Speed Bumps

I absolutely hate speed bumps. This hate started a long time ago at Davidson Academy. Love that school but the amount of speed bumps there is just a bit ridiculous. I thought that I was moving away from the speed bumps after high school but I was Wrong! Union University has more speed bumps than it could possibly need. On the average day I have to slow down more than 42 no I am not exaggerating times just for speed bumps! I can't stand it.

The funny thing about speed bumps is the fact that I let them make me so mad. I mean I can get livid over speed bumps and today I was really thinking about that. Why do I hate them so much? Mainly because they are getting in my way of where I want to be. I understand their purpose but sometimes I lose sight of that and think that Union has really just put them there to annoy me. or so that they have something to do with all the money they charge to go here

There is a bigger lesson in these speed bumps. This is my life. I am always in such a hurry to get to where I am going that I don't take the time to slow down! I think God loves speed bumps. He likes to say "Morgan, slow down. Notice me. Stop being in such a hurry to get where you are going." I want to graduate, we all know that, but somedays I get really sad because I know it will never be the same. In my mind, Jackson is a speed bump right now... It is in the way of where I want to be. I am conflicted. Somedays are just so "awful" and then there are moments I know I will miss it. There are a lot of speed bumps in my life right now. Sometimes I find myself thinking really God, you are just putting this here to annoy me aren't you?! But in the end all these things have a purpose. They are teaching me to slow down, to notice Him, to notice the things in my life that I wouldn't have otherwise. And maybe they are just there so I will better enjoy the parts with no speed bumps?

So I am going to try to be more understanding, but lets be honest... speed bumps are a pain!
