There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven.
I struggle with this. I think I want the seasons to revolve around my time. I want things when I want them and thus lose the intended benefits of having a season. I think it is OK to look forward to the fall, for instance, but losing a summer because of waiting for football season, thats stupid.
CS Lewis wrote that the future is the biggest thing Satan can hinge our hopes on, instead of focusing on the present. The present is all that matters, it's all we can experience. The future can go in whatever direction God's path chooses. Look at the lightning strike, how much did that one instant affect everything else, for months on end?
I pray I enjoy each season for what it is. For the future, I hope I plan wisely, but then stay with that plan until something else comes up, rather than flood my mind with more and more thoughts and different strategies. This is a special time in my life, with Nick and Katie and everything else. I want to enjoy each minute.
