I often doubt that the speed of light is faster than the speed of life. Have you ever noticed how quickly life changes?! Granted, there are the moments when life slows wayyyyy down. My two closest friends have been experiencing that - one is waiting for her husband to come home from deployment; waiting for information on when his deployment will end. The other is waiting for her first child to decide he or she is cooked enough and ready to come out and greet the world.
Yes, we all have our moments of waiting. But then there are the moments when we simply wish life would slow down a little so we can have time to catch our breath!
I have been in the latter camp for the past month.
Four weeks ago, I began dating a guy I have been interested in for about 7 months. Moving from "interested" to "boyfriend" happened SO quickly and I feel I am just now beginning to catch my breath.
Two weeks ago, I was informed that tuition would be increasing significantly next year. Suddenly, I am faced with multiple decisions about school - how do I finish without a huge loan? All at once, I find my plans changing significantly and I am now anticipating graduating next year.
Sometimes life moves quickly; sometimes changes come suddenly and take us by surprise. I'm just glad God gives me the strength to hang on!
