Here and Now

Some of you may know but I just returned from a 6 day trip to Ecuador for my best friends wedding. It was time full of celebration and excitement and adventure. A LOT of adventure. While I was there I was really able to live in the here and now of each moment. It hit me today that I really struggle with that. I know that I am not alone. I am always thinking about tomorrow, next week, a year from now.  There is so much in just today. So many ways to serve, so many ways to love on others, so many ways to love Jesus that if I am looking past today then I am going to miss it. I don't want to miss the lessons and opportunities in today.

So, this entry is short and sweet! As the time draws near for me to leave please be praying that I am diligent with my time in the here and now.
