Sometimes time flies, sometimes it seems to stand still. It can be a motivation, it can be a trap.We find time to do things we want to do, we lose time if front of the TV or computer.
I've just been contemplating time lately- how we prioritize it, how our perspective on it changes...
I've got 4 days left of work, we are leaving town in 2 weeks, and we won't see our new "home" in California for another month! Some days it seems right around the corner, other days it doesn't seem like it'll ever be real.
It's interesting how much more important it is to us and our friends to get together knowing that we don't have much more time for such visits. We've been making the most of every day to make sure we get all our tasks done. We've gone to all those appointments that we tend to put off. I wish we'd live every day like this. Who do we really want to spend time with or what do we really want to do but can't seem to find the time?
It's kind of like the question of what would you do if you knew you only had __ days to live.
I guess that's what's called living life on purpose. Pastor Troy is always talking about that- how we are racing against the clock. No one really knows how long each of us have left here on Earth.
Sorry if this post is random, it's just what's been on my mind lately....

Awesome post Jeen, but how are you getting Abel to handle time? :-) It is odd that time changes or we think time changes during certain times during our lives.
God bless you all. May what time you have left here in FL be wonderful.
Thanks Scott, I think Abel and I have to work on this whole time thing still. I'm hoping we spend more time together and not feel so rushed in California. I want to enjoy what we're doing more and not feel so BUSY!
This weekend is an example of the tough choices we have to make with our time. We were really torn when we heard that a surprise party was planned and we weren't able to make it. We had a great day with Izaac and made some really fun memories but wished we could have been with our Sawgrass friends at the same time! Thanks to all who celebrated for us, we love you guys.
