Who or What are you Commited to? Are you Really?

I honestly have to say that I have long ago stop making commitment. I do not know anymore if what I'm doing is commitment or not. I mean, I know my girls need me. I have to keep working, a house to tend to and I religiously attend church services every Sunday. I do not even have time for myself. Maybe, I can say that I have responsibilities. I take everything in stride and I tried to fulfill all my duties. All the while, my mind is thinking of something. I can't say that my heart is 100% committed to what I'm doing. I'm just tired, that's all.

I am committed to my children. and also God. I had a dream last night that i actually saw Jesus. It was weird i was in the back of this pick up truck and the girl driving saw Jesus and she plunged into the ocean. So we all had to swim out. I told her i thought she was testing Jesus to see if he would save us. I went by Jesus and told him Thank you for being there for us. he smiled and i moved on. Isn't that a weird dream??

Thank you for the websites. I have a commitment to God, my church, my family and friends, to my job and to others.

Hi faith , you have made a very good point here and have got me to thinking.I do have commitments such as to family,friends,and nature,by nature it covers a large area....I feel committed to my marriage...I have failed as to being commited to my church i must confess,i will explain,as you know i was raised with a strick church/religious back ground.I was commitmented to one church ,one pastor for years.That pastor passed away and since then i have found it hard to commit to one church.I am here at this town so that my husband can get treatment for his health...We will be leaving here probably in the next 2 months,and until then all i can do is just visit churches because i cannot make a total commitment to any one church at this time...I am however committed to God,even though i have not been able to have a steady commitment to any one church.I have a solid foundation as far as my belief in God,that i will never back away from.I have got certain standards and morels that I have been grounded and rooted in,and that will never change.I totally believe in getting into one church and staying there and putting all you have into that church.I will be trying to look when i return home for a church that i can get involved in totally..I do have devotionals delivered to me daily through e-mail....This is a very good post and hopefully will get us all to thinking very stronly about our lifes..

indeed, we seem to have much in common because I have a commitment to my family, my friends, my work, and GOD too. My family is the love I come from, the symbol of earth of the love who generated all of us, I mean the first love, I mean God. They are the people I can completely rely on and who i dedicate all my energy and never ending love. Then there are my friends, those few special people who bring light to my life and make it a better place. My work is one of my greatest passion. It means sacrifices but also inner satisfaction. And God is the resting thought, the light at the end of this strange tunnel that our life can be

Every person should have some commitment. I have a lot of commitment in my business, commitment to my clients, my family, my society and many else. Without a commitment given or taken one can't work. You have to commit to succeed in any field.

right now im committed to my school. instead of summer vacation, im having this On-The-Job training. as in my world turns different when this training started. i have t wake up around 4 in the morning and log in around 6:30. the training ends at 3pm. i wanted to spend my summer with my family but i just cant cause i have to live downtown. my parents house is a bit far from the inner of the city.

i am committed to my family, my freinds and so on. I am also committed to my work. I do passionately what I do. So I am committed to so many things.

I wasn't sure if I should respond to this considering our different religions, but I really like you so I will. =p I am committed to my Gods. I consider them and my relationship with them in all things I do, every decision I make, every step I take. My commitments to many other things (like nature) kind of stem from this commitment for me. I am committed to my husband, he has been very kind and very loving towards me, and I strive to show him the same. I am committed to my son, for whom my love is boundless. Every day I discover new and wonderful things about him, and my commitment to being a positive part of his life is something I take very seriously. I am committed to my friends, to being a loving and kind person they can count on, and always treating them well in every way. They are the family I never had in the people that are blood related to me. I am committed to making the world a better place, in helping others who are in the situations that I grew up in, in protecting anyone I can from having to suffer the things I have suffered. I have shown that commitment in the past through personal sacrifice (nearly getting my butt killed protecting someone) and through charity and volunteer work.

I am committed to GOD first and foremost! Then my husband and my children and family. Before I moved here, I was very active in my church, but I broke down. I guess overload. Maybe one day I'll get back to being that way, but I need to be where I am for now.

