I came across this picture today while I was looking for a new background for my computer, and when I saw it, I immediately set it as my background. As I closed iPhoto, I began to actually look at the picture that I had taken over a year ago, and the following is what came to my mind.
The focus of the picture is on the tree, and the blurry brown in front is the fence that did not focus because we were driving at top Brazilian speed, which is way faster than most Americans drive. I really like this. It made me think of how life is sometimes. How we can be going so fast trying to get a good look at everything, that we generally miss the neat stuff that is there for us to see. It's kind of where I am in life right now. I'm so sick of school. I really just don't enjoy school at all. I would have liked to have been done about a week ago.
God used this picture to remind me to slow down and be where I am. Yes, be looking at the big picture, but don't miss the details. The details and the little things in life are important. And yes I am well aware that the previous sentence is entirely a cliche, but it's true. I have got to slow down. I think I'm so busy trying to get somewhere that I could very possibly be missing what God has for me here and now.
If we are so busy trying to get through life we won't ever really enjoy life.
