first things first

The title of this blog is 'From longings to matters'
I don't post much lately, but it is because there is work happening behind the scenes.
It's because I am listening and learning much about God and about his timing.
And because I'm trying to figure out the priorities. I always have trouble with the 'first things first' order, I am easily distracted and lack discipline.
I lack discipline to start something. When I am already doing it, I have a lot of discipline. I think I lack discipline because I don't know how exactly to start with some things.
What helps me to discern what is more important is this bible verse:
Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness...
This helps me prioritize. For what God wants for us is very good. (And what do we want for God?)
He wants awesome things for us, even bigger cooler things that we ourselves imagine. Yes, because he actually loves is very very much.
I just want my needs, wants, desires, longings etc. to match up with His. Because if they don't, i am 100% certain i will get disappointed and burnt up, wasted time and effort.
