"How much of human life is lost in waiting?"
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It's been a while since I have posted on my blog! I've been wild busy with University work, with my youth work, sometimes with watching too much football..! It's not long now until summer. Even sitting in lectures in University today, all I could think about is our last day before summer. I honestly can say that I can't wait. It seems that I'm really looking forward to lots lately...
Can't wait until 18th June - all my Uni work will be handed in. First year done!
Can't wait until 12th June - FIFA World Cup 2014 starts! 30 days of pure footy - 3 games a day!
Can't wait until 11th July - Leaving for Latvia for 2 weeks - Kids camp and community work!
These are just the main 3 right now... But there's lots that I'm looking forward to. What about you? What can you just not wait for?
But it's interesting... How often do we get excited about Jesus coming back? Are we eagerly looking forward to it? Or actually, can we wait?
‘Christ died once for all time as a sacrifice to take away the
sins of many people. He will come
again, not to deal with our sins, but to bring salvation to all who are eagerly waiting for
him.’
Hebrews 9 v 28
A lot of the time, we live our lives as if we had no knowledge of Jesus' return. He will be coming back, but we really don't make the most of our time here on the earth. Believer or not, many times we seem to just be going through the motions. Looking forward to the next highlight of our year to give us a break from the mundane nature of our everyday.
Make the most of your time that you've been given.
Get to know God - Make God known - Love others
"All things come to him who waits –
provided he knows what he is waiting for."
Woodrow T. Wilson
