Priorities

I love the show Dancing with the Stars. I used to be a dancer and I love the art of dance. Tonight is the third week elimination, but I will not be watching.

Because as much as I love the show and the competition, I've got better things to do. I'll be hanging out with friends. Cheering on the Chorale softball teams.

Because people are ALWAYS more important than things.

I've been hearing a saying lately: "People were created to be loved. Things were created to be used. The reason why the world is in chaos, is because things are being loved, and people are being used."

This is so true. I love football. I love it when the Titans and the Vols win. But I will never put that between me and another Christian. It's just not worth it. My top priority is not things. It is people.

Sometimes people get on my nerves. Those of you who've known me for a while, know that I lacked tact and would tell people exactly how I felt when they got on my nerves. But now, I feel as if preserving their feelings is best. Unless it was really hurtful and spiteful, or said in bad spirits...it's not necessary to make them feel bad. They mean well. So I just let it go.

I want people to see me as a loving, kind, Christian woman. I want to put others first...and Jesus before anyone. Apparently now, I've got my priorities straight.
