Yesterday, while sitting in Dr. Ken Spring’s office on the third floor of the Wheeler Social Sciences building, one of my favorite professors from undergrad asked me, “what is your focus?”

I am somewhat embarrassed to admit this, but it took me nearly a minute to scrounge up a semi-legitimate answer to this seemingly simple question.

I know what I want to be my focus–or more likely, Who I want to be my focus–but with the daily distractions (which are both “good” and “bad”), I have come to realize that I have to make a daily choice to focus and re-focus and re-focus.

When it comes down to it, while I have lost my focus right now, I have not lost hope. I know that I desire for my focus to be on God and His will and ways. I also know that I am passionate about people and that assisting others in their attempt to find and live out their dreams and passions is another focus that I do not want to lose sight of.
