Tick, tock, tick, tock.

It is with great regret that i realise that i only have roughly 5 weeks left to enjoy this gorgeous summer weather and all the perks it brings with it. This summer flew by. Not just this summer; i still remember orientation day and applying for Junior College; the hard work that brought the new scholastic year; Christmas, New Year, you Can fit in my birthday here, Easter, and exams. There, the main events of the year and i can practically remember every little detail.

Tick, tock, tick, tock.

From the very moment we're born, our life becomes an hourglass turned upside down, with an unknown number of grains of sand. With every passing moment, more grains of sand trickle down to the bottom. And you cannot calculate how many more moments you might have; you cannot calculate how much grains of sand you have left.

Tick, tock, tick, tock.

If you get caught up in this life, your life becomes nothing but a race against time, literally. Which is why we might stop for a moment and realise that we just watched our life pass by without even participating in it. And to confuse you even more I'm going to give an example of what I mean: you're by the roadside and you realise that a car is coming but it just passes you by. That car is your life. It must really suck if you realise this; which is why sometimes we must pause take a deep breathe, check our surroundings then bury our noses back into work.

Tick, tock, tick, tock.

Just last week I had one of those deep breathes, and boy what a deep breathe it was! It lasted about a week. It goes by the name of Soul Survivor. It helped me realise most of all that life isn't a race against time but a challenge we must face and win only with the help of Jesus Christ. It helped me realise God's love for me, and how He'd never leave me alone. It helped me find my missing best friend, Jesus, and for that I am thankful. I feel like I was a car with no petrol trying to go on, and after Soul Survivor I was re-fueled and I took the petrol tank with me. Now how great is that??

Tick, tock, tick, tock.

Now I feel like that I can take any challenges that come my way..though I am probably feeling this because I'm not thinking of the problems I have to deal with. But I know that Jesus will be with me and that alone brightens my day. I am ready for the grains of sand to continue falling now since I know that it doesn't matter how much time I have left, but it's what I do with it, and I want to worship God as much as I can because His love has freed me.

What are you going to do with the time you have left?
