Priorities

Priorities. 

People are always talking about priorities. 

Some think others priorities are right, others disagree, and even other change on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. So who is right? What are priorities all about and why do so many people place so much stress on them. 

The short answer: I DON'T KNOW

The long answer: Priorities in some way, shape or form help you attempt to not miss out on "important things" in life. 

Now your important things and my important things are vastly different.
Just conversations between Andrew and I and we have our priorities in some areas are different than in others where we agree. Are we supposed to agree on everything? I mean we are getting married.

My answer to that is yea right. There will always be something where we have difference of opinion on, good, bad or otherwise. There will always be something where one of us was raised one way doing things and another one thinks it should be done different. Who is right?

I don't think being right is the point in the midst of all of the priorities. These ultimately come down to disputable matters that long term if we let them can create a huge chasm however if we keep the main things the main things we should be ok.

Love God. 

Love People 

(including loving ourselves, sometimes that is the hardest to do) 

Priorities: as simple or as complex as that. 

Now I am going to get back to my priorities of making list in order of what I think should be accomplished. Will it be finished in that order no, but do I allow God to show up in the midst of making my own agendas and priorities to give him space to do something with my words and deeds? That is a daily battle that I must continuously wage against the pile of "todos" and my time with Jesus.

So here is making the main thing the main thing
all the time.
