Stop This Train

I realized today how fast time is going. We are almost to Thanksgiving break and then after a blink of an eye it'll be Christmas break and then before we know it our first year of college will be over. It is so crazy to think that this time last year I was just getting my acceptance letter to Gordon College. I cannot believe I am sitting in Chester's right now, having gone here for almost three months. It just blows my mind. I just wish I could slow everything down for awhile. Why is it that we sometimes want everything to go so fast? We always look ahead and wish that we were there. When you are running a race you just want to get to the finish line, but what about all the growth that happens while you are running? Why can't we just be happy during the race and realize that we need all of this growth so that when we do finally get to the finish line we will truly be able to enjoy it. If you just skip everything, then getting to the finish line wouldn't mean anything. So I guess I would just say enjoy the race as dumb as that is to say. Ugh...I just wish I could stop everything just for today...
