Watching life go on...

Today one of my best guy friends (since 6th grade) called me to tell me that he proposed to his girlfriend on Kyle Field on the 50 yard line. It was so easy to be excited for him and to rejoice with him for all that the Lord has given him. It was just fun to catch up and to talk about all that has changed. We talked about a good friend of ours from high school that was in a diving accident about 2 weeks ago and is a quadriplegic. We discussed how we NEVER thought that would happen to people we know. Honestly, we just don't think about the bad things that can happen while we are on earth on a regular basis. I have begun to be a little more sensitive to that stuff since working in the hospital. Every disaster drill, code blue, and trauma code, my heart beats faster and I'm reminded of our precious lives. It makes living by the moment, in the moment, for the moment make a lot more sense. We are given Daily Bread, and we really only need that that will get us through the moments of one day. I once heard a good friend talk about Holy moments. Every moment has the potential of being holy. That's begun to be a little more real. From rejoicing over the engagement of a friend to hearing the code blue to watching the patient talent show on Friday, I am reminded of how holy, awesome and REAL the Lord is.

The thing is that life doesn't stop in those moments. It doesn't even really pause. The next moment can be just as holy bringing a totally different circumstance and situation. Life keeps going no matter what. So I could live in my own world and never experience the good, the bad, the hard, the easy times, but then I would never experience the holy moments. God is good, all the time...
