This image of a jar with rocks, pebbles and sand came to mind to me this morning. I realized that part of why I've been feeling so "off" lately is because I'm not learning to appropriately prioritize the things in my life. It's not that the important things aren't valuable to me, but I just end up putting silly little things first and can't fit the big things into my day.
This is particularly the case in my walk with God. I notice it especially at night when I should be going to sleep. I would say protecting time to meditate on God's goodness as well as rest and sleep for my body should be considered "large rocks". Instead I would spend too much time putzing around on the internet and going from video to video...further stimulating my overworked brain and making it harder to sleep.
I hope to reverse this and start to put the "big rocks" ahead of anything else. What are the big rocks in your life that you are (inadvertently or otherwise) replacing with sand?
