FOCUS

Focus is key. "Focus" is the Pee Wee Herman word of the season I think?

I feel like yelling "Aaaaaaahhhhh!" every time I hear it referenced in conversation, discussion, reading, etc. Why? Because there's an obvious life lesson/hurdle that the Creator wants me to grasp and understand and until then it will be the central lesson of my world...
It's simple and complex. Focus.

Does that mean in my work? Obviously. Does that carry over into my mothering? Definitely. Can it translate over and into my marriage? Certainly. But most importantly the clouds are parting to reveal that Jesus Christ himself is asking me to FOCUS on Him.
Remove all the noise and day to day drama and be still.
Be still and know that He is there and He is God.
My biggest "Ah ha moment"

(thanks Oprah. I now feel like she branded that saying) is this:
"...The ultimate goal God has for us is not power but personal intimacy with Him. Yes, God wants to bring us healing, but more than anything, He wants us to know our Healer. Yes, He wants to give us resurrection life, but more than that, He wants us to know the Resurrection and the Life." (Beth Moore)

So I am focusing my thoughts and my attention on this, realizing that our Savior doesn't NEED us but our God WANTS us. That's intense. I'm letting that sink in. Re-wiring myself to understand that it's all about seeking out Him above EVERYTHING else. We do not have a "genie in a bottle" God but a God that has such an intense love for His children that He sacrificed Himself completely that we may truly understand and trust in the great "I Am".

p.s. at some point I'll post more artwork too ;) This life lesson if far more important to me. Thanks for reading it.
