Focus

Today's blog is a little bit like yesterday's in its topic but I think it's probably because it's what God has been dealing with me quite heavily in my life most recently. I started this semester out on a very positive note. I wanted everything to be perfect. I was in a relationship that I thought was where God wanted me to be. I was ready to begin a new semester with my professors and after the semester I had previously had I knew it was destined to be a great one. As the semester began, the first day of classes was cancelled due to snow... We live in NC, we close for any snow! I thought it would be a good thing and it turned out great because I got to spend more time with my boy, just us being a couple.

Things were going really well we were spending lots of time together pretty much daily. But, when it all came down to it we were spending the time together but we were running out of things to say to each other. We both began to lose focus in the relationship. Don't get me wrong I didn't say we were losing focus on the relationship we were losing it in the relationship. We had lost focus on the most important thing in any Christian relationship and
that is your relationship with Christ. If Christ isn't number one in your relationship (and your life) then you have lost all perspective on what is important. So the relationship ended on good terms but we, even months later, only speak when we have to, which right now is probably for the best. I write all of this to say when Christ becomes no longer the number one focus in your life sometimes he will take away things until He feels you are ready to have them again once He is your focus. Things change in your life and many times it is because God wants to us to help us remember what is important in our lives and what is not so important (Matthew 6: 19-21). What is God taking your focus off of to focus on him more? What is God allowing you to focus on more and in turn are you still giving God the same glory and praise he had before?

Be Blessed,
Rebecca

Verse of the Day: Psalm 139: 13-14 For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother’s womb. I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well.
