Prioritize Your Needs

How involved are you in serving the Lord (Or, just keeping lots of balls in the air)?

It is easy to get so busy doing good things that you strikeout when swinging at the balls that really matter.

Most of us are busy—too busy, truth be told. Our world moves at a mad pace and we breathe hard to keep up with it. But we can control our time if we learn to prioritize our needs instead of just prioritizing our schedule.

By that I mean you set your priorities and build your life around them rather than the other way around.

Think of this as scheduling your priorities. List them. Mark out time for them. After that begin to work the demands of life into the remaining hours.  It won't be easy at first, but you'll learn along the way.

Time for God, personal refreshment, dates with your spouse and time spent with children are the only things you'll really regret if your time is swallowed up with other stuff. 

Make life work for you and it will work well.
