Friday Nights

It has occurred to me that life is FAST. Perhaps it is because I am fast approaching 34! My mid-30s...it really does sound horrific to me. Vanity some might say, or regret, or discontentment. The truth is all these may have some truth to them. A lot of my friends are having babies now, and I would love to have a family. But my station in life seems so far from that right now. It is Friday night and I am sitting in the home I rent with my two roommates. I don't like to do much on Friday nights but hybrinate at home. Not such an exciting life, but a good one all the same. And where are my eyes right now? On ME. But I have a Savior and Lord who calls me to fix my eyes on Him! What a sweet escape from self-pity and narcissistic tendencies and melancholy Fridays. The Lord is my joy, my strength, my peace. Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life. He is my Life and I desire to serve Him with all of my life. Scripture tells us that "whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will save it" (Luke 9:24). It does not matter how fast this life is going or how old I am getting, what matters most is that I am following Christ and being transformed more into His image!!! One day soon I will be home!
