Keeping a Record

I always feel like I should be taking pictures, or writing more blog entries. Like I should be making more of an effort to remember what happens in my life and to make those moments more eventful.

But I was just reading something my sweet friend/daughter Jade wrote. And I think it sums up what I feel as well:

"Slowing down to drink this in has been very crucial to my relationship with God. After all, He was never too keen on the boisterous. He didn't send His only son into the world in some loud, public manner; He came to us humbly, as a baby in a manger. If I'm constantly scrambling to make small moments bigger than they are, I am missing out on fully experiencing them. That's why it's ok that we can't take a picture of every beautiful human interaction we witness, record each amazing conversation we have, or even get a video of our favorite musician at a concert when they're standing five feet away. We would miss out on something that was created for us to experience. We must seize every moment, because when it's gone, it's gone."
