Okay, so last night I found myself wishing away the week. In fact, I most likely have been wishing away the last couple of weeks. You see, I leave for Argentina on Friday and am completely excited. I am excited for this wonderful opportunity to travel with a great friend, meet new friends, and just explore the amazing world God created. But in all my excitement, I lost sight of the amazing opportunities that await me everyday! So I sit back and think about what I would have missed out on last week if it were truly wished away.Monday: I would have missed the wonderful snowmobiling trip taken with some great friends.
Tuesday: I would have missed the opportunity to catch up with some friends I see only once a month.
Wednesday: I would have missed the pleasure of meeting some amazing youth in our community in the process of competing for a Lilly Scholarship.
Thursday: I would have missed out on the wonderful time I spent with Jess, Amos, and Grace...time that I truly enjoy!
Friday: I would have missed out on the time I worked on organizing my photos.
Saturday: I would have missed the time I spent with many friends playing in a poker tournament and just enjoying each other's company.
Sunday: I would have missed out on the time I spent with my roommate... though she was sick :(... and the great worship and praise service I attended.
And there is just so much more....
So I try to not wish my days away, but to appreciate each and every day. For each day, whether we are at work, at home, or just out and about, brings many opportunties and blessings.
