I have been thinking a lot the past couple of weeks about how tiny I am in comparison to the God of the Universe. I don't know if you know who Francis Chan is, but a friend of mine suggested that I take a look at this video and take a look at how incredible small we all are on this huge place that we like to call Earth. Now, as I drive from Highland Village to Carrollton, it takes me approximately 20-30 minutes depending on how many people decided to get onto I-35 at the same time I did. What blows my mind, is that I think back to all the family vacations I took as a kid and remember how I complained that we were in the car all day. Now we didn't take your normal four to five hour drive up to Oklahoma. We had a trailer and we towed that beast down the road with a suburban. We were that family. We drove from Arlington, TX to Arlington, VA one summer. We have driven from Arlington, TX to Fresno, CA. Wyoming. Niagra Falls, Florida. All in the 'burban. Hours upon hours of driving, and we didn't even make it out of the country. So I think about this and I'm in awe at how big our God is. I think about this and I start to think that maybe I'm not that important at all. Maybe James is right and my life really is a vapor. What am I spending my time doing? What am I worrying about? Why do I continue to dwell on things that don't really matter in the grand scheme of things? I'm just throwing questions out there. Maybe I need to spend less time worrying about trivial temporal things of life and start investing in eternity. It kind of felt weird to type that. But how often do I catch myself so worried and stressed out about what my life is going to look like in ten years? Plan for the future, YES! Let it own how I live today, absolutely not.
