I want to take some time and hit on the fact that sometimes, we get busy, we get stressed and we get distracted from what we should be focusing on...right now is a great example of that because I am working my way through a pretty busy week and I have made it a point to not lose focus of what is important in life. I have a lot of assignments and quizzes and even 2 exams the day after my birthday coming up this week, tax season is starting to pick up at work and I know when I get to Washington in the morning, there will be a stack of returns on my desk waiting to be prepared. While all of this is going on, I have made a commitment to stay focused on spending time with God, leading my 2:42 group, and making people a priority in my life. Nothing in life can become more important than God, people, and service. Sometimes, that means choosing to take time away from pursuing good grades or anything else that becomes more important than these three things. That is not to say that good grades are not important, because they are, working hard is important, but in order to approach them properly and bring glory to God through my grades and my career, I have to make sure that He stays top-priority in my life. I challenge you to do the same...regardless of what is important in your life, please take time to make sure that God is the most important person in your life, and that loving and serving Him and His people is your goal in life.
Luke 10:27
And he answered, you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength and with all your mind and your neighbor as yourself.
