The more I look at my interests, the more I begin to realize that I'm into things that have really no lasting value. While the things that I like (jewelry, shoes, clothing etc) have nothing really wrong with them, I find that my attention has been stolen away by them from what really matters. I'm the type of person that once I'm into something I can go overboard. But I've noticed that even though I love God and have a relationship with Him, I don't go overboard into studying the word or spending time in prayer to Him. This is something that I desire above all the greatest deals I can find at the thrift store. But I feel like it's something that is truly eluding me. And as my husband always says you can't go based off feelings. I know that if I truly want a deeper realationship with my Father, then I must do something I never done before. I have to redirect my focus on Him and Him alone and let everything that steals my time away be put away for a little while. That way my life can be brought back into balance and my focus can be on the one who died and rose again.
