priorityGet Your Priorities Straight!

  1. Get your priorities straight with God.
  2. Get your priorities straight with your spouse.
  3. Get your priorities straight with your family.
  4. Get your priorities straight with your job, your time, your leadership…
  5. Get your priorities straight in that area or those areas that just popped into your head.

Decide how you would like each of these areas to look, embrace the cost and the loss… and go make it happen.  Don’t wait until tomorrow, get on the straight road today and Get Your Priorities Straight!

I need to get my priorities straight… Do You?  Share your thoughts?

    I am working on putting God first in my all and everything. Sometimes my priority has truly been my schedule. What I wanted to do. I was not very open to God Interruptions, they frustrated me. I had a schedule, I wanted it to happen that way. BUT GOD.. :) He is teaching me to “go with His flow”! It has been an interesting lesson and I am seeing as I make God my first priority, He is taking me on some pretty cool adventures with Him. Kind of like the question in Isaiah that He asks me daily: Will you not know? I am doing a new thing! Will you not know? I guess the choice I need to prioritize in my life is that I will know, I will follow God’s lead and not my own. Thanks for your blog! Enjoy your day!

    curious :: what is your take on prioritizing family vs church? can a family be overly committed to a church and neglect needs of their family? or is their commitment to church the purpose of their family…

    i feel ya on prioritization :: i feel ya on family :: i know their are alot of families dealing with time management between family and what CHURCH is to them… boom

    Kimberlymac- Thanks for the great questions and thoughts! And thanks for reading!
    iHateChurch- Family first otherwise your family will not be good for the church or as your name says the family could grow to iHateChurch!

    My problem, simply put, is that I have trouble keeping Jesus in the center of even the smallest aspects of my life/routine. Part of that I discussed in my last post,… hope you’ll check that out!

    Blessings,
    Michael!

    This is a topic my best friend and I discuss regularly. We both understand in order to achieve our goals we must keep our priorities straight. Priority number one being our relationship with Jesus. It’s the rest we have trouble with sometimes. Well, second is easy as well – the wife! Ha. But on a serious note, we are always encouraging one another to keep our priorities straight. So important.
