Moments that take our breath away.
Moments that change and mold us.
Moments we wish we could forget.
Moments we hope to hold onto forever.
And yet, we take these moments...all of our moments...for granted, all the time. We think we have so much time to do this or that...we always think we have a tomorrow...and we never realize, until it's too late, how important it is to appreciate what we have in our lives.
I've been struggling a lot this week with different moments...what they mean, what they could mean, and what I'm going to do in response to them.
I'm in a hard place...and I don't really know what tomorrow is going to look like.
Someone very dear to me is losing the reality of her moments. The moments she thinks she's living in are very different than the moments she's actually living in...and it breaks my heart. And, the hardest part about it is that she doesn't even know what's going on. She thinks we are all crazy and making things up...and it's just so sad.
It's been making me realize how very important my moments are...and how I should value them, not take them for granted.
As we are almost done going through Crazy Love in our Wednesday night Bible study, I'm reminded of a story Francis Chan tells about his mother's grandma...who did not want Jesus to find her in a theater if He were to come back in that moment.
With that story...and the reality I'm living in with this very dear person...I want to make my moments count. I want the things I choose to spend my time doing to be important things, things that matter, things that will bring glory to God.
That is what is on my heart.

Love this post, friend! That thought from Francis Chan really makes me think about how I'm spending every moment and what I want to be doing when Jesus returns.
What's going on with blogger tonight? It won't let me leave comments! ughhhhhh! Anyway, I am sorry to hear that someone you love is having mind problems. I am going through the same thing with a good older friend of mine. I'll remember you in my prayers when I think of her.
I've heard Crazy Love is great.
wow, what a true post. I'm sorry to hear that someone you know is going through a hard time. All my best to them. It is a good reminder to enjoy all our precious moments with our loved ones.
I'm sorry you find yourself in such a challenging time, Friend. Thank you for the insight, and for being such a great example of a godly woman in trial :)
