I feel it is time to do more while doing less. I feel like I am so all over the place all the time, and that benefits no one. I run around like crazy trying to do as much as possible. I have talked with Grace, and it is like every time I hear about something, I want to do it. While this sounds like a good thing, I do everything just better than o.k.
I am not trying to brag or anything like that, but when I focus on something, things come out well. I think that is true of anyone. More time+more energy=more productivity. So I could really use your prayer on this. I need to decide where to cut back. On the flip side of that, I need to decide where the "extra" effort goes. To do this, things must go into perspective. This is where the real reflection comes in. Some are easy. Let's take a look at how I will prioritize things.
1a. I am a Christian
1b. I am husband
Those were easy to say, but I have to break down how they are so related. As a Christian, there are certain things that are important and must be done. Not for salvation, but in response to my salvation I desire to do them. Some of these supersede the husband category. These include going to church everyweek, praying every day, reading my Bible everyday, and tithing. I will do these things before anything else. However, they are closely related to me being a good husband.
As a Christian, I know that my wife is my church. I must love her as Christ loved the church. There is so much implication there. Just knowing what God did for the church, I know that I should never be able to do anything close to what He did, but I shall try.
I will break down these two more tomorrow and try to answer some obvious questions. Thanks for reading.
