Focus

A word that is said in our house ALLOT-is

Focus.

Focus on the task at hand.  Whether it's cleaning up, homework, soccer, setting the table.
F O C U S.

I've found that my ability to say focus on what's important verses my ability to Stay focused on what's important are entirely two different things.

And the past few days I found myself focusing on my shortcomings (which is just a backward form of pride) instead of Jesus and all that He is.

I have found that Perfectionism is the enemy of both patience and grace.
And I lost my focus was only looking at what was wrong or what I couldn't do.

So I began praying "Jesus help me focus on who YOU are instead of what I am not."

In doing so I began writing down words that describe who Jesus is:
