river that you've chosen, in a direction, not really knowing what's coming next, just trying to brace yourself for the next part. I think those rapids are when you're hitting all those different moments in life where it's changing drastically and where your decisions definitely change where the river takes you.
I'm not too sure I like this part of life very much. And then, at times it's thrilling to not know what's coming next. Maybe it just takes some getting used to. I'll catch on, and hopefully just go with the flow and enjoy the ride while i'm learning the ropes and choosing my direction.
"Life is a dance toward God, I begin to think. And the dance is not so graceful as we might want. While we glide and swing our practiced sway, God crowds our feet, bumps our toes, and scuffs our shoes. So we learn to dance with the One who made us. And it is a difficult dance to learn, because its steps are foreign." - Don Miller
