Anonymous: Jesus' hidden years...and yours

by Alicia Britt Chole

Some struggle with living in the past, others with living for the moment. Personally, my struggle has more often been in living for the future. As a young adult, my gaze was always set toward the next step or season or degree or plan or place or . . . Distracted with daydreams of tomorrow’s potential, I often found today’s reality pale and tasteless in comparison. Before I could even be capable of valuing hidden years, I first had to start valuing each day as something more than just a boring prelude to the exciting future.
