We can choose to focus on the problems or negativity in our lives or we can focus on Jesus the author and perfecter of our faith.

I have made a conscience decision to focus on Christ here in Haiti. I am choosing to silence the beast of my flesh that wants to look at negative things. Each day will hold it's own challanges. It is up to me how I will respond. 

I wrote this in April of last year. 

I need to remember this.

Every

Day!

How easy it is to become distracted. How easy it is to lose focus, to become discouraged, to let seeds of doubt and bitterness set in.

We all do it. That too is something to remember, because for me, the next thing will be guilt and condemnation. Self pity, self loathing. No longer focused on Him, the focus becomes me.
