I've been thinking about time. (And yes, this post is inspired by Jeremy Camp's song Keep Me in the Moment). As a high school senior preparing to make the jump to college in the fall, I can't help but feel the weight of just how young and inexperienced I am. I feel that time is …

Have you ever felt behind in life? Like everyone else is going places, but you're stuck running on the treadmill? I've been there before too.

I put some worship music on my headphones, and one song really caught my attention and got me thinking; it's called See a Victory (originally by Elevation Worship, but covered by Caleb & Kelsey).
