Aka: Commute Musings
This evening as I was driving home, it was all I wanted to do to just get there. Make straight that road! clear the way! (#advent) But it seemed like every stop sign I came to had me waiting an eternity as cars zipped past and I strained eagerly for the next gap into which I could quickly insert myself. Maybe I'm just impatient.... maybe it's just my small town heritage coming out...but maybe there's something to this. Like, where are all of these people going?! This isn't the first time in the last few weeks that I've been hit over the head with the overwhelming reality of how many people there are in this world. I walk on campus and there are hundreds of people walking, driving, sitting, reading, skateboarding, tabling, running. People. I drive down my street which has taken on the flavor of the Red Sea with all of its cars lining its curbs bumper to bumper. There's a person for each of those cars!! Where are they? WHO are they? What are they doing? Why are they here? Have you ever just stopped to think about how each of the tons of people you see each day are actually people with real lives? That God created them too? Unlike my drive home, I don't really know where I'm going with this. I guess I'm just feeling a little small...a little overwhelmed. I'm just a girl. Living my little life. Writing my little blog. Dealing with my little day. Loving such a little portion of all those people out there and begging the question: what else is a girl to do? I don't know, but I do know they always say, " it's the little things that make a big difference..." and I think they're right. It's hard, but it's okay to know my littleness. Actually, it's more than okay. It's good. It's the little things that count. The little things that make up all the big things. Without all of the little people, we would have no city. Without little days, we would not have much of a life. Without a little yes, without a little baby human we would have no salvation. Yeah, I went there.
