Priorities Matter Quotes

"Women often don’t take care of themselves because they forget, do too much for others or think it is selfish."

"Would we do anything kind or nice for someone else if we only did for them what we do for ourselves?"

"No one will simply hand you time to have fun, spend time with friends or develop your dreams & passions. You have to create it."

"There is peace in the yoke with God. If you’re tense, moving fast, shoulders are not relaxed; stop and seek Him." -Jim May

"Are you an introvert or an extrovert? It really depends on how you get recharged."

I Know I'm Right

“Confirmation bias is the tendency of humans to seek information that confirms an already held belief or opinion and to avoid or discount information that might contradict an existing belief or opinion.”

Let’s say you believe that where you live is absolutely the worst place. When this is your belief you look for things that are wrong. You pay attention to the buildings that need painting instead of the great friends you have met a church.

“When we're under the spell of confirmation bias, it's easy to miss turning points because we're stuck on our current belief or opinion and won't change even when we see contradicting evidence.”

Because all you can see is the negative, you miss the great parks and historical sites that are around your new location. Even when you learn something new and good you refuse to change your opinion.

“How do we overcome this pull? Here are two keys that could help:

1-Acknowledge that confirmation bias exists. Knowing that it exists helps us try to avoid falling into its trap.

2-Actively seek contradictory opinions.”

To change your view of your situation, you first have to admit you are biased. You really liked the last place you lived and this place is just different. 

Once you admit that it is not the same you can actively start looking for what is good in the new location. Ask others what they like about this place and what really neat things they have discovered here. Be open to new ideas.

Until you acknowledge that you are biased you will keep seeing things exactly the same.

No Time For Really Living

No time for Bible Study!

You feel angry, frustrated and not at peace. The Bible says to be imitators of God, but how do you imitate God if you don’t know Him and what He does?  Believe what God says. Do what you know is right. Talk with God every day. Learn to follow Him. Study His Word and spend time with Him.

No time for your health!

It is hard to control your tongue when you feel worn out, tired or sick. Instead it is much easier for you to get angry, fretful and worried instead. When you get the rest you need, you won’t find it as difficult to speak words which build others up instead of harmful words. Take care of yourself and develop the energy to take care of those you love.

           

No time for your husband!

Frequent misunderstandings happen when you don’t spend enough time with your husband. Plan regular time to talk without the kids and do a fun activity together several times a month. Treat your husband like your best friend. Be polite and forgive him for what you wish he would do, but doesn’t. Meet your husband’s needs and see him shower his love back on you. 

No time for your children!

Arguments, backtalk and fights happen when your children clamor for your attention and discipline. Well defined rules allow your children to feel safe. Take the time to listen to your children and they know you care deeply for them. Find time for family fun each week. Make the sacrifice; spend time with these precious ones God has entrusted to you.

             

No time for your home!

Messes cause stresses. Your home is the place where you and your family rest, relax and play. Would Jesus feel at home living with you, or do you need to make changes in how you live? Take two minutes and clear off the first place you see. Make a weekly dinner plan and shop your plan. Organization and a little planning clear your mind and help you think on the good things in your life.

No time for yourself!

Do not harbor bitterness or anger against yourself. Instead renew your mind with the truth of who God thinks you are: His beautiful creation and precious child. That makes you infinitely valuable. Speak to yourself with words which build you up. Forgive yourself for the mistakes and errors you have made. Take care of yourself.

 

Say “No” to the things which cause your priorities to be wrong. Say “Yes” to God and the right things in your life.

See Ephesians 4:17- 5:2 for additional clarity on living a new life for God.

This is written to soccer parents from their kids, but I think it really applies to all parents whose kids are playing sports.

Hi, all you soccer parents (and grandparents) out there! Wondering what’s the right way to encourage your kids on the field? Here are some tips from the players’ point of view.

1. We like it when you cheer, but don’t’ go overboard. No horns, no whistles, no crazy shouting. It’s distracting.

2. Please try no to coach us while we play. That’s the coach’s job. We trust our coach. You should too!

3. We totally know every mistake we make. You don’t need to remind us after the game or point out what we can do to improve.

4. Please, please don’t yell at the refs. Embarrassing!

5. Don’t yell at the other team, even if you think they‘re playing rough. It doesn’t help.

6. Most of all, be positive. Have fun and let us have fun too! When you love and support us, it makes everything better.
