Now IS my time

So often in life people spend so much time looking at what other people have and what they are doing with their lives and wish it were them these events were happening to. I write this because I am one of these people. More so in the past then now, but nevertheless, it continues to come up.

When I was witness to weddings I wished it were me. When I hear of a pregnancy and a new baby, I long for when that will be my news and my baby. I spend time thinking of what it will be like. Then it hit me. Maybe today is my last day. Maybe these things never will happen.

I was walking home from work a few days ago and I was (and am and have been) very content with the way God has blessed me. Then the line hit me. Now Is My Time! One day, God willing,I will be married and have babies and be in that part of life but what I am living right now is so superb as well. I look into the face of my beloved Dave and I am joyful and happy that I am where I am right now. I wouldn't change it because now is now. Engagement will be whenever it is and then marriage. And when that time comes, it will be now.

So, it is what we are told in the Bible. Live in today and the now. Don't be thinking about the past and worrying about the future. God has what we need for us right now and when the time comes for the other things He will always have what we need, and He'll be with us then too.
