Humility

I try to learn something about myself.....about life, every day....
Today was a new lesson..
This has been on my mind for a couple of months now and I have been searhing for an answer that was right in front of me.  An answer that I have known for a long time. 
I have been investing tons of hours studying for this promotional exam.  I am caught up in it.  It would be safe to say that I have become obssed with perfection on this test and I am putting in all the time and effort in order to put my best foot forward on test day...

The thing that has been on my mind lately is "why haven't you invested the same amount of time with your family and your walk with God?"  I will be honest, it has been a troubling few weeks pondering this question. 

The way I see it my priorities are out of whack.  I can see myself walking into the test and doing well because I was prepared.  How much greater would my walk be if I prepared the same way during my time with God?  How much better would my marriage be if I invested the same amount of time with my wife?  How much greater of a father would I be if I spent the same amount of time with my kids?

Time to get my priorities in check!
