Chances Are
Have any of you heard the song 'Chances Are' by Bob Seger and Martina McBride? I am listening to it right now. What a beautiful song! Some of the best songs are just the simple ones, no big fancy lights or techno keyboards. Just a guitar and a piano. Well, if you havent heard the song, you should definately check it out.
With New Year's Eve comming up tomorrow night it is making me think about the past year, where I was last year at this time, and what could God still have in store for me in the future! Lets see, I think my favorite part of 2005 was my canoe trip with Melissa and Erin last summer. We decided to canoe for a day down the Big Sioux river by Flandreau. It started off beautiful, but we ended up running into a thunder and lightning storm. We banked the canoe and walked across this field that had been cut up so it had sharp blades of wheat and grass, and we were all in shorts w/ not much for shoes. We walked to a farm house and the lady took us in and let us call Melissa's mom to come get us. After all was over with, it turned out to be a great bonding experience for us. It was also the first time I ever drove a suburban! (for those who dont know, im petrified of driving)
Another great memory from 2005 was when we learned how to Irish Dance on St. Patrick's day. I love anthing to do with Ireland, and it was such a blast to learn how to dance! Some of my best memories were at the Newman Center last year, just hanging out with people. When I look back, I can't pick one that stands out the most, they were all great. I am hoping that 2006 will turn out to be just as fun!
I hope you all take a moment to reflect back on last year, and remember how every bad time somehow turned into a good one, and where you would be if it wouldnt have happened. 'For everything there is a reason, a season under God.'
