Perspective is Everything

I just read a post by a friend referencing the depravity of man.  His post made me stop in my irritated, tired tracks for a minute to refocus my perspective on what really matters.  I have had a busy day, I feel like I cannot get caught up on my housework, homework, lesson plans etc.  Too many things to think about, not enough brain power.  What happens when the circuit is overloaded?  It shuts down.  That is what I want to do.

I was headed to the couch to spend some time recharging my spiritual life when I popped on the computer real quick and read his post.  Right, right, it isn't about me.  God doesn't care if my house isn't vacuumed or even if my vacuum has been sitting in the middle of the living room for a week waiting for me to walk by and turn it on.  He wants me to care for my family.  He doesn't care if I have the best lesson plans and most creative lessons ready for school, he wants me to love the little people in my class.  He doesn't care if I maintain a 4.0 gradepoint, He wants me to be ready to be used when he places a new calling on my life. 

He doesn't want me to be distracted by, or feel pressure because of the technology in front of me, He wants me to spend time with Him... thanks John!
