This week I chose to write about "A Raging Battle". Our prompt stated, "Food isn't the only thing that tempts to destroy our physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. What other things do you currently crave more than God?".
Mine may sound crazy. I touched on it in my post titled "One Little Word". I have been so overwhelmed with trying not to fail in everything I do that I have craved success more than God. However in this craving success, I have let my family, friends, and mostly God down.
Through my work, I have not allowed much time for God. I quit going to church on Sunday and Wednesday nights, because I was overwhelmed creating these amazing lesson plans for school. I quit using my musical talents at church, because I did not have time to practice due to long hours at work. I quit having alone time with God in the mornings, because I would check my e-mails first thing and run out of time for Him. The list could go on and on.
I want to let my light "SHINE" in 2014 by putting God first in every avenue of my life. I know when I do this that everything else will fall into place. I know it is important to be a good teacher, but my relationship with God should come first. I want my students to be able to see the love of God through me, because I may be the only person that they see this from.

What do you currently crave more than God?
