Don't Wanna Miss a Thing

I've decided that finals cannot possibly be of God.
America's Funniest Home Videos is the probably the best show on TV right now.
I have a very weird gift that causes me to always call my mom when she is brushing her teeth.

I can't believe that the year is coming to a close. It feels like this year has FLOWN by without me realizing it at all, and now I feel like I've forgotten to take time to appreciate the things that have made it an awesome year. But I guess that happens a lot, not remembering to step back and look at what's going on around you to truly be thankful for what you've been given. That sucks though, because I'm the kind of person that doesn't want to miss a thing (right about now would be a good time to bust out in the Aerosmith song "Don't Wanna Miss a Thing"). There has been so much that has happened this year that has ushered me into the kind of person that I have wanted to be, into the dreams that God has placed inside of my heart, and into the desire to pursue His heart more than anything else. For this reason, I don't want to blink because I feel like God's taking me to a place where I really won't want to ever forget what got me there. All of it is so important. All the pain, all the joy, all the strength, all the brokenness that leads me to this place will remind me that going there was a feat in and of itself, so I can't give up on the desires that God has given me because I've paid a price to get there.
