Priorities; Control -- What?
Have you ever felt like your life is out of control? For someone like me, who is a bit of a control freak, it can be pretty hard to deal with. During this season, the intensity of our lives only increases, and there are so many demands on our time and energy. I will confess that I struggle with keeping my priorities in order, especially during this time of the year. What are my priorities? Good question! If I listed them according to what I've been told they should be, they would follow this order: God, Family, Church, Others. Or is it God, Family, Church [Others], myself? I forget. Honestly the order in which they so often fall in my life is Church, Family, Church, God, Others ... who am I? So how do I get things in order? ... I wish I had a definitive answer. The only thing I know to do is to wake up each morning acknowledging my Creator with gratitude for another day in which to try to figure out how to keep things in perspective and some semblance of order, and to claim 1 Cor 14:33a, "God is not a God of confusion but a God of peace." Can anyone relate to my perdicament?
