What are my priorities?

                  Commit your activities to the Lord and your plans will be achieved. Proverbs 16:3

I am determined and encouraged by the Lord and my husband to pray every day and to commit my activities to the Lord.

Maybe you are like me and you over- commit yourself sometimes. Maybe you like me have all kinds of creative ideas on what you would like to do and whom you would love to spend time with. 

I am a people person and I love to be around my friends.

In the book "A woman after God's own heart", the very wise and wonderful woman called Elizabeth George talks about making sure that your priorities are right before God. She offers a great outline on what is most important in our lives as wives and mom's.

1. Loving Jesus with all of your heart and following Him

2. Loving my husband, helping and serving him

3. Loving my children, raising and disciplining them

4. Loving my home and making sure that it offers them a place of rest and refreshment

5. Educating myself so as to pass something on to others

6. Loving God's people and serving them

I also found this great quote by Charles Ryrie who states, “We [must] say ‘no’ not only to things which are wrong and sinful, but to things pleasant, profitable, and good which would hinder and clog our grand duties and our chief work.” 

Lord, help us to commit our lives to you daily. Help us to submit our desires to you and empower us by your spirit to live for what is most important. Help us to be faithful where you have planted us.

In Jesus Name!
