God moves slowly Time moves fast

I have been contemplating the fact that God truly is moving in my life in many ways. I am not the same man that I was just 4 or 5 years ago. I have been changed in ways that I can't even begin to imagine. I see the movement yet at the same time it moves so slowly that I can't see it at all as it is happening.

On the other hand time is zooming by. It seems to get faster every day. I'm sure I'll wake up tomorrow and be 90. While at the same time it feels like just yesterday I was 20. Now my children are all over 20 and I've got a grand son who is 16.

I'm not sure what any of this means except that I'm greatful that growing up is handled by God in his timing and not me in my timing. He moves in small incremental steps toward his goal and each and every step to him is sure and solid. He is building me into a structure that will last for all of time (or all of eternity for those who believe time will cease).

I often get impatient with that. What's new right? I have to continually remind myself that things are happening, change is occuring and it is postive wonderful change. And I also have to remind myself that I was created for such a TIME as this.

Here is where I am meant to be right now; Doing what I am doing. One step at a time.
