What's Important?

School started again yesterday. I’m trying to leave the house earlier again. Even in Hutto, the traffic between 7 and 8 in the morning is terrible. I guess it’s a “sign of the times.”
Normally, this is a great time of the year for me. My goals are reevaluating priorities, staying focused in ministry, and leading (family/church) by example. Writing those goals down is pretty scary. They all have to do with being intentional. None of them will take care of themselves.
The busyness of life will never go away. We all have the same amount of time in a day, a week, and a year. The question is: what will I choose to do with that time? Am I closer to God today than I was a year ago? a month ago? yesterday? I’ve come to believe what I once thought was pretty crazy. As we get older, time seems to go by faster and faster. For that reason, reevaluating my priorities more frequently seems to be really important.
Can I encourage you this week to reevaluate where you’re at spiritually? Is progress towards becoming like Christ still important? Has settling for the status quo been something you’ve fallen for? Will you join me in reevaluating what’s important? Hopefully, we’ll refuse to live for the moment. I pray we focus on what will last and make sure the things we say are important are evident by what we do.

Continuing the Journey...
