Like a thief in the night.

*eye twitch.

*eye twitch.

*eye twitch.

Oh my goodness. I can't believe it.

He was here 13 days ago. 13 days ago. And where was I thirteen days ago?

Sitting on a desk. Doing math. Doing English. Working. Breathing.

But at the moment I can't even do that last word.

I am in disbelief. He was here.

He was here and I didn't know about it. How could I have not known about it?

Something unexpected yet expected as this. I'll face the facts: I was not prepared.

It's true. I was too busy doing other things. I kept my thoughts and all my energy into getting things done, so that I could just finish it and not have to worry about it later on. I didn't keep my mind open to other things, but closed onto one thing.

I suppose that it's good for focus, maybe at school. But no, I have got to say no, not in life.

It's true. Unexpected things do come your way. Like a thief in the night. You don't know that it's going to happen. You're unaware of it all. Caught up in something else.

But dear readers, I must say this. Be prepared. It's quite straightforward. You really never know when someone or something is going to come. Don't miss it by a long shot.

You'll have yourself wondering all the what-ifs in life. Be alert. Awake. Alive.

What if I opened my eyes? What if I listened? Then would I have fallen in love?
Those words spoken in the eyes of someone too caught up in their work to see that their best friend loves them. What happens now? He's probably around 40 and still hasn't gotten over it. (That didn't really happen but thought to provide an example).

It still has my mind boggled. Because what happened today. My realization of awareness has turned a light bulb on.

Thinking about my awareness, completely oblivious that he was here thirteen days ago, has struck me a metaphor.

Jesus. He's coming soon. My Lord and Saviour, the Light of the World.

There's all this talk about when the world will end and dates and stuff, but really no one will ever know when it will. It's unexpecting.

1 Thessalonians 5:1-3 NIV "Now, brothers and sisters, about times and dates we do not need to write to you, for you know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. While people are saying "Peace and safety," destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.

You really really don't know what's coming.

So then in the next few verses is goes on to say that those who are not in the darkness (meaning followers of Christ) shouldn't be taken off guard or surprise by this.We know where we stand since we are children of light. It says that we shouldn't sleepwalk through life or get caught in things like others but keep our eyes open and be smart.

Then it goes on about how the way we should live.(But that's another story, look it up though, it's a good read.)

I could go on and on about this.

Man, it just mindblows me. I guess I wouldn't have been reading those verses if this didn't happen to me, you know, me missing on it when he cam thirteen days ago.

I guess I should be quite thankful. It brought me this new awareness. Alertness.

In a way, this experience has taught me a lesson.

I'm going to be paying attention more now. In all things really.

Is he going to come back here? I don't know, but all I know is that I missed my chance.

So dear readers, let me tell you to be aware in all things. I don't want you to be blind to what's coming.

Oh and if you're wondering who came here thirteen days ago, you'll know I'm a big Owl City fan.

Ladies and gentlemen, Adam Young.

Exactly.
