priorities and compromise

oh my gosh...it has been a long time since i wrote in this silly thing. stuff gets in the way......and then procrastination sets in.......then just pure laziness. priorites. oh, and i forgot....also no one was reading it. sometimes i think that no one really cares. oh well.....one more post. it might be a while before another one.

it seems that everyone has a different set of priorities. it seems that ones priorities can ruin your life.....any life.

so what drives people to choose to do one thing vs another? not quite sure. what i am sure of is that something you like doing surely moves it up in the list and something you do not like moves it down.

but what then about feelings for another? shouldn't that count for anything? so even if you like doing something, you sacrifice that thing when someone you care for wants to do something else!!!!! what is that all about. you would think thats the way it should work. sometimes.....and sometimes not!

so what does that say about the relationship? is it doomed? is there any chance? i think the best word here is compromise. but how do you teach that? how do you say it with love? jury is still out. no solutions. well......no quick solutions anyway. what has taken many years to break can not be fixed overnight.

but what if it is too much work to fix it? can one person be strong enough to fix the whole thing? obviously not. it takes both. if there is not both, don't bother. just go your own way?

people will read this...what will they think? i will have to review all the comments before i let them up on here. that will take time. priority? hmmm.......

i will tell you what to think. think God. isn't very hard. in fact it seems to work in most or all situations. i seem to feel better already. prayer helps too....

what is it about God that makes it all worth it. we are God's first priority. we are his children. hmm.......does that mean that my children should be my first priority? most definitely! i just spent a couple of hours watching one if mine throw a softball. neat. in the rain! was not fun but did it anyway because of love for her.

sometimes efforts go unnoticed. what do you do about that? nothing. ask God, plant the seed, and wait...............................nothing more one can say about that. maybe there is. ask God to plant the seed in the right place............me! change starts inside yourself. absolutely the hardest thing in the world to swallow.

just started reading SEX GOD by Rob Bell. not about what you would think by the title. check it out. strange first chapter i will say. strange layout....nothing like it.
