In this beautiful and expansive world we live in there is so much that calls our attention.  It is easy to get caught up in the frenzy or put our attention on something else before we have finished taking in the first thing that called our attention.  I am pretty good at staying focused.  When I set out to do something and make a decision I am able to stay focused.  Add a little stubbornness in there and I am good to go. 😉  The real question is what is centering me?  What am I anchoring myself to while I am focused on the task or purpose?  This is where having God as my center keeps me on track.  I need that because as I am working towards something I will hit bumps in the road that will jerk me off course and cause me to lose sight of my center.  I will need to remember from where all this power and focus comes from–my center.  If God is my center in everything then nothing can truly knock me off-course because I am grounded.  When I make the focus or the goal my center then I have made the outside circumstance, person, or situation more important than God.  It may be God that is drawing me to that desire or goal but not so that I make that outside entity my god.  It takes self-discipline and patience not to lose my center.  The beauty of God is that when I do go off-course, He is ready and willing the moment I get centered again.  My prayer for you today is that you have the courage to look at what you focus on and ask yourself if your focus is also your center (God).  Make it a great one!  Peace~Colleen
