Trace Adkins

I have to admit that I have been sucked into watching The Celebrity Apprentice. I have been so impressed with Trace Adkins on the show. He is such a great family man. At the last show he performed his song "You're Gonna Miss That". I have heard this song many times but it has never hit me emotionally like it did today. I want to share the lyric to the song with you.

You're Gonna Miss This

She was staring out the window of that SUV Complaning, saying "I can't wait to turn 18" She said "I'll make my own money, and I'll make my own rules" Mamma put the car in park out there in front of the school Then she kissed her head and said "I was just like you" You're gonna miss this You're gonna want this back You're gonna wish these days hadn't gone by so fast These are some good times So take a good look around You may not know it now

But you're gonna miss this Before she knows it she's a brand new bride In a one-bedroom apartment, and her daddy stops by He tells her "It's a nice place" She says "It'll do for now" Starts talking about babies and buying a house Daddy shakes his head and says "Baby, just slow down" Cause you're gonna miss this You're gonna want this back You're gonna wish these days hadn't gone by so fast These are some good times So take a good look around You may not know it now

Five years later there's a plumber workin' on the water heater Dog's barkin', phone's ringin' One kid's cryin', one kid's screamin' She keeps apologizin' He says "They don't bother me. I've got 2 babies of my own. One's 36, one's 23. Huh, it's hard to believe, but ... You're gonna miss this You're gonna want this back You're gonna wish these days hadn't gone by so fast These are some good times So take a good look around You may not know it now But you're gonna miss this"

I will be the first to admit that I am always wishing for things to change and for things to get better. However, that song really touched me and I want to change that mind set. I want to enjoy each moment as it comes. I don't want to miss anything. I know that the Lord has been blessing Mike and I so much and I don't feel that I have appreciated like I should. I am changing my ways and I am going to enjoy life as it comes! I have added his performance to my blog as well. If you get a chance, check it out. He is such a great singer and you can feel the emotion as he sings the song. Enjoy!!!
