Honestly... i've been struggling. That is actually a title of a book that I saw when i was in Buea about another missionary. I didn't have time to read it, but i relate to that woman right now. There have been a whirlwind of things that have made me struggle, but I have kept my strength up ONLY because the Lord is with me. I was thinking tonight about my trials and also how long I have here. Two weeks. This song came on... and at the perfect time. I am here for a reason and I will use the rest of my time to good use... i have no regrets!
Time That Is Left (Mark Schultz)
What will you do with the time that's left
Will you live it all with no regret?
Will they say that you loved till your final breath?
What will you do with the time that's left?
Oh, Hallelujah!
Oh, Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Amen
What will you do with the time that's past?
Oh and all the pain that seems to last?
Can you give it to Jesus and not look back?
What will you do with the time that's past?
Oh, Hallelujah!
Oh, Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Amen
What will He say when your time has come?
When He takes you into His arms of love?
With tears in His eyes will He say well done?
What will He say when your time has come?
Oh, Hallelujah!
Oh, Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
(Lord be present in all my ways,
help me follow You all my days oh Father God)
Amen
What will you do with the time that's left?
Will you live it all with no regret
Will they say that you loved till your final breath?
What will you do with the time?

Elissa, Cherish your last few days, but remember the good you'll be able to do wherever you are, whenever... We should all make the words to that song a life motto!
