School bells ringing, kids playing on the playground, enjoying the games of tag...
Had my last first day of school two days ago. Kind of crazy how time flies right by and then you look back and say the ever so famous line... "Where did the time go?" Days turned into months, months turned into years, and then by the time you know it you are walking to get that simple 8x11 piece of paper signed by some important people saying you are finished. But are we ever really finished? In John 19:30, it is written, "When he had received the drink, Jesus said, "It is finished." With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit." Now that is a true finished moment, but is it really? I really feel like when Jesus said 'It is finished', he truly was beginning something in history that would be the basis of everything that ever begins and ends.
I will continue to walk up to the little carriage house and try to swallow as much knowledge as possible, but when does this time of learning and educating become complete? Never. Everyday is a continuing motion of learning and growing... making memories and enjoying the games of tag.
...so, I had my last first day to another chapter of my life. These times will be different. There will be different feelings of emotions and moment by moment recognitions of God's faithfulness (Now that's amazing!).
How will you choose to walk in His faithfulness, grace, and mercy? It's your choice. Choose wisely.
