Confusing Times

I don't always understand the way God works, but I am beginning to realize that this doesn't matter.  I am a rash, hormonal, passionate person that really needs to take more time to reflect and review before making decisions.  This seems to be one of the greatest difficulties in my life.

I wish that my life looked perfect. BUT, knowing that I am human and that I am a sinful person dictates that it won't be.  I am to pursue righteousness and holiness, but I will screw up.  I am covered by the blood of Christ.  

This past week I have been reading in my personal time through the book of Matthew and in church we have been going through Ecclesiastes... it's amazing to me how God uses those times to direct and challenge me and how these times oddly connect together and enable me to have a greater perspective.  

This is a jumble of a blog post.... but it's my random thoughts of today.

Why is it... 

The most important relationship in my life is my life with Christ.

Then Why is it that I have neglected it the most throughout my life?

We know what's unhealthy for us in terms of diet, relationships, etc.

Then Why is it we subject ourselves to those unhealthy things anyways?

We say that money is not the most important thing.

Then Why is that when people ask us how we are doing we respond most often in regards to our financial situation (or some deviation of it)?
