Straight Ahead

"Look straight ahead and fix your eyes on what lies before you." Prov 4:25

When I look straight ahead I see Jesus and Jake and Eli. God has called me to pursue a relationship with Jesus, and to do the best I can to give Jake and Eli healthy diet, and healthy activity, in a patient, fun, relaxed atmosphere. When that is all I'm focused on I am at peace. When I start looking to the sides and noticing all the things I don't have that I want, or what God is doing in other peoples' lives that I wish he were doing in mine I become bitter, jealous, and hurt. God knew it would be this way for us and that's why he gave us a book full of his wisdom to teach us to get our focus where it needs to be. I'm so thankful that God reached out to us all through the Bible and that he still reaches out to us individually today.

"For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified." 1 Cor 2:2
