Your Question:
What's the best way to prioritize my needs?
Answer:
As a pastor and a husband, I've learned that prioritizing our needs is crucial in maintaining a healthy and balanced life. I've come to realize that it's essential to evaluate our use of time on a regular basis to ensure that we're not squandering the gift of time. This involves setting priorities, examining for inefficiency, and starting at the bottom and cutting. In my experience, setting priorities means intentionally bringing everything we do under the lordship of Christ. This means that my wife, Susan, and I prioritize our relationship with God, our family, and our church. We make time for prayer, Bible study, and serving others. By doing so, we're able to integrate every aspect of our lives and avoid compartmentalizing between sacred and secular activities. As a husband and father, I've learned that it's essential to prioritize my family's needs. My wife and children are my top priority, and I make sure to spend quality time with them. Whether it's playing chess with Joshua, reading science fiction novels with Rebecca, or attending a Chicago Cubs game together, I prioritize time with my family. By doing so, I'm able to demonstrate to them that they are valued and loved, and that our relationship with God is the foundation of our family's priorities.
