Oh...how I dislike this word! I dislike being distracted more than almost anything....sad thing is I am distracted nearly every day, especially when I have not been in the Word and praying through everything that might be ahead. It frustrates me to no end to know how much time I waste in a given day on things that do not matter or are not plausible. I have had many conversations with the Lord on this issue, because I believe it is truly the thorn in my side. He designed my mind and my emotions which is why I can not second guess Him...
At the end of the day people matter to me. Conversations matter to me. Does this overshadow the purposes of the Lord? In this life yes...at times...I am about what is around me instead of what IS. I am not constantly thinking this person I have just met might not know Jesus...instead I am thinking about the unfinished conversation with someone else or the fact that things look different than I envisioned them to look at this point in my life.
I believe the Lord works all things out for His glory....and that is why I am asking you all for prayer....that my mind would be focused on the things that matter...the things of Him...and not things that I can not change. I want to live a life that matters for the One who created me....free of distractions...but I know the Lord allows that...my prayer is that I'll recognize when Satan takes control of this area and diverts my attention and allegiance off the One who does matter. Thank you for praying.
At least you now know why these posts are so random. My mind does not stop. Thank you for baring with me!

Whoa! I'm guilty of this big time. Thank you for sharing.
See I was distracted or maybe at my age it is memory. Yes, I'll be praying for you.
