Priorities

It's always good to step back occasionally and assess your life. I'm sure Heath thinks I do this WAY too often, as it is part of my type A, always trying to better myself, personality. I see it as not wanting to decompose!! I love to learn, I love to grow, even when it's painful.

Recently, I've been pondering the difference between "said priorities" and "actual priorities." As I'm looking at my life, I am realizing again, just how easy it is to let things take over that I don't really want to become priority. I say my kids and their education is priority, but how often do I let this computer have priority? I say that Jesus is my priority, but how much time compared to the time I give everything else am I really giving to Him? I say that my marriage is priority, but what am I actually doing to help it grow instead of simply settling for what it is and waiting for Heath to make changes?

So today, I'm really praying through my priorities. . . my actual priorities, and praising Jesus that his mercies are new every morning.
