As the first six months of the year are wrap up, I can’t believe how fast time is moving. I feel that there’s so much to do—and not enough time. I need to do some reflection and prepare for the coming month. But I want to challenge myself. And I think the first challenge is it reconsider how I think about time.
God has given us enough time to do what we are supposed to do. We waste time, even though we’re aware of its finiteness. So, yes, I’ve been given enough time to fulfill my purpose on earth -- and I will fulfill it.
Still, I’ve felt that I haven’t done anything that garners transformation or a sense of purpose. I’ve been lamenting my routine and my predictable days. But you know what? I’m on the right track. Certainly, I’ve hit a few bumps in the road, but it has been fruitful --- and I’m grateful.
I’d like for the second half of the year to feel like jumping off a plane at 30k feet without a parachute, being fully convinced I’ll land safely. Is that crazy?
Lately, videos of people who are into extreme sports --- adrenaline junkies bungee jumping from insane heights, skydiving, swimming with sharks came on my feed. And I wonder: do they fear anything? Either way, they’ve inspired me to challenge myself anew.
So, cheers to boldness in the seventh month. Cheers to more freedom. Cheers to moving forward. Cheers to taking steps to create the life that we want. Cheers to being joyful, and bold and throwing caution to the wind, trusting that God will help us land where we’re supposed to, safely.
