Have you ever wanted to learn something so badly, you had a hard time setting aside the desire? I want to learn to paint clouds. This has been a desire since I was in high school. I’m well beyond high school *ahem*, but I still harbor the desire, and every time I look at fluffy clouds, storm clouds, wisps of clouds, I think, “I will learn to paint you someday.” My desire to paint clouds might be fulfilled someday, but even if that accomplishment gives me great pleasure, it won’t affect me into eternity. The only “learning” that will impact eternity is learning to faithfully follow God. In Him we find life. For now, for tomorrow, and forever.
