Colossians 1:3-6,9-14

"We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you, since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love that you have for all the saints, because of the hope laid up for you in heaven. Of this you have heard before in the word of the truth, the gospel, which has come to you, as indeed in the whole world it is bearing fruit and growing--as it also does among you, since the day you heard it and understood the grace of God in truth.

And so, from the day we heard, we have not ceased to pray for you, asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so as to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God.

May you be strengthened with all power, according to his glorious might, for all endurance and patience with joy, giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in light.

He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins!"

I love these verses!
Make sure your priorities are in the right order and everything else will fall in place. It doesn't always fall into place easily, but it makes more sense this way! Keep God first. Don't let anything take his place. Relationships and the joy that comes from them should pale in comparison to the joy and pleasure that comes from God. It is often hard to keep this straight. Things on earth are here and now. Press on towards the prize. Thanks to Hannah for keeping me pressing on. Praying for you and love you! Sorry this entry is so scattered. I need to go do some school now. I don't have time to smooth it out.
