Who hit the Fast-Forward Button?

Right now I'm reminded of how short and fragile life is.

It JUST struck me this week. Right now as I type this I am in the Queen Elizabeth II Library on the 2nd floor, just looking out the window watching the clouds move and the cars speed by. It actually looks like someone pushed the fast-forward button on life. The wind is blowing so fast that the clouds are zooming past and staring out onto a road with a speed limit of 70km/h, it looked like the cars are going abnormally fast.

Life is a breath. In, and then its over. I'm a naive 19 year old, and I guess I thought I would never be done school, and that I'd be a kid forever. My birthday is in 2 weeks. Okay... for all you guys who are older than 20 I'm sorry. But I feel like as soon as I hit 20 life must change. I'll have to have my career decided, I'll have to move out and start my life on my own. I won't be able to live and depend on my parents, drive their car and eat their food. I feel like I will have to know all about politics and taxes and mortgages. I mean I'm obviously getting closer to that stage, but people hit it at different times. For me, I need to focus on this degree, and what to do after... for myself. For people like Jon and Seritha: they're ready for all the things I'm not. And they're going to be awesome at it. I am so happy for them words cannot express. I guess the happenings of this week kind of made me think of all these things. Made me want what God isn't ready for me to dive into yet. Meeting the guy of my dreams and settling down with him will happen, but I should be excited for what God is going to do in my life now!

Life goes fast. That is no shocker. So even if I'm not going to be a teenager anymore, and even though my friends are getting married, God will show me where to go and give me hope for tomorrow. He knows best, and he meant life to fly by. But life with him will be everlasting. I'll look back on this life praising Him for providing me with what was the best.