I am committed to my God and what a wonderful covenant we have! I am committed to my husband,I take my wedding vows seriously. I am committed to my local church, I am committed to the ministry that God has entrusted me,committed to the point that I know I'll be doing it full time soon.. I am also committed to my family-I love them so much, I committed my self to pray for them always and give love to them to the best of my ability.

It's an interesting question I have asked myself, from time to time. Like someone else said, I am more inclined to think that I have lots of "responsibilities," and some time back there was a light that went on for me that it seems like most people's lives (including my own) are SO jam-packed with "stuff" and "actvities" that it almost sabotages our ability to make genuine commitments... we're ALWAYS "on the run." Some folks talk about how people were "more committed" in the good old days, and I think that is actually TRUE on some level. Maybe it's just a rationalization on my behalf, but if you only have five "things" in your life, it is surely much easier to be commited to them, than if you have 50 "things." I think demands of our modern society spreads us humans "too thinly" to make the level of commitments with once did. Not saying we CAN'T just saying it is ever more challenging. I suppose if I have a single "constant" in my life (I think of that as being as close to true commitment as I can get) it is my drive to "be part of the SOLUTION, not part of the PROBLEM." I sometimes ponder my commitment to my exes... and wonder if it is truly "a commitment" if it's not reciprocal... and it didn't last.

I have committed myself to being a good mother to my kids Krista and Rocky, to be a good provider and supportive of their dreams and ambitions. I have committed myself to my boyfriend and promised to stay loyal and faithful to our relationship and wait patiently for his return. And lastly, I have promised myself to keep the commitments I have made and pray to God everday for strength so that I may stay true to all the commitments I am wiling to make.

I have commitments too..my first commitment to my God..i try my best to fulfil this commitment,although sometimes i've failed..But,i realized God had done so many things to my life,He guided me already until now,moreover He educated me many times to be more mature and wise..second commitment is my education..i've planned my future from now on .the others are family and friends..i can't say i always show my commitment because sometimes when the feeling has changed,i could break the commitment and did whatever i like..Now,i just hope,i'm able to hold my word through this commitment and learn to built my own dicipline..

Hi Faith, well I am committed to my faith in our Lord, family and friends, and I do adore nature. No I show my committment, in my life. Well this is right that a lot of people do not show committment to others unfortunately. I pray to God every day and thank him for being my guiding light in my lfe.

Well, I guess I am 100% committed to my partner, - I would do anything for him, and also to my 5 beautiful cats, and to my ageing, but still wonderful Father, who is still bright as a button and makes me laugh, at 81 years old. Also, as a vegetarian and believer in animal rights, I guess I am committed to making this word a kinder, better and fairer place for all living creatures - not just humans.

Gee, when you see it in black and white like that it sort of makes you take a good look at yourself. I have to say the only thing I'm committed to is my pets and Mylot. Does that mean my life is empty or....just what does it mean?

I am commited to God, for sure. As a christian. I am also committed to friends, family. I think my top committment though is not those but pets. People can take of themselves (unless they are little kids none of those named are!) but pets they cant do a thing for themselves. I have a cat, dog, and a hamster (my newest!) I also take care of the 2 fish, and now 1 african dwarf frog (1 to come soon we hope) that live in my room (but belong to my sister). I am committed to reading my bible and praying each day (but sometimes I dont do it every day), I am committed to blogging a few times a week. And I'm even committed to writing mostly poetry. I cant help the poetry and have to write it no matter what. In my opinion if you can quit something in the writing area, you werent meant to be doing it. Because I live and breath poetry I truly do! :))

I commited to family and friends who i trust. They knwo i will protect them and help them when they need or ask most of the time they do not need to ask. But they always send over these peopel who say i am committed adn wan tme to wear this white jacket that makes me hug myself. If i am committed why do they want me to go to that hoem . lol

I have commitments to my faith, my beloved, my children, my parents - my community in a small way, my animals - both pets and food animals.
