Stop being on the outside looking in
Our daughter has been in Paris for six weeks of her 12-week language immersion trip. Just about every day, my wife and I hope she will post pictures of the places she’s been so we can pretend we’ve been there too. We want to live vicariously through her experience.I must admit, though, being on the outside looking in on someone else’s experience isn’t as fun as it sounds, not even close. All I can do is watch what’s happening and wish it was happening to me.Sadly, many people live their lives that way. Scrolling through social media and wishing they had someone else’s fortune, family or faith. But that kind of life really isn’t any life at all. It’s actually a fake life that’s never been lived.The truth is, God never created you to live someone else’s life.
