What is your Greatest Pursuit in Life?

My greatest pursuit in life is God.  

I purposed this question a few months ago when i asked the difference between pursuing and seeking God.  What are you doing?

Now I felt God guiding me to write about what is your motivation while you are pursuing your goal.  Is it the blessings themselves?  Are they becoming your motivating factor?   Blessings should be an effect from the blessings that come from God.  It should never feel like the end game.  We should never feel that we now are all set because we received this one blessing.  Blessing are awesome and they weren't mean for them to give you a false sense of security of independent strength.  

Yes we receive this awe-inspiring blessing does the blessing become a driving force or does it become a by product from obeying God's word and commands he has for his children.

God always wants to rescue us.  Our motivation should not be focused on the money he blesses us with or any other attractive blessing.  Our true pursuit and motivation should be to seek God more.  Can you imagine our Heavenly Father loves to bless us because he knows eventually we will come to him and really talk to Him.  The question are you going to Him because you love and adore your Heavenly Father?  Or is it because you need more blessings?  Do you receive the blessing and then when you feel your independent weakness setting it you realize how much you need God again.

In life our society has created this independent persona.  As if we only need ourselves to be strong and to "take on the world".  This is extremely sad because all my Brothers and Sisters know how much they need our Heavenly Father.  

To be honest I started writing this tonight after reflecting on all the wonderful blessings that have come into my life this weekend.  I must remember not to get caught up in the attractiveness of the gift but in the giver.  The Giver is the one I desire, the one I Love.  If anything I don't want these blessings to stop not because it means I get more things but because it means I will press into Gods word and His presence like never before.

Changes

For those of you who don't know me I recently moved to a new town (a few thousands of miles away) to be near family.

Today I realized how much security I do not have.  I do not value security like society does.  At times I feel very alone and not really sure where God will lead me.

We just flew into town last week so the shock of this is where we will be living from now on is still fresh.  I do not have any friends here.  I am going to have to work very hard to get connected with other Christian people.  When you are taken from you comfort circle in a rather abrupt way it makes you scared and it can be very easy to resort to your "old self" ways.

I am also moving from spending the past 5 years as a stay at home Mom to having to work full time.  Writing out my resume the other day made me realize how many skills I do not have that potential employers look for.  I am finishing up my degree at a local Christian University which I know is something God has been leading me to for years but it took me a while to realize it.  I may be unemployed but I know I am leading a life full of purpose when I'm walking with God and not away from Him.

I have a deep desire to help other people, to teach others, about applying The Bible to their life.  So for now I will stick to writing about what is on my heart.
