How Time Flies

I am reminded of a saying by a pastor on a podcast — what he said was something like this: “People being surprised at how quickly someone is growing up is like a fish always being surprised at how wet water is.” Then he went on to say that the only way that would make sense is if the fish were one day destined to not live in the water anymore.

In other words, being surprised at how fast time flys by is evidence that we were meant to live for an eternity, not for this temporal existence. Or at least I think it went something along those lines. In Biblical terms: “…[God] has also set eternity in their heart…” — Ecclesiastes 3:11

Lately, I have been thinking about how time has been “flying by” and how quickly I have come to this point in my life. In the time since my last post I have taught a Bible study (don’t ask, it didn’t go exactly well, but better than I thought it would so… there’s that), rethought that ministry that I am kinda-sorta leading, and… well, I am sure there is more, but I cannot think of anything right now.

God has provided yet again, I was getting low on funds and he has provided me with another contract opportunity. Still nothing full-time, but I get the feeling I am where He wants me. As uncomfortable as it is.
