This past week was the Miss Gabriela Tarves Birthday.
It was splendid.
We went laser tagging then back to Paul's house for some food and Cranium.
A year ago on her birthday Letitia, Paula and I went to Ikea to celebrate Gabbi's birthday while she partying it up in Costa Rica. It was around this time that I also went laser tagging with Chanel, Letitia, Mike, Nate, Sterling, Becca and some others. It was also when Daniel De Jong was here. Youth Conference. As well as a lot of memorable nights with Chanel and Letitia. As well as I was fighting big time with my family.
So much has happened in the last year its crazy. It's weird to think a year ago Chanel and Letitia were here, in Canada. And it's weird to think they are now miles and miles away living amazing lives. And man it's super hard. I miss them literally every day.
Time is so precious, yet people spend so much time wasting it.
I want to seize every moment for good, for something that's getting me closer to something, whether it be God, a goal, a relationship with a friend, myself. A moment spent not getting you further in life is wasted. It's a moment of time God has given you that you've thrown in the garbage. In reality we don't have that much time on earth. We are in the year 2011, several lives have come and gone before us. We are not here for a significant amount of time. So what are you going to do with these moments ahead of you? I hope not just exist.
I've spent some time in this last year thinking, 'i just wanna be done school, started my design firm, and my family.' I'm clearly missing it, because that's a long time from now. I don't want to miss the here and now. If I spend too much time longing and wanting the future to be here now, I won't be able to grasp these moments that are so crucial to me getting there. I'll just be going through the actions. And i NEVER want to just be going through the actions, cause I know God has so much more for me and I'll miss it completely if my eyes aren't focused on this moment because that's how God works.
