I've been pondering this question, since someone asked me it yesterday morning...What is a life worth living? A life lived for Christ and one that brings him honor and glory, yes, most definitely, but what does that actually look like? And what else? What do I really want in this life?
Whenever anyone asks me some variation of this question, I always (if I know the person well enough) say that there are really only three things I want...to be a doctor, to get married, and to have children...things that sometimes (often) seem so out of reach. Anything else that when I was younger I might have wanted I now either have or it is no longer important...I own a house (condo), which was one of my goals when I was a senior in college (although that seems relatively unimportant now in the grand sceme of things), I attend an amazing, Biblically-sound church (which is very important), and I have a number of close, Christian friends (yes, still important). But I guess other things just seem more...lifelong, ya know? Oh yeah, and I have an absolutely amazing family, but I guess I've always kind of taken that for granted, since I grew up with that.
I guess what I should really focus on is a closer relationship with Christ, because nothing else besides Him can truly satisfy...and He will show me how the other pieces of my life should fit into place...

Hi Alane
actually sometimes I feel like I'm going in circles. I just wished I lived in a condo too recently, all for the comfort and serene environment. I Don't used to stay at home so much and office was almost like my second home, but then I have be content that there are larger plans in the long run. I put a fan in my kitchen recently, and it did wonders. While I do quite some cooking, it really made the area cooler and more "breathable"! Here's my email to connect! popuri@singnet.com.sg
Thanks for the link to Audrey's site. What a beautiful family. I have added them to my site.
Being single can be hard...you are so not alone. Read Proverbs 13:12, it's great to know God understands...email me anytime! creyes@fowler.k12.ca.us
