What's Your Focus?

As I embark into another year of homeschooling I am reminded that God should be first in all I do.

Before I check my FaceBook status, before I roll out of bed and eagerly jump for joy as I'm preparing for my day I need to FOCUS on the Creator.  FOCUS doesn't have to be a chore, neither does it have to be a burden.  When we FOCUS on the giver of Life, He gives Life. 

It's as if He's waiting for us every morning, ready to breathe life into us, but we so eagerly want to start our day without that perfect breathe. Without that Life Force that sustains us through whatever life throws our way, we want to FOCUS on Me, My Wants, My Needs, Mine, Mine, Mine!!!

Remember Adam and Eve?  A perfect masterpiece; Adam, God breathed life into. In my mind I picture a person being resuscitated (yup, that's the Nurse in me).  Just like when someone needs CPR and the other person breathes into them to give them oxygen, that's the way I see God giving life.  He gave it and so do we.    

It's that FOCUS that brings me back from my selfish desires, (the Me, Myself and I) and with my Palms Up, I'm ready to say "Yes God!"   When I FOCUS on God, everything else seems to disappear.  The loneliness fades, my thoughts become His thoughts, my Spirit starts to work in line with God's will for me and my family.  As trials come, I can embrace them with open arms and say, "Jesus, take the wheel."

Uncertainties that linger in my mind are replaced with his assurance that "I make all things new."

This week I will FOCUS ON:

HIS LOVE, 

HIS GRACE, 

HIS MERCIES THAT ARE MADE ANEW EVERY MORNING 

AND RELY ON HIS STRENGTH TO SEE ME THROUGH.
