There are a few things I really like to do:
- Play with my family! I love hanging with my girls, they are amazing! I can’t even begin to explain what a blessing my little girls are to me. I can’t start to help you know what an amazing woman my wife is! I love them so much!
- Working in the yard! Even though my yard looks kinda average, I like working in it. It is relaxing work to me.
- Spending time challenging people to take their next steps in faith. I love seeing the light go on in people’s lives when they realize that following Jesus is a better way. It encourages me in the BIGGEST way!
- I like working. Yeah, I said that, don’t get torqued at me if you don’t. I like what i get to do and count it an honor every single day. So much so that it can get me in trouble in other ways. Sometimes I even use working as an excuse as to why I can’t spend time with my family or why I can’t do something else.
I have a really hard time dealing with this sometimes. And while I know there are seasons in life where you may spend more time doing this thing or that thing, I feel like work is an intense yet never ending season, and it doesn’t bother me, until I realize that my family has to take center stage in my life.
Fact is, I have to remember that my girls will only be my little girls for a little while longer and I only get to watch them grow up once. Plus, only during this time in my life and theirs has God called me to be their Daddy in specific ways with no make-up games left to play after its all said and done. I want to make the most of these times….
What about you? How do you deal with this? What things do you love to do that sometimes get in the way of what matters most in life. In a few days I’ll come back and share with you what I do to make this happen, in the meantime, what do you think?
