Waiting for my rocket to come

Time is something very funny to me.

It slips by so quickly yet so slowly.
Measurement
counting how much time remains
counting how much time has passed.

"There's never enough time"
"Time flies when you're having fun"
"Do you know what time it is?"

I have all the time in the world
Never enough to be where I want
Never enough to be what I want
Never enough to know what I want

impatiently waiting
busily passing

i don't want to be bound
i want to be free
i want to savor

Keep your eye on the prize

Acts 20: 17-24

17From Miletus, Paul sent to Ephesus for the elders of the church. 18When they arrived, he said to them: "You know how I lived the whole time I was with you, from the first day I came into the province of Asia. 19I served the Lord with great humility and with tears, although I was severely tested by the plots of the Jews. 20You know that I have not hesitated to preach anything that would be helpful to you but have taught you publicly and from house to house. 21I have declared to both Jews and Greeks that they must turn to God in repentance and have faith in our Lord Jesus.

22"And now, compelled by the Spirit, I am going to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there. 23I only know that in every city the Holy Spirit warns me that prison and hardships are facing me. 24However, I consider my life worth nothing to me, if only I may finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the gospel of God's grace.
