Time Won't Let Me Go

~~LAST NIGHT~~

Last night, at the Phil Bryant Victory party, I had a lot of fun. It’s a party, dancing, free food, music, why wouldn’t I, right? Singing with the Berryhill’s and Jason turned into an awesome/hilarious choir. All was grand, and grand was the fun. But as usual, all fun comes to an end.

And, that’s when it hit me, ENJOY THIS NOW, because soon, it will all be gone.

And right there, in the midst of the dancing, the laughing, the singing, the joking, and all of the priceless moments, I realized I never wanted them all to end. I wanted to stay there with all those people I was with, doing everything we were doing, and just let it live on forever.

But it didn’t. It won’t. It never will.

The sad, simple truth is this: Time will not let us go. Time has a death grip on us, dragging us down with it. No one can stop it, no can erase, no one can change it, and unfortunately, no one can rewind it. Time will always run out.

I’m writing this near tears, as it is a sad, but very true, thought.

However, I’m also taking it as a life lesson.

SIEZE THE MOMENT. Do great and daring things! After all, what do we really have to be afraid of?

Death? DEATH WILL FIND US, regardless!

Rejection? Every single person on this earth will be slapped in the face with rejection at one point or another! Sure it may hurt or embarass you for a moment, but look at that sentence. A MOMENT. A shorrt amount of time.

So here’s my thought on fearlessness.

You can do amazing things, daring things, plain out spontaneous and stupid things, and hurt for a moment, be embarrased for a moment; or you can be regretful for the rest of your life of the chances you didn’t take.

Moment of pain/embarrasment, or a lifetime of regret.

Sounds like a no brainer to me.

The bottome line is this, at the end of our lives, when we look back, we will regret the things we DIDN’T DO, over the things we did, BY A LONGSHOT. So go all out! Chase your dreams, take opportunities, never miss a chance, do something utterly and completely rediculous, just for the fun of it, and the pride of saying you did!

We have one life, one chance, one short amount of time to do great things. To leave a legacy.

How will you live it? Will you make an impact?

Life your life so that when death finally finds us, and our souls are not on this earth, that we have so many fingerprints, there’s not a place people can’t go without thinking of us and smiling.

Just LIVE.

Times Are A-Changing

Surely I am not the only one who has taken a look back at 2011 and was just like “Whoaaa, where did the time go?” or “What the heck was I thinking?!”, or, my personal favorite, “Was I smoking weed or something?” The simple truth- everyone has, and everyone always will. Year after year, people do a recap of their year and throughout the story, there are smiles and there is definitely some cringing. So here’s a recap on my year.

At the beginning, went into it with some health problems (shocker, right?) and was forced to quit fastpitch softball and tennis. So I started my year off with a “well, this year is going to suck.”

I’m 16 years old! This is my dating prime, right? WRONG. I found interest in not a single person in my town. How lame it must be, I’m sure you’re thinking.

The highlight of my year was definitely the month of March. I got to go work at an orphanage in the Amazon in Ecuador. Sounds pretty great, I know. And it was, in fact, the best experience of my life. I absolutely cannot wait to go back this summer. I also met the best friends in the world that month at Carlianne Alderman’s party. Such as Austin Smith, John and Sam Mooney, Rebecca Stokes, Julia Walters, Hannah Monroe, and many many others. Needless to say, March was the best. Ever.

Unfortunately, months following, were Not. I got to meet a ton of people this summer through various camps, including a few famous bands who I still keep in touch with. I have made best friends with some others who I’m pretty much seeing on a daily basis, and lost some. Nothing sadder than losing friends.

Since the school year started, it’s pretty much been a whirlwind of stress and frustration. Pushing two years into one is definitely not easy, especially for someone who lacks motivation. However, come next year, when I’m at MC, it’ll be worth it.

Well that pretty much sums it up.

However, two more months to come. So stay tuned!

Days of Realization

Sat, 17 Sep 2011 02:02:44 -0400

Sometime within the past four days, I’ve grown up. I don’t know how to explain it, or what’s happening to me. All I can say is that I’m way different. I’ve encountered some new faces, that taught me a lot. and got to know a very sweet soul. However, some old faces were also encountered, and they weren’t very pleasant. When the only guy you’ve liked since your very first and only relationship ripped your heart out of your chest is a total jerk to you, things don’t go over very well. Needless to say, I’ve learned a lot about how people really are. I’ve learned that you can’t judge a person’s character based on their best days. Anyone can have a day where they are the sweetest person alive. It’s a persons worst days where you really see true colors. It’s currently 1 in the morning on the 17th. And I have not slept since the night of the 14th. My mind has been racing and I’ve written tons of poems out of these past nights. I love my Lord, and He has shown me so much. Thank goodness for that.

So I GO…The World Race Mission Trip (by worldrace)

This is the poem that I posted earlier.

WATCH THIS.

So I GO

Tue, 13 Sep 2011 15:41:05 -0400

~~my race my race my race~~
my race, more than the color of my skin and the language I speak
More than a 5 or 10k
More than a run in the park awaiting for the sound of the gun to blast
to activate my stride, my step, my course
Destiny in the making, purpose for the taking
Awakened in a season, rather forsaken a reason for my being, the reason
for my seeing
the reason for my hearing, my speaking, my life, my choice
My longing to dispose of a comfort and a fear that’s recycled and reused
me for too long
Too many tears not poured into the right soil, the right soul
Too many years not reaping the ripe harvest, the right mind set in my ways
reevaluating my calling because I couldn’t calculate it
Reconsidering convenience because I couldn’t handle the leaving of home
The known for the unknown
The digital follow me’s that have kept me at ease, appeasing the heart
of me
Keeping the real followers at a distance for the scared of me
Status-quos, fb statuses for real life and unpredictable challenges
so grow and break the rest of me, realizing that all of Him is the only
best of me for them to see
I lost part of me in the process, part of me in the nonsense
part of me to get sense but not change, my life is worth more than
dreams that keep me dreaming and people waiting, keep me waiting
and ~~people dreaming about a love so deep it keeps them gasping for His air~~
~~His breath to keep them breathing, His words to keep them believing~~
~~Longing for more of Him in the form of me and me longing for more of~~
~~Him in the form of them, so I go~~
