Sometimes life seems to have me in a constant state of being overwhelmed.
Being overwhelmed by the many things I have to do.
Being overwhelmed by my responsibilities as a son, a brother, a missionary, a friend, a household head, a leader, and the list goes on.
I’m sure many of us can relate to this feeling in at least one occasion.
I went to mass today and I realized i couldn’t focus. I was listening but i couldn’t process anything because I was thinking of the things I have yet to do.
I’ve been struggling with this for a while now and it’s gotten progressively worse since I became a mission volunteer. I’m trying to think about so many things at once that I overload my thoughts.
I was talking to a brother today and the Lord really spoke to me through him. He said “I really need to focus more”. The truth is I really need to focus more.
The thing about focusing is that you cant focus on many different things. The whole point of focusing is to find a focal point in which to center your attention.
The only true focal point that we should have in our lives is God and nothing else. I truly believe that He is calling me to focus on Him. To see through all the things in my life as I look at him in all His glory; simply because everything that we are and everything that we do is for His greater glory.
To focus is not to ignore the things that are happening in your life but to face the realities of it; to taste, see, and experience God through it. This is what he is calling me to do moving forward.
Everything we do should be for Christ. Only then can you consider yourself focused.
