Sorry for the absence
Hi – sorry for the absenteeism lately. I have been having some technical issues, moving country… many things happening.
However I have been aware of things happening around the world.
Today I am especially grateful for the traveling team of Canadians who are working with Living Waters doing 2 day workshops on overcoming abuse and addictions. I saw them in Bali Indonesia then they were off to the Philipines.
It was also so heartening to see so many young people so passionate not only about God but walking the talk by spending time especially with slum kids in Bali, Indonesia. Thank you guys from YWAM (Youth with a mission), you are making a difference not only for the kids but also for those adults around you who see and feel your passion.
Make the most of each day
Recently there have been a number of hiccups not so much in my life but of those around me, including two deaths. Both people I hadn’t seen for some time, one even a few years. One lady was older about eighty and the other man wasn’t even forty years old. I wonder how anyone can not make the most of every day or wait for something.
In particular I wonder if the young man ever did meet anyone. I wonder – Was he happy with his life? Was he fulfilled?
In my life one guide I have used is that I ask myself this question “what would I do if my circumstances were different? ” For example, if more finances were available or if I was in a loving, commited relationship. Then usually after careful, but not long, consideration I choose to do whatever the answer to that question was,regardless of the hurdles to leap over. I remember reading a women’s magazine probably twenty years ago which had a list of achievements for ‘the accomplished woman’. The list included such things as learning a foreign language, living overseas, do a univeristy degree. Well I have done all those things and yet every day there is always so much more to do.
Recently I received an email from someone thanking me for the inspirational words in this website. However I am so thankful that even when someone is going through an experience others might see as a living hell, such as the aftermath of huge natural disasters in the Phillipines this season, that someone takes the time to contact me. I am humbled.
Although it is my intention to offer hope on this website by collecting quotes, videos and more, it is inspiring for me to know that what I do in my own small way has made a difference in someone else’s life.
Life is short. Make it happen today!!!
