“For me this last year has been a lot of eliminating in my life..the Lord has helped me to get my priorities in order..cause a lot of times the things we do are not really things that we need to be doing in our lives..not saying the things that we are doing are bad..Amen..but as well we only really get in between 14-16 hours a day to do the things that we really need to be doing..and when we have lots of extra things that we get accumulated in our lives then that steals away a lot of them 14-16 hours that we do have..Amen..

so elimination started taking place..and honestly I look back and I think to myself, Lord, when did I actually have the time to do those things that I was doing..but for me I sat down and wrote my list..so here are my top ten priorities in my life..Amen..and for you they may look a little different..but I do hope that whatever your list is that they are worthy of your time, energy and effort that you place into them..Amen..that the things your doing is not wasteful time..but it is making a difference in your life..and in the lives of them ones in whom your around..Amen..so here goes mine..

1.) Jesus 2.) Erik (hubby) 3.) Anthony (son) 4.) Benjamin (puppy dog) 5.) home 6.) Family & Friends 7.) church 8.) my devotional 9.) text messages (to my family and friends for encouragement) 10.) work..

so there goes my list..and for me those are the most important things in my life..and I want to have the time to make for those things and daily so..and when I keep the extra things..and I add to my plate of life so to speak..I fall short from being able to take care of them things..those important things in my life..those gifts that the Lord has given to me..Amen..and I never want to be so busy just doing stuff..that I don’t make time for that list above..Amen..

for you see the enemy wants to get us busy with stuff..because when we’re busy we are just that..busy..doing stuff..and as I said the things or the stuff may not be bad stuff..but please make sure that your stuff of life as well includes the Lord and your family and friends..that they include the personal things in your life that you truly love to do..Amen..

so my heart for you all is that you sit down and write out your list..the top ten in your life..those things that mean so much to you..and if that list of your life is not where it needs to be then just start making some adjustments..even small ones are better then none..Amen..because once again one life is all we have to live..and we live them for Jesus..and we live them by taking care of those important things..and no one else can do that for you or for me other then ourselves..so let us keep the list and make sure to take time to look it over every now and then..making sure that we are still on track..

cause it’s easy to get off track..and never even know it..Amen..so the Lord says to us to write it down..make it clear..and then run with it..Habakkuk 2:2..keeping watch over your life..keeping everything in the way it should be..and the way it should be going..for I don’t know about you..but over my life I have failed at doing this very thing..but to be honest I don’t want to fail at it again..for my life means a lot to me..and I want to protect it and build on it a great one..no regrets when it’s all said and done..Amen..

I pray you all feel the same..so let us make the most of our 14 to 16 hour days that we have..Amen..for it is in His name, Jesus’ name, that I do ask and pray..Amen and Amen..Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi
