Flying Time

It's funny how time moves forward so quickly. We are never in one place very long. We tend to forget happenings and exactly how we got where. Those things just kind of fade into the background. But at times I like to remember. The reason I think about this particular subject is because of my Brother In-Law Chris. He blogged today a picture and a few lines.

2 years ago today (April 14th 2009) My Brother In-Laws father passed. Totally unforeseen. I met his father when I was around 10 years old... maybe 11. Here I am almost 20, time has flown. I can't believe that it has been two years... I can remember those moments like it was yesterday. My sister was pregnant with my nephew. It pains me to think that he never got to see his grandson being born. Almost a month after Earl's passing My sister had Ryland. It was a time of joy and also of pain.

How quick is the second of time we are here on this earth. How meaningful it is to hold every moment with such worth. The time spent with one another and the time spent in love.

I think back on my childhood- spent in 2 different states. Kansas & Texas. Magical jungle gyms. Lassie the dog we fed chicken bones to. Tornados chasing our car. Chewy the dog next door. The twins that moved in. Field Days. Church adventures. Friends in a car wreck during DNOW 08. A teen from church dies in a car wreck at 15. A loved theatre director in our district dies. My sister has my neice. My abuela passes away.

I think back on my adolescence. Texas & Florida. Never thought I would move my Jr. year. SJCCA. My great uncle dies. So much growth at TPAC. Disney Candlelight. SLU 101 & 201. Prom Alt. 08 & 09. Lifeguard for a summer. Get a car. Chris' father dies. ReelDreams. Michaela has Ryland. Graduation.

I think back over the past almost 2 years. Virginia & West Virginia & Texas. Never thought dad would get laid off. Move to WV of all places?! Attend Regent U. Get swept away by immaturity. Struggle to stay alive. Battle every day. Get a job. Get cast in Little Women. Go back home (FL) for Disney Candlelight 09. Hit rock bottom. Snowed in. Visit MD. Stay the summer in VB and MO. Take screen acting. Healing. 48 hr. film fest chesapeake. Work for my grandfather. Receive love and wisdom from my grandmother. Conditioning of the heart and spirit. Family moves to Texas. Stage Manage. God heals. Make it over the hurdles. Get cast in 3 shows. Act in a Sex Trafficking Awareness Drama. Growing into a Woman.


Life has brought me here. The Lord has laid the road. Oh may I let the ones I love know it.

I read this yesterday as I ran from the world.
Luke 12:
35 “Be dressed ready for service and keep your lamps burning, 36 like servants waiting for their master to return from a wedding banquet, so that when he comes and knocks they can immediately open the door for him.

I was wanting to define dressed. Being dressed is so encompassing of many things. But, in relation to love. I will love and be ready to love and keep love burning till the master returns. So when he comes I can open the door knowing I have done what he has asked of me.
