Acid Washed Jeans
Also known as light jeans, often have bonus features such as the hammer sling and extra pockets. These are not your hipster urban outfitters jeans; think more, “Oh these? I think my mom picked them up at old navy a few years back, they are super comfortable.” A particularly foul line of these pants come in boot cut and feature pre-cut holes, fray, and sometimes even bedazzle.

So when I started this blog thing, I had no idea how it would turn out. As of now, I haven’t written about anything serious (mainly b/c I think it would be lame and cheesy, and oh well, I think my 3 followers and Daimal are the only people reading this anyway) but thanks to the June gloom, I can’t shake the following topic:
It all started with a message I heard in church last Sunday. The pastor described how the Bible uses two words for time: chronos and kairos. Chronos is the typical use of time: seconds, minutes, days, etc. Kairos has to do with the idea of the fullness of time, a time when God is present and active, or when chronos time stands still and we remember the moment forever.
Earlier this week, over coffee at our kitchen table, I was telling my roommate Heather about a time in high school when I served a detention with my best friend because I didn’t want her to have to go by herself. I realized that since she has passed away, every chronos moment we shared together is now a kairos moment to me. There isn’t a place in the world I’d rather have had lunch than the P4 math portable that day. It was just a normal hour, but the memory is extremely valuable to me now.
As I continued to think about this throughout the day, I realized that that kitchen table coffee (and tea for Heather) was actually a kairos moment too, if I chose to see it that way. Heather’s friendship means the world to me! Every minute I get to spend with her is a complete gift. I need to stop going through life distracted and realize that I am constantly in the midst of kairos moments; where God is present if I am looking for Him. He can redeem my mundane moments, and any minute spent with someone else is precious. I don’t want to wait until someone is gone to realize how lucky I am to be sitting across the table (or school desk) from them.
Closing my phone and laptop,
Cindy
