Especially since being told to leave our country it begs the question..."what did you accomplish over there?" I am learning (and this article has helped me just now) that focusing on intimacy with Christ rather than the results of my "work" is more important. Certainly within "intimacy" there are the obligations of loving wife, family and others that are there too and I can't "forsake" those God calls me to love claiming, "intimacy" with God. No...there is a tension (not a balance!) between my sinful flesh and the Spirit within me. Thank you for helping me along my journey.
