Alice in Wonderland

Do you ever ask, why is this happening is God testing us? If God is testing us all the time, seeing if we really have him in our hearts, then will we ever stop being Alice in Wonderland? Some might think so, some might not.

I really think that people have the misconception about age, we think that age defines if we are old or not. When you are 19 and someone is 30, you think that they are old, but not too old. We think that someone in their 70s is old, and 90s is just unthinkably old right? But once you start living the big moments in life, the ones you never know for sure if you are going to experience, but are always secretly hoping you will, like true love, marriage, kids, a house, career, will you ever get your big break, find your true happiness. The moment that you experience one of your big moments, your life starts living to the beat of a techno song. You enjoy it while you’re hearing it and seeing it, and then before you know it, the song is over, and there was just one second in between, and then the next song of a completely different genre starts playing. The song doesn’t stop, so it distracts you from hearing the beat of the last song. Age doesn’t define how old we are, what makes us seem so old so soon, is when we don’t realize that each moment in life has it’s song, and every song ends, but there is always another song… J. The point is, is that if you are thinking life’s moments are coming at you one after another and you are starting to think wait, stop, I wanna go back, just remember to pause the next song, not for long, just for a few seconds to remember the moment, the memory and to remember to enjoy the next one that is coming.

See, God really did know what he was doing when he created the earth, there is no way you can deny the freedom, the pause in your song when you are out in nature. When you are standing at the top of a mountain peak and you see a valley and some fog and clouds and birds soaring the tops, you can’t deny that when you see a rainbow, or the rolling waves of a blue blue ocean, that you don’t feel the pause from life, the reflection on how precious it is, how fast it will go, and how age can’t define us, but our moments can and if we don’t take a break, or a breath to enjoy this life, age gets the best of us. This life is just a test a much enjoyed and hated test, but the biggest test we will ever take.

So if your song played to fast, and by the time you reached for the pause button it was all done, find your resting place, find the place of peace, your mountain top, your roaring ocean, or rolling lake, go to it, take your life and the moments in, and then prepare yourself to teach others how to deal with their songs, and how to deal with the next song playing in your life.
