Time.
Fast, slow, whatever it is, the poor thing can never satisfy us. "I wish Summer break would hurry up and get here!"... Two months later.."I wish school was starting back up Tomorrow!" ...Okay. What do we want?!?!!? I'm not bashing on people that do this because that, my friend, would be hypocrisy due to the fact that I do it. Right now I'm considering taking a very long, month-and-a-half, nap and wake up on August 17th to head back to Indy for my sophomore year at IBC. But then I don't want to regret all the moments I need to cherish at home with my loving family. I need to take pleasure in seeing my beautiful baby cousin Tristan crawl and try to walk, and how he smiles everytime he sees me and will beg for me to hold him. I love that he remembers me even though I've been gone the majority of his first months. He'll be a year old in August =)
I need to take in the time with my Daddy =) I'm a daddy's girl although I act tough or at least try to. I should make memories and help him work on his basement that was ruined when it flooded. Or help him work on that dresser/night-stand table I just bought for my dorm. Or take a Starbucks trip. I love that my dad likes Starbucks haha.
Making jokes with my Momma and my best friend =) Listen to her act like a little teenager lol Just sit and have heart-to-heart chats with her and just spend some time sharing my love for her.
My grandparents =) I love to make them laugh. If I can get them laughing it makes my day so much better. They've done so much for me, I can never repay them.
Kiersten...my dear little sister and my future Maid of Honor (Sorry Besties lol) We fuss and fight but I love being close to my sister. I can talk to her about anything. I should make memories with her doing the little girly things like shopping at the mall, drive down the highway with the windows rolled down and music jammin =) She means the world to me.
And of course, my little brother, Devan. He's a mess. But he's MY little mess. lol LORD please touch him haha. Watching him get excited when I put new songs and apps on his ipod touch that he worked for and saved up $300 for! I'm so proud of him=) He's a good kid and he's gonna be a great man. He's just a boy for now though.
Time is of the essence. Time is what you make of it. Time is both convienient and inconvienient. Time to one who works two jobs is fast-paced, and rarely free. But we can't sit around and watch the clock change. We can't sit around and complain about times past. Make the most of your time on Earth, with family, friends, and life. Soon and very soon that trumpet is gonna sound and those that meet our Savior will be in a place where time doesn't exist. It's unchanging, eternal, peaceful. It's Heaven.
Build you hope, heart, and time on things that matter but more importantly on things Eternal. (And hold to God's unchanging hand =))
