Making Time

For the first three weeks I was pretty much unwavering in faithfulness, but this last weekend and this week have been quite a struggle for me. Getting into the word, Bible Studies, Life Group, time with residents and friends has just turned into another thing on the list instead of a blessing that I have the privilege of being a part of. It hit me today when I was praying for a couple of friends of mine who have either lost a grandparent or who's grandparent is quite ill. When I was telling my friend that I would be praying for her family, I felt as though I was doing it for my glory, to show her that I'm a good guy. I've become so consumed by the things that are piling up, that I forgot that the only glory that I might receive is from being part of God's plan.

I was really reminded that I need to take a step back, realign my priorities and put God back at the center of my life. This may not have been the same exact case for any of you, but it's just a reminder that sometimes we become so overwhelmed that we forget to do things for the right reasons. So, this is a reminder and a thank you message. Reminder: keep the Lord in mind at all times. If you notice that you are allowing Him to slip out of your life, figure out what you have to do in order to let Him back in. Thank you: when I was thinking of praying earlier, I instantly thought of this group and how I've also been neglecting this. It motivated me to get it together because I know that there are many more of us out there who are trying to balance the same things. So again, thank you all!

Much love and blessings.

Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for He who promised is faithful. And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and and good deeds. Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another-and all the more as you see the Day approaching. Hebrews 10:23-25
