Time in a bottle

Lately I wondered about how it sometimes seems that we live in our own little world. We hear about other places, other people but with so much information being thrown at us in all different directions it's hard to make sense of it all. Maybe it's the feeling of being saturated with so much information that makes me think about sealing myself away. Yet, spending time in a bottle wouldn't allow me to grow. Instead it would be like I've been sealed away only to be thrown for a loop when the world comes crashing in.

How do we find a balance? I've been trying to wade my way through the morass that constitutes this crazy world we live in. I'm grateful that God is faithful. He sees my struggle and wants me to grow in him. It is scary to be dependent, yet it is the only way to be. I know that sounds like a paradox. God wants us to grow, yet he also wants us to be dependent on him.

What does this have to do with time? You may recall that my first blog focused on this, and that in every blog since I've tried to mention time. I believe that God works in time, and that his timing is perfect. I also believe that we can find that balance and stability that we long for every day. We don't have to long for those alternate realities.
