A Slender Thread- LIFE

This book, A Slender Thread, really make me think about life.

All the sisters in this book aren’t content with their life. One wants a slower pace life, one wants love, one wants acceptance while the other two aren’t quite sure what they want. Their quests to find the meaning of their lives have caused me to think of my own.

Life has gone by so fast for me. I remember saying ‘Oh, when I get to high school I’m gonna be so grown up that I will do ____.’ Being in high school used to seem like a far way off but the freaky thing is that I AM in high school. The first 15 years of my life have flown by and I will never be able to get them back. When I think about, really think about it, it scares me. But it also causes me to wonder, ‘what am I doing with my life right now.’ So many days have passed by and all I have really done is gone to school, attended volleyball practice and completed my homework. And quite honestly, I think that is sad. I have so many dreams and ambitions for my life, yet I am still sitting on my butt not trying to make those come true. For example, some days all I do if surf the internet. What productive thing could have come out of that? I could be writing an encouraging email to a friend in need. I hate wasting a day on the computer, yet I do it so often. I guess the reason I hate it is because it uses up so much time of my life. My life is like a ticking bomb. I’m only going to live for x amount of years and then bam! my life is over. I just hope that I utilize my time wisely and live for God.
