The sum total of our life is what we do with our time.<\/p>\n<p>That doesn&#8217;t mean we must be busy to have a meaningful life. How we spend our time is hopefully intentional, or at least somewhat intentionally meaningful towards what you want your life to be.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve not been intentional with my time in a day to day way. I know what I want out of life in general, but what I do day to day does not always contribute to that. I think that&#8217;s how people generally live life. By God&#8217;s grace and sovereign hand, I&#8217;ve had a really good life with everything I&#8217;ve always wanted.<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday was full of activities. Deacons meeting in the morning, came home for lunch, then on to my son and daughter-in-law&#8217;s baby shower. I&#8217;ve spent the last week making 6 small diaper cakes for centerpieces. Did last minute cake toppers which I thought turned out really well&#8230;but I don&#8217;t think anyone noticed them!<\/p>\n<p>Then our fam went out to dinner. Thought I was going to go home to read and relax after that. But one of my favorite young couples gave birth to their first baby girl. This was quite a miracle baby, so we went after dinner to see them and their 5 hour old little girl. It was such a precious time. Got to the hospital at 9pm. When we came home, it was time for bed, get ready for church the next day.<\/p>\n<p>Today, Sunday, I thought I would skip an optional meeting and leave church early. But as usual I hung around to talk to people. Ate lunch at 1:30pm, then went to meet up with a friend to pray together, particularly for my upcoming STM. She is a wonderful prayer partner.<\/p>\n<p>Restuffed my pillow &#8211; been wanting to do that for the last month, dinner, wash dishes, and the day is over!<\/p>\n<p>The weekend was full of activities. Is my life meaningful? Did everything I do contribute to a meaningful life? I am not sure, but there&#8217;s nothing that I would cut out if I had to do it over again&#8230;well, maybe cut out 1\/2 of the deacon&#8217;s meeting would&#8217;ve been nice. I am quite satisfied with my life.<\/p>\n<p>I am nervous about going to Taiwan STM. If it was a vacation I would still be nervous. The details &#8211; did I forget anything, etc. weighs on my heart. But then I remind myself &#8211; I don&#8217;t have to worry, my husband takes care of everything. My God is in control. And it&#8217;s my 4th time there. Taiwan is not in the jungles. Whatever I need I can buy there. Cheaper too. And a friend at church will be there at the same time and offered to take us around. I have only 1.5 days of free time, so maybe I can see her on that .5 day.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our life consists of what we do.
