Falling backwards and forwards

In high school I had a mad crush on a boy.  This boy wrote a work that was in the literary arts magazine I helped put together and one of the first lines was something like this:

"Do you ever feel like you are constantly falling backwards or forwards 4 years from where you are?"

For some reason that line stuck with me and sometimes when I am in a state of reflection I think of it.  I guess it's because it's truth.  It's hard to be in the place I am right now and I often think of things in the past that I miss or in the future that I yearn to come to be.

Hmmm....today, right where I am.  Right now.  Jesus, you want me right now, right where I am.

Jesus, you call me from the place I stand.  There is nothing that you don't permeate.  There is nothing beyond your Grace.
