Happy “Back to the Future” day. Today is the day, October
21, 2015, that took place in the future of the movie Back To The Future. The
future – now – doesn’t look like it was portrayed in the movie. Hoverboards?
Time travel? It didn’t happen that way. And some of the clothing….well, I’m
glad it didn’t make a fashion statement for today.
As a child or a teenager, did you have expectations of what
the future held? Goals? Dreams? I’m sure most of us did. Even at my age, I
still have hopes and dreams for my future. Hoverboards….naw, I don’t think I
care, or I’d even be interested in a hoverboard. When I was younger, maybe.
Imagine a great-grandmother with a look of sheer terror on her face, riding a
hoverboard and praying out loud, interspersed with squeals of fear, while she
tries to remain an upright position. Yeah, that would be me.
What makes our dreams and goals a reality? Well, hard work
and perseverance, for sure. It would be interesting to see into the future. Or
not. It might be frightening.
I don’t know what my future holds – it won’t include
hoverboards for me – but I know who holds my future. I don’t just who it is, I
know him personally. It has been the single, most defining event in my life,
when I, as a fourteen-year-old girl, knelt at an altar and asked Jesus to be
Lord of my life. He has never failed me or let me down.
When I was younger and more immature in my relationship with
Jesus, I thought he let me down plenty of times. But looking back, Jesus always
had what was best for me in mind, although I didn’t always do what was best for
me.
Marty McFly and Doc, you can have your hoverboards and
DeLoreans. I have Jesus, and he is more than enough.
