Missing

You know those time in your life when you sit back and ponder the past years, wondering why things happened the way they did… and at points, wondering if they’re ever going to be that good again?

Tonight, my friends, is one of those nights.

Missing something is a strange thing, if you think about it …
It can even be a situation that seemed grim and unpleasant at the time, but has become one of your fondest memories.

I’m missing a lot of things actually…
My very first summer retreat….
Dressing up to go out with someone who gives you butterflies…
Late night ninja snack runs…
Walks through Old Town to kill time….
Reading books like Dante’s Inferno for assignments…
Jumping on sleeping roommates…
Leading worship at youth group…
Waking up to a text message that says “Hello beautiful”…
Writing an A+ paper…
Discussing ridiculously hard questions with friends…
Spontaneous late night movies…
Unforeseen events that you don’t think you want, but then find that you really do…
Watching shooting stars in the middle of no where at 2:30am….
“Reffing” ping-pong games….
Looking someone in the eye and seeing a genuine care within them that you didn’t expect…

What can I say… times are good and times are not good.
And its those vividly good times that plague your mind on nights like these.

I'm missing having you in the car and singing and laughing with the whole family. We are not complete without you here....yet God has you there and I know He is completing you at Biola.
Missing you!
