We walk

I believe I've actually organized my thoughts enough to post something! Lately I've been thinking about so many things, but I feel like everything is too private to post publicly. I came to a realization today, though, about a verse that I've been familiar with for a long time and have never put much thought into.

For we walk by faith, not by sight.
2 Corinthians 5:7

This verse is stenciled up on the wall at the youth center in my town. I was there tonight, just reading the walls (kids can sign their name and write something) and my eyes happened to land on that verse. I've seen it countless times, but never really read it. Today I thought about it...not the difference of faith and sight, but the first part of the verse. We walk.

It doesn't say "We run." It says we walk. And it's very true. Right now, it seems as if time is at a standstill. Although I believe I am trusting with faith, not by sight, I feel like I want the future to hurry up and get here so my anxious anticipation will be stilled. It seems like it is killing me not knowing who I will marry, or if I will at all. I need to know whether I'll like teaching, whether I'll be good at it, where I'll end up. Why is that? Why can't I be happy with the present? I am walking by faith, but wanting to run. 


However, running blindly is not such a good idea! That is why we walk...we take one day at a time, trusting Jesus, and are able to have the knowledge that He has wonderful plans for us...whatever they are.
