I recently discovered something I don't believe I've ever seen before...

Among the rooms in my world, there was a small window peering into another world.  Somehow, while walking through life, I consistently missed this window.  I had never noticed it before, perhaps something had previously been placed in front of it, I wasn't sure.  For whatever reason, I was always kept from looking towards it, and had never come close to looking through to the other side.

Upon discovering this window, I found I was quite captivated by this perspective of life that had previously been hidden from my eyes.  As I continued to come back to it, week after week, I noticed the window had begun to increase in size.  My thoughts turned to the window more and more until one day, I was thrilled to find that it was the right size to walk on through.  I was excited to walk on towards a new venture, and was on the very threshold of the former window, when I found myself blocked from taking a step further.  There was nowhere for me to go except back into my known world, which now seemed a very different place.  I walked away from the window, completely at a loss of what to do next.  I stayed away for a time, until I was compelled to return.  I found that the window had shrunk to the size of pinprick sized peephole.  I was devastated, yet there was nothing I could do to re-open the window.

I was at such a loss in the discovering of an entirely different world, only to have it shut from before my eyes.  I was unbelieving that such a thing could happen, until I discovered others with my same pain.  A world opened, then destroyed before their eyes.

Estoy triste y yo se por que pero no quiero saberlo.

"It was 20 minutes to base, and all he could grab were his fingers. 20 minutes hanging by his fingers. And he told him he would never let go. You'll never break that record.

"I'll never let go."
"I know"

"Greater love hath no man that he lay down his life for another."

No hay nada más importante en vida que una relación con el dio.

"Anyone who loves his father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves his son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me; and anyone who does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it." ~ Matthew 10:37

Look to the ant, you sluggard

What is it the ant does?

"It stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest."

God has granted me the oppurtunity and ability to work two jobs at present, and also provided a way of dealing with the money I earn in a good manner.  (It helps that my dad is a former financial planner, no? )  Not only has He provided exactly what I need at present (A good job with a salary that enables me to work less hours), but He has opened the doors for me to pursue other things as well.  (Free training to advance my knowledge for my current job)  In addition, God has granted me the oppurtunity to invest, what with compound interest, my money will grow and work for me, as my dad says.   In a way, it's similar to the ant, who puts away during the summer, and gathers at harvest (note not the winter )

I do believe I am in the summer of my life.
God is Good

Go to the ant, you sluggard;
consider its ways and be wise!

It has no commander,
no overseer or ruler,

yet it stores its provisions in summer
and gathers its food at harvest.
~Proverbs 6:6-8
