Priorities

So tonight we talked about priorities at bible study...it was an interesting discussion. there were 3 things the chapter talked about...one is that as women we sometimes believe that we can do it all which we really got into who's priorities are we following ours? other peoples? or God's? It really got me thinking about my priorities in life and who's i'm putting first. Sometimes when i really take the time (like i need to) to talk to God more regularly, and listen to him, it seems that I actually put God's priorities first...that's when life seems to have more purpose and peace.

another part of the discussion also went with this was talking about taking time to spend regular time with Jesus thru reading my bible and prayer. It really tied in well with the first part.

The 3rd part was interesting. the author talked about the priority of staying home with your kids. this was definitely more controversial. I totally got her point, but think she took a really extreme stance and didn't make it well. it was an interesting conversation.

i'm left this evening with lots of thoughts about my priorities. what i'm putting first in my life and my overall life mission/goals/purpose. am i putting God's 'to do' list first? or mine? who's are you putting first?
