It has always been a blessing to me to be able to serve others and though that may be a good thing I have realized that I must serve my family FIRST. I have failed at putting them first. The emphasis has been on things like "let's get the house cleaned well for the guests coming" instead of "we're going to clean our house well because WE deserve a clean house'.

So while I am home 98% of the time with my children that does not necessarily mean that my children get the best of me and that needs to change. If my children whom the Lord has given me charge over are not getting my best that ultimately the Lord is not getting my best.

Maybe you're like me and the time has come to reevaluate and make some priority changes. I'm looking forward to 2008 and what the Lord has in store for my family and I. I know it won't always be easy. It'll take a good chunk of self discipline, a continual turning my head so I'm not losing sight of the goal and some growing pains for sure.

Are you up for joining me and taking a close hard look at your priorities and making needed changes? Up for giving me a nudge if you sense I'm getting off course?

I needed a reminder of priorities! Thanks for the nudge! I accept the challenge, and I hope to take some time to really evaluated and set the priorities here.

I want to give my husband and my family my best! Lately, I'm sure I've been lacking in that. I pray my head clears in this area, and that I am able to set and maintain godly priorities for the days ahead.
