It happens in a blink...

That was one of many songs I was blessed to hear at Rock the Desert this week. And that's been a phrase that has summed up my life recently. Things have been going busily and rapidly. And it feels like a blink. But, in the grand scheme of things, isn't that our life? Just a blink, something that is here and then goes away just as quickly as it appeared? But what do we do in that blink? The chorus of the song is:
It happens in a blink, it happens in a flash
It happens in the time it takes to look back
I try to hold on tight, but there's no stopping time:
What is it I've done with my life?

This song has significance to me because not only does it remind me to focus on what is important, it is the first song on the radio that my 2 year old, Ella, sang along to. Yeah, it was just the word "blink", at the right time, but I believe that's God's reminder to me that as a parent, the answer to the question "what is it I've done with my life?" is just that. To be pouring into my daughters. Teaching them to be godly women and encouraging them to look at themselves how God sees them, not how the world sees them.

That is why the band Superchick took on more meaning to me when I heard them. Yeah, they have great, fun, wonderful music. But, I'm responsible for being an encouragement to 3 females in my life. So, I have be about encouraging them to look in God's mirror, not theirs.
