It was a very difficult decision to make for Mary, and she just couldn't figure out which way to go with it. Her heart was set on the medical field, but if she really pursued the career that she was so passionate about, she'd have to give up on the art she loved so much.

She loved to sing and choir had been one of the greatest experiences of her middle school life. She was able to continue into her freshman year with choir, but now, looking ahead at her sophomore year, she didn't have the elective space that would allow her to continue in the class.

Mary sighed. "I don't want to give up on this just yet, but the medical field is what is best and it interests me so much," She said to herself, staring at the computer screen with her schedule opened up. "Gosh, who knew this would be so hard," She sighed and looked down at the keyboard. Heart aching, she scrolled over to where she had choir listed in her electives and deleted it, replacing it with "Medical Terminology."

"It's what's for the best," she told herself. "I'm sure I'll learn to enjoy this as much as I did choir."

Moral: I've had to make this decision myself with choosing my elective course and what classes I'd be taking in the future. I, myself, am in choir and I have enjoyed it, but I have also, like Mary, come to the conclusion that it doesn't contribute to my career goal and ultimately had to prioritize and replace choir with something that would help me further my writing. It wasn't really that hard of a choice considering I'm really bored with choir at the moment (I'll admit though, I'm really gonna miss those elegant and modest choir dresses...), but I know for someone else it would be a pretty difficult decision. Prioritizing is hard.

Now, Blue, what does this have to do with God?

Well, have you ever had to give something up for your faith? Even something small, a bad habit? Maybe the type of music you listened to? Well, I've been faced with this sort of situation recently where I had to choose between giving up God or giving up something that was distracting me from Him. It is hard to prioritize when you have to choose between things you love, but if you find yourself unwilling to give something up then you may be guilty of idol worship. This is hard to deal with, but you have to prioritize. Which is more important God or your dog? God or anime? God or your favorite book series?

These are all smaller examples, but God will value even these small sacrifices. Make sure to check your heart and remember that God should be your main priority.


Ok, so, I just wanted to let you guys know about my writing schedule for this year. I will focus on one story at a time and (hopefully) finish one story every month. This, of course, does not include Walk By Faith, Prayers, and The Tears Of God, but it will be a little while before I post a new Bible fanfic depending on how everything works out. I am bringing this story back and hopefully God will provide for me things to write about. Anyways, God bless!
