Teacher Focused

"I will meditate on your precepts and fix my eyes on your ways"- Psalm 119:15 (ESV).

I may have been an undiagnosed ADH child. ADH wasn't heard of back then. I know I learned to sit in the very front of the class in order to stay focused on the teacher's mouth; learned that later in high school and college. Even now, out of years of practice, I still focus a lot on people's mouths when they are talking, so that I'm not distracted. I've been trying to retrain myself to look into people's eyes, but I catch myself, a lot, looking, once again, at their mouth. Spiritually, I've learned that I have to focus intentionally on God and His word or I will become distracted. I learned that later in life, too. God's been with me all throughout my life, but until I centered my focus on Him, the cares of the world pulled my attention away; yet, He continued to pursue me and one day I saw Him...really saw Him. Now my eyes, and heart, are centered on the Teacher, Jesus Christ, my Lord. "I will keep my eyes always on the Lord. With Him at my right hand, I will not be shaken" (Psalm 16:8).
