I feel overwhelmed with everything I have to do, and if I had extra time, I would take it. I didn’t truly pay attention to this until my 30s. Now that I see the bigger picture, I wish I had more time. I am 41 years old, and I wonder if I can accomplish everything in time. Do I have enough health left in me? These thoughts constantly run through my mind.

If I have a lifespan like my mom, that means I have less than 25 years left. If I have a lifespan like my great-grandmother, that could mean I have 60 years. I often think about the time I have left with my family, and I am grateful for any amount of time God gives me. If I could, I would gladly take extra time.
