Priorities in Today's Life!

You know....I have had some issues lately. These aren't my normal issues either. One issue I have is about priorities. We all have them and I guess we label each priority different. In today's lifestyle, we are all running around, taking our kids here and there, trying to get to appointments, going to extended family functions, and trying to make everyone happy. We don't know whether we are coming or going! Our tail is trying to catch up with our head!

Where does our priorities take us? Are we happy when we meet them? Are we happy when other's meet theirs? My priority may differ than someone else's priority....I guess.

When we have special occasions in our life, we expect family and friends to make 'our' day 'their' priority. And when those expectations don't get met, we tend to question their reasons. Then when the next special day comes, we may not invite them.

I know this is Satan working in my head, and it has been eating at my soul for a very long time. Over the weekend, I attended a Women's Retreat with my church. I had such a great time! The best thing though, is when I gave my issue to God! I am praying He takes this heartache away from me. I pray over time, He shows me the way to feel and to have more compassion for others who may have different priorities than mine. I feel very selfish over this hurt...but it is a feeling I just can't shake without the help from God!
