“Remember, remember, this is now, and now, and now. Live it, feel it, cling to it. I want to become acutely aware of all I’ve taken for granted.” -Slyvia Plath
It's easy to get caught up in the future. Goals, planning, hopes and dreams. They're all wonderful and exciting, but sometimes I forget that the 'in between' , the seemingly empty spaces in life, are the spaces where God calls me to grow.
A dear friend told me; " Whatever the space is between you and where you want to be, fill that space with Jesus." God is not the one who is impatient. I always want to go to the next thing, that I forget to stop and enjoy the moment that I'm in. Despite the difficulties of these in between stages, there is beauty. There is beauty, comfort, and peace when I am leaning on Jesus.
Isaiah 51: "The Lord will surely comfort Zion and will look with compassion on all her ruins; he will make her deserts like Eden, her wastelands like the garden of the Lord. Joy and gladness will be found in her, thanksgiving and the sounds of singing."
