Yippee a sleep in!

I must say I am extremely excited that I get to sleep past 5 am tomorrow! Although I know I am blessed to have a flexible second job working two jobs can be exhausting. As I have been chatting with friends and reflecting this past few weeks and considering what I am going to do with my free time (while it lasts!) I am reminded again of what I was created for... I was created to love Jesus with all I've got, to know him intimately and fulfill his will in my life...which ultimately is love those he puts in my path with a radical love. Everything else is temporary and when it is all over...the temporary things of this life become nothing and someone leaves us or we leave this earth what are we left with? We are left only with the memories we have from the time we have spent with them and where we have chosen to spend eternity. As I consider this I realize how often I am so often I way off the mark, I realize how often I fail at living out my purpose, what I was created for. I fail at prioritizing relationships and instead put temporary thing after temporary thing on top of relationships on the to do list. Why...why do I do such a thing when I know it ultimately just sucks the joy out of life? Why do I let the ways of this world suck me in so easily...because I am not being intentional about the things I know in my heart are correct and vital for this life here on Earth. So as I am eager to get a bit more sleep I am more eager about getting back in control of my life and putting the important things in life up front and center, starting with Jesus and moving on from there and where he directs me.
