This is how I feel starting out this Monday morning. 

It’s not too unusual though…with busy weekends filled up with fun stuff to do, it’s easy to lose sight of what needs to be done during the week at work.

The catch…I’m not talking about work.

I’m talking about my spiritual life and the priorities that surround it. 

Pete’s sermon yesterday hit me like a ton of bricks.  Our church has done and is planning to do AMAZING things to further God’s Kingdom.  Nothing less. This body of believers that I decide to hang with are amazing becuase they are always challenging the comfort level.  Always pushing to do more.  And I LIKE IT.  

I just feel like somehow, I’ve gotten my priorities out of whack.  Honestly, it’s more like being unfocused.  Not too long ago things were in focus…allowing God to work and allowing myself to be breathed into and all the while continually giving it back to God.  But here lately I’ve just had this lack of focus.  I’m still going through the motions and I’m not making radically bad decisions but I’m just not putting God’s Kingdom first. 

Well, yesterday God revealed to me that I need to get this right.  I need to use my talents for the right reasons.  I need to GET FOCUSED. 

There are millions of people who are lost in this world.  As Christians, we need to think and act locally, nationally, globally.  Pete announced that Crosspoint will be raising it’s missions budget by 1% each year.  Not just for local missions but for global missions as well.  As a church we are also adding another local project with Habitat for Humanity.  We also announced another satellite campus to be added in 2009.  This is a lot!  Kind of seems impossible.  Wait, not impossible.  At all.

Generally, I don’t like writing reactionary posts…especially to a Sunday sermon, but this morning I felt compelled.  I just ask God for focus.  I pray that as a church we can all share in focus to where He’s leading us.
