It’s pretty crazy to think that when I board this plane at 11:30pm on Tuesday night, I will be getting off of it on Thursday morning at 5:00am. Ten hours of flying, the world continues to turn and I lose a whole day. Not that it was wasted because flying all day to see and experience one of the most beautiful places on the earth is quite worth it.
But how many days do we say goodbye before it even gets here? We live normal, monotonous and safe lives. Might as well be sitting in a plane for hours but to what end? Working 8-12 hours a day without a real sense of purpose or accomplishment. Going through the motions of “doing” school, church and recreation while coasting in relationships that have no depth, trust or genuineness. Taking a leap of faith is not knowing what’s in front but having the security to know where your next step will be.
Jesus said that He came so that we could have life more abundantly (John 10:10). I think he is talking more than just eternal life but having a full, unapologetic, carpe diem life now, while we are still living life on this planet.
So how will you live your life? Goodbye tomorrow or hello today?
