Milestones

I have been thinking a lot lately about the milestones in our lives that we put our hope in. What we're going to do with our lives, where we're going to do it, who we're going to do it with. So often we, at least i do, put hope in these things and promise to make more time for the Lord once these things are settled.

When i finally start my job, my routine will be more normal. I'll make time for the Lord then.
Once I move, I'll finally be settled and will find a church that actually feeds me and gives me fellowship.
When I meet the right person, I'll know what your love is really supposed to look like and will be able to show it to others.

Why don't our hearts think, "my hope is in you. if that means i sit in a box doing nothing in the middle of nowhere with no one and all i have is you, that's enough. sitting in a box alone, praising and worshipping you is enough."

why do we count on plans and hopes instead of living in what he has granted us today in the here and now? i long for the day when i will stop planning for the next stop to arrive. when i will stop searching my bags for a map and instead press my face eagerly against the window awaiting the scenery he has planted for me to enjoy while i ride.
