I was struck today by the transient nature of life (ie, my life now :). This feeling was probably triggered by a mix of looking through old photos and the start of this year's Operation Catapult summer camp - the camp I went to just one short year ago. And yet, so much has happened in that short year; relationships started and closed, hellos and goodbyes - perhaps most of all, struggling to find a link between what was and is ending, and what is beginning. I am starting to realize that life doesn't stay comfortably put; it marches forward at a breathtaking pace. This is saddening, frightening and exciting. I pray for the grace to trust God.
"Well I don't know, if you can see
The changes that have come over me.
These last few years, I've been afraid
That I might drift away.
"I've been telling old stories, singing old songs
That make me think about where I came from.
And that's the reason why I seem
So far away today"
-Robbie
This picture, and your writing too a little bit, make me sad.
