Devoted to Prayer

So how is everyone doing? Great I hope!!! I am doing fantastic! Today was awesome because for some reason I really liked how it was rainy and cold outside and just felt like a nice day to stay inside and be nice and warm and cozy. :) Well I am finally getting my room unpacked after waiting some time for a dresser to arrive, which is very nice because I've been walking around boxes now for over a week.
At the beginning of 2006 I will be going on a missions trip to the Philippines with Grace Brethren Church in Waterloo. It's a small team of only about 8-10 people but pray that God will do BIG things through us for His glory. Sooooo unbelievably excited about the trip! Please pray for support financially and prayerfully.
OHHHH!!! I got my car back on Friday!!!! I was extremely excited to have it back. Yeah I know it's not too good how attached I can get to it at times. It all is going to burn at some point and time, but I really am enjoying while it's not to that point yet. :)
Hmmm....so I was reading the WORD today in Colossians and came across a really good reminder for maintaining a good relationship with Christ. There must be some sort of communication to have a relationship and I think it is in Chapter 4 that Paul says "Devote yourselves to prayer." So then I asked myself, "what am I devoted to?" Jobs, church, friends, family, cell phone, car, clothes etc... There are times where I tend to put the present and visible items before the unseen and what really matters in life; (talking to God). Therefore be far more devoted to prayer (to communicating with God) than some other aspect of your life because everything else is basically meaningless. :)
