Something I wanted to share as I was driving just a realization that I've had Uber the years that it's not always what I want to do that is the best way to spend our time sometimes you have to do what others want to do and that is the best way to spend your time

0:03
morning everybody so I'm driving out
0:06
right now to uh Indiana to get some beef
0:10
for our freezer um from a good friend of
0:12
mine who who raises cattle out there and
0:15
as I was driving I just uh had a little
0:18
thing put on my heart on the by the holy
0:20
spirit so I just wanted to share it with
0:22
you um so something I've been uh
0:27
struggling with for a long time is um
0:30
being selfish and in so much
0:34
that I'm not always just thinking about
0:37
myself but I always always always have
0:40
prioritized my own interests and my own
0:44
things that I wanted to do and didn't
0:47
want to do and my own will above the
0:51
will of pretty much everybody
0:53
else
0:55
so without having faith
1:00
maybe that uh attitude can seem
1:05
appealing in some ways you know oh you
1:08
got to take care of yourself you got to
1:11
uh pull yourself up by the bootstraps
1:12
and just do what you got to do that kind
1:14
of stuff and that that's where my mind
1:17
was for a long time but when you really
1:20
start praying and you start saying okay
1:22
God your will be done not mine which is
1:25
what we really all need to be doing cuz
1:28
at the end of the day his will be done
1:30
not ours but once we align to that and
1:33
we understand that then it's like okay
1:35
well with my family with my kids
1:38
too is not always my will be done I have
1:42
to lead them as the father of the family
1:44
but that doesn't mean they fall in line
1:46
and do every single thing that I ask
1:48
every single time I ask it and when I
1:50
ask
1:52
it sometimes we need to take a step back
1:54
and say what's best for them right
1:58
now what do I need to do to best serve
2:01
them is there something that they have
2:04
on their hearts in their will that they
2:05
want to do that I can help them do or I
2:08
can do with
2:10
them instead of what I want them to do
2:13
at this moment and that doesn't mean
2:16
just letting them go and do whatever
2:17
they want to do whenever they want to do
2:19
it you're still the father of the family
2:21
you still got to guide them and lead
2:23
them but
2:26
sometimes the things that you think need
2:28
to get done now
2:30
aren't the things that need to get done
2:32
now it's not the way your time is going
2:35
to be best spent especially as a family
2:39
and um just something to think about
2:41
next time you get anxious about oh man I
2:44
need to get this done I need to get this
2:46
done like one of the things for me on
2:48
Saturdays that's that's my day to get
2:50
stuff done but sometimes I'll wake up
2:53
and I'll have this thing in my mind I'm
2:55
going to get this done today it's going
2:56
to be awesome and
2:58
then kids are crying or they're hungry
3:01
or they want to go to the zoo or they
3:03
want to go to a
3:05
park or my wife says something you know
3:08
oh let's go shopping or I I would love
3:10
to go do this that um you know maybe you
3:13
need to watch the kids for a little
3:16
while it's tough but you got to learn to
3:20
be okay with that sometimes and then
3:22
other times no we we really got to get
3:25
this done today so again just a thought
3:29
