clarity.

i see more and more clearly.

friendship....is a gift.
marriage....is a gift.
family...is a gift.

our focus should be on eternal things.
but, perhaps God blesses us with someone to go through life together. yes, it may be difficult at times, but ultimately what a joy to share life with someone. no matter if it's a marriage or deep friendship.

may our focus not be shifted...
that's when our joy gets robbed. when we begin to focus upon ourselves more than God and others around us.

i know my focus was shifted. i was looking internally to needs i had.... not towards who God is and my response to him. it was all about me. when i get down and dirty w/ reality...that's the truth.

this life is not about me.
i'm scared for another relationship to come and shift my focus. but, all my worry can do nothing. all i am in control of is this very moment....what am i going to choose to focus on? that next decision....what am i going to say yes to? my flesh or the spirit?

daily. renew us each morning and remind us of your unfailing love. we are fickel. forgive me for my failings... thanks for letting me try again.
