New Priorities

I often have a hard time writing…not because of writer's block…but because of a dreamers imagination.

As many of you know, I am in my last weeks of obtaining my Bachelor’s Degree.  Some may think…wow got your whole life ahead of you, as most graduates do.  But mine is not the case.

Priorities…that is what I struggle with.  As a dreamer, do I put my dreams first, or as a realist do I put my career first…or…are they the same?

My thoughts first and foremost eventually return to the unselfish notion of doing and giving for others.  In so doing I serve to make my dreams a reality.

I am tired; I am worn out, I am sick, and I am sore.  But I am full of life, energetic, healthy and sane at the same time.  Where should my priorities lie?  They should lie nowhere, but rather rise up and conquer the demons that have held you in chains your whole life.

This is gonna be deep, but here are a few thoughts that may shift your priorities.  If you knew you had three days to live, what would you do?  If you knew the last words you spoke or wrote where gonna be your last, what would you say?  If you knew you had one last person to hug before you left this lifetime, who would that be?

I have many priorities.  They have been shaped by the faith I have that my actions, words, and who I meet on any given day are set before me for a reason.  I do not know why I am up so early writing this when I have school work to do, but I am.  And I don’t question it…I roll with it.

For in the end I know I serve not my priorities but His.  And if for any reason my words or actions should turn corrupt, I know He will set my path straight.  I do not question my God…for He has already given me the answers.  They are all around us and inside of us to discover.

Do I make plans, not knowing what God’s plan is?  I told you this was deep.  But at the surface the water is warm, and in the shallows, there is more color.  Why spend your days searching the night, when the light of day makes for easier discovery.  In five weeks I am finished with school, but I will continue to learn every day.  I grow in His ways, to know that no matter how complicated my plans, simple solutions are found when you trust in the Lord.

Why do I spend my time writing this blog…when there are so many other priorities?  Because right now, in this place and time, it is God’s plan; and I do not question it…I roll with it.

All His Blessings to You and Yours my friends…Keep the Faith…It is Our Highest Priority.
