Our Priorities

to my sisters and brothers,

I believe we are living in the times of distraction . There are so many things to keep us busy-incredibly busy. I personally marvel at my friends who seem to have time. Or maybe they just prioritize better. I want to have time to do those things that God wants me to do and the time to do the rest. We all need to desire to do those things God wants us to do and for me it is to write. Not something I would choose for myself. I don't see myself as a writer. But really what does that have to do with it since what I do know is my Father told me to do it. So when my friend Keiger set this up for me I was excited and delighted. That my dear sisters and brothers was November 2007. Not good. Of course, I rationalize that I have gotten other things done that God has asked me to do. Now thats good. From November until today God has interrupted my thoughts with numerous words and messages that He wants shared not with a few people but with many. I have to get my priorities straight not just for a few days but for always. Our very lst priority is reading and studying God's word and praying and fasting(fasting something).
It's important that we are alert to Satan directing and distracting us and to the choices we make.

God help us all to do the things you are asking us to do for our own good and for the good of others. I know Father when we put you first all else and more gets done. Give us all the desire to know you and want you more than anything or anybody else.
