I grabbed my devotion and realized that I missed Thursday and did Friday's by accident. So tonight, I devote "Thursday's devotion. Here it goes....
How do I spend my time and my money, and what do I think about most each day? That will tell me what is most important to me.
Work dominates a large part of my life, but that is how things go. When I'm home I spend a good bit of time alone: on the treadmill or out on my bike (at least now i do) and I try to spend as much time as I can with Carey, b/c it seems that we don't see one another enough. If I had my way, I'd spend every available second with that sweet, cutie patootie husband of mine. When I'm in the car, I sing and pray, and sometimes I'll sing my prayers. I have conversations with God, (of course I do most of the talking) and more often than I'd like to admit, I get sort of ugly. Not with God, with other drivers of course. For whatever reason I happen to be the only person on the highway who does not take their time getting somewhere and I'm the only person who can actually drive and use a blinker properly. I'm just saying. On my way home from work, I'll usually call my friends and chat...I realized the other day that very few of my friends actually call me. Sort of hurt my feelings but I guess it just means that I have more free time for people. At least thinking that makes me feel better. Maybe when I have children I'll understand what goes through people minds, then again maybe not. I mainly call those friends who live out of town/far away, since I don't get to see them as often. Sorry, my pitty party is over. I guess that is what happens with technology, less phone calls. It seems I'm also one of few people who still send birthday cards. That is just my thing. I love to send cards.
On another note: Katie and Suzanna, call often.
Totally got off the subject but I'm trying to determine how I spend my time. Volleyball is getting ready to start so from next week on, I'll be playing volleyball two nights a week. I can't wait. The other question that was asked was "How do I spend my money?" With the little bit that I do make, I pay the mortgage, my student loans, my car note, insurance, homeowners association dues, gas and groceries, and a bit of shopping here and there, but there isn't much left after that. I donate a lot of it, I give to my church every Sunday, and I donate to charities every chance I get, so I hope I'm doing something or things that make the Lord proud of me.
I'm sure like most, there are things that I could be doing more and less of when appropriate.
