The past few months I have had a hard time concentrating on doing the “task at hand”.  I have referred to my many lists and tried (in vain) to complete every task each day.  My husband (the best husband in the world) has been my daily encouragement by praising those things that I have completed.  But I have found myself doing the “unimportant” things just so I could scratch them from my list.  I jump from one thing to another and get very little accomplished.  I am majoring on the wrong things!  It is as if I have “spiritual ADHD”!  Yesterday I came to realize that my main focus in life is not what I have been working towards.  My purpose, my focus is to reach others for Jesus Christ!  It isn’t to have two wonderful kids; it isn’t to beat cancer; it isn’t even to plan a great event.  It is to reach others for Christ!  This past Sunday, a wonderful lady in my Sunday School class prayed a simple, but profound prayer.  It went something like this:  “God, when Satan can’t make us bad, he makes us busy.  Keep us from that.”  Philippians 3:13b-14 says, “…Forgetting what is behind (my “tasks for today) and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal (reaching others for Christ) for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.”
