It’s Coming!

Some of you may remember from my previous “Truth’s of the Jumbo” blog the meaning of a Jumbo Run. For those of you who forgot, a Jumbo Run is the term used for the rushed transportation to the Jumbo in order to prevent premature arrival. Yesterday, I witnessed this race.

As I was standing in the girls hut, along with numerous other females, Ryan Bodine ran past our window in the general direction of the Jumbo. His intentions could have been misinterpreted if it were not for the phrase that he yelled as he ran by, “IT’S COMING!” I’m not sure weather Ryan could hear the thunderous laughing that followed, but the girls in the hut were hysterical.

Now, every time I walk by that window I think of Ryan’s cry, “IT’S COMING!” It makes me think of what other things are coming in my own life. My first thought is of the day that I will have say goodbye to the people I love here and leave Swaziland. With only four weeks left our time here seems to be ending too soon. I already dread having to say goodbye to the ministries that we do here. I do my best to live every day that we have left to the fullest.

Just as our days of ministry in Swaziland are numbered, our days to serve the Lord on this earth are numbered. In comparison to the eternity that we will spend with the Lord in Heaven, the time we have left to serve Him is less than a blink of an eye. God has been reminding me how important it is for us to remember the limitedness of our time and to make the most of every day for Him.
