Time passes by

It's crazy. Time that is. Sometimes you just get stuck in the routine of work/sleep (or no sleep in my case) and then you forget to look at your calendar for a while. Or you look but you don't really notice. Every day on the notebook seems to be filled with things that you care or don't really care about. The week comes and goes, fridays, saturdays and then Sunday. And then it's November. Forget about waking up when September ends, where did my october go?

I need a fresh perspective. Something new to look forward to. Sometimes shopping does that for me. It's so easy, especially online shopping. You look through the catalogs, all excited, thinking that whatever is on screen will make you a happy man. If only you could have it now. Then when it arrives, something seems to be missing. The happiness isn't as real as you imagined it to be. Your room is filled, but you are empty. Right now, my room is empty too.

Romans 5:3
"...glory in tribulations knowing that tribulation produces perseverance, perseverance character and character hope. Now hope does not disappoint because the love of God has been poured out into our hearts by the holy spirit."

God is so real in my life. How else could I have survived until now without him? His word gives me hope and peace, he brings life to dark days. In and of myself I am nothing. In him, I can do all things. I really feel very blessed.

And then I wish I was so much more. All in due time.
