Simplicity

It's time for a return to simplicity.

Priorities for the near future (in no particular order):

1. Discipleship - living the life of a disciple (first and foremost!) and making new ones. Taking care of me - relationship with Jesus, health, priorities; and taking care of others - community group, family, friends.

2. Heather - an amazing, great gift of a woman God has given who I am absolutely in no way deserving of.

3. Reading - my bookshelf is chock-full of solid Christian books on theology, biographies, etc that I really need to read.

4. Writing - this is likely going to take the form of a new blog or book or some sort. Haven't figured that out quite yet, but I know that I have a gift here and it's high time I started actually using it for the glory of God and my joy.

Basically, a return to simplicity entails two basic principles:

-A focus on what is really important, which is the identity God has given me and what He's called me to do.

-Enjoyment of God and who He is, which is why I was created. Enjoyment of what I get to do rather than stuffing my calendar and my life full of things I feel I have to do.

That's it.
