The Everlasting Way

Life is good. Let me tell you why. Though I just broke my wrist and will probably have a cast for 3 months and work is really picking up (and stress levels there) I've been experiencing a lot of joy. How is that? Well, I've been trying to refocus myself on the important things in my life or my priorities you might say. Now, I'm still learning how to do that with my time but I'm getting better at determining what I deem critical in my mind's eye. So, basically I'm deciding what things should matter most to me. To borrow something C.S. Lewis once said, "Everything that is not eternal is eternally useless." Good point C.S. Well, this means that when I am not setting time aside each day to spend with the Lord then I am clearly missing the point and have become totally ineffective in my faith because I no longer serve one master. Doing such a thing means I have allowed myself to be distracted by the flashy lights in the world and am most likely walking without a purpose. These are the thoughts I've been having lately. I'm not sure what has awakened me from my slumber as a Christian but I am thankful for it regardless. I named this post the everlasting way because thats the name I have given the path of thinking I want to seek. I want to focus as much of my thoughts as possible on things that are everlasting... things that will not perish. My wife has been a great silent witness to me in that she has been consistent in having her own quiet times lately and though she hasn't nagged me about me not spending time with the Lord like I need to, I see that she is and it convicts me of it. I must confess that she is also a big reason for the great portion of the joy I have. It is such a blessing to have a loving wife to share life.

If you are reading this and you're a Christian also, I'd like to petition you for a quick prayer. I want to be ever increasing in my hunger for the Word and for fellowship with the Almighty. If you could say just a quick prayer for me, I'd appreciate it. Please drop me a line if you are in need of prayer yourself.

Peace. I encourage you to live in the everlasting way.
