Focus
I don't know about you, but I let so much steal my focus. I wake up in the morning and say, "OK Lord. Today I am focused on doing YOUR work and writing for YOU." I start my worship and praise. I am doing what I need to do to get my son ready for school. Then I wake him up, usually a struggle. Then I allow everything else to distract me. I drop him off at school. I get home and say I will eat breakfast, watch a quick show while I eat, then I will sit at the computer to write and pray. Then comes the next distraction. Sometimes it is the TV, sometimes it's worry, other times it's looking at the house and seeing it needs to be cleaned. Then I let it ALL overwhelm me and I don't do anything. I sit and I let it flow over me and drain everything out of me. I want so bad to please Abba Father that I become upset with myself and think well what good is it now for me to do anything. King Jesus Christ said we are to be like the virgins and have our lamps ready at any
