I just collided full tilt with a race car. Here I am riding along through life on my wonderful cruiser with curved handlebars, a comfy seat, and balloon tires. I'm enjoying the sun, the birds, the breeze washing over my face... and CRASH!! Along comes this car, decked out its with leather heated seats, beautiful shiny crome wheels, and the sunroof wide open. Equally enjoying life, this car moves through the fast paced, high-class world of drama and intrigue. The sun, the wind are enjoyed here as well, but differently. And CRASH!! This race car all of a sudden finds itself face to face with my slow-going simple cruiser. The driver remains unnamed.
Before I push this metaphor beyond its sensible bounds, my point should be clear. Too seemingly different worlds... all too similar in too many ways. One trying to slow down, the other trying to pick up steam. Who will take the biggest toll? That's my question. Who will step out and give the other a ride. There's plenty of room on my bike for two, right their on the handlebars. But is that car made for two? Does that race way allow for slower vehicles? Reality sets in for both drivers. There may be more to life than what we're used to... there may be something hidden behind our dreams that we never could have anticipated.
She's got ink on her favorite cashmere and has had to wear plastic. Can we please go back to the cashmere...? Or do I have to get used to this plastic for a while?

I know the speed and timing with the one who is gone.
And I know the present speed, but not the timing, with the one I cannot have.
And I definitely do not know the speed and timing for one right now, because there is not one.
But I do know that God is God.
So, I focus on Christ and continue my obedience to His cadence and will.
I sure hope I'm ready for either the one I cannot have, or one that God brings into my life. I'm hoping that as I'm walking with God, that I/we realize we've been walking alongside one another for a long time, and are very comfortable with one another through Him,
....... and two-gether.
Your wisdom through your journey is so meaningful to me. I am so glad for what God has been doing in your life of late, but only so much can be said over xanga, can it not? I wish we could talk more on these things. I suppose there is always IM...
