Time

Time


I often hear the saying is there ever enough of it? If we had more, would there be enough? I guess what we choose to do with our TIME is everything. Or I guess what we choose NOT to do with our time.

I have a friend who is dieing of cancer. She is more full of life than I am. The only difference between me and her is that I don't know when I will die. Time...


FORGE is asking us to change our sponsorship because we don't work for them much anymore. Which is fine as the Red Network is happy to sponsor us. Many things during this process has woken us up again to the reality that someday we will leave Melbourne. Anytime you adjust your visa you run the risk of being denied. We are used to this, but this means they could send us home sooner than we thought. As it is, Cheyenne really wants to finish High School here and that's about 2 1/2 years away. If it's God's plan we will shoot for that. Time...

We think that when our time here is done we will be heading back to the states. We are seriously considering moving to Long Beach. I can't help but feel that will not be our last stop either.

Time is a scary thing as I'm realizing that my daughters are quickly going to be moving on too. They could even both decide to stay here (God forbid!!!) at that time as they will both be adults. Time is a crazy and sometimes scary thing. Pregnancy took forever, but the last 18 years have flown by. And again, today's lunch rush at the cafe seemed to go slow.


I am very glad I put all the time I did into my girls while I had the chance! There are other relationships in the states I feel I put my time into too. Beautiful (sometimes ugly) days I wouldn't change for anything. I don't know if I've put the same effort into my time here in OZ.

What I would like to see begin here before we go is more people living in real community with each other. Relationships with people change people; I haven't seen anyone change without it. What is love anyway?


So what I've done is cut down all of my work hours. I gave my last week at the cafe and have gone down to only two 3 hour days mosaicing. Time.... time is money... but I've decided that time is more important, and I know God will sort out the money, He already is.

Time for people...

Time to make a difference...

And someday there will be a time to leave Melbourne...

and someday again to leave this life all together...

(sounds very Ecclesiastes)



Here's some current pics of my beautiful girls

They will get mad at me for this :)
