Life begins now.
There is no meantime.
I used to find myself saying meaningless phrases such as "...in the meantime" as well as counting down the days, hours, minutes until [fill in the blank].
Seriously. I started counting down the days til my 16th birthday when the number was 180.
Until this year, I've always known how many days were left in the school year.
In China (the 5 month time), I knew exactly how long I'd been there
and exactly how long til I went home.
Life is not prison.
God didn't place you where you are for no reason, so you could only look forward to something else IN THE MEANTIME.
The last year of my life has been hard. I've been in a place (literally) that wasn't necessarily my first choice, but it was safe and comfortable and easy.
I've looked back with longing and looked forward with impatience.
Now, I'm standing still. I'm finding that place in my life of absolute satisfaction. I'm looking back with joy and forward with joy and here and now and everything in between with joy.
Life is captivating. Life is beautiful. Life begins now.
