Priorities

What are your priorities in life? My aunt called me last night to ask if doing sound(AV stuff) is hard. Well, I just said "Its not really hard and its not really easy either. As long as you have the interest to do it. Then all is well.. :)"... When I told my mum that my aunt is thinking of joining the AV team in the Chinese church of Glad Tidings. My mum was like.. "she got time meh? her own 4 kids also cannot take care and now she wants to join the AV team ar??". If you guys don't know, my aunt is a divorced woman of 4 kids. 3 boys and 1 girl. Its really complicated and mind you that its not God's fault that they got divorced. ANYWAY, my aunt... how should I put it?.. According to my mum's "motherly" judgement. My aunt isn't a good mum.

She never really takes care of her kids and apparently, her kids aren't really her priority. (From my mum's analysis). But then I thought, what does serving God in the AV team has to do with her kids? So my mum explained that.. "I know ur aunt wants to serve God and all these kinds of stuff. But, do you think that, thats what God wants her to do now? Maybe God wants her to take care of her kids le? The bible says that WE as parents' are given the task to take care and nurture our kids as they are given to us as treasures by God. But is ur aunt doing what she is suppose to do? I believe that God would want us to serve Him with the right attitude and all things going accordingly in life. If she can't even do her part as a parent and perform the task at hand thats already given by God, how can you expect her to serve in the AV team? Wouldn't that be serving God hypocritically?"..

Those things that my mum asked me kind of got me thinking. Thats really true. Now, I understand why not everybody are actively involved in church. Coz, this might be part of the reason why. As in, they've got other priorities in life and stuff. But that doesn't mean that their not serving God. As a parent, they serve God by taking care of their treasures(children). Teenagers and kids, we serve God by getting good grades and obeying Him and our parents'. There are many ways that we can serve God and it doesn't always have to be in the church. Mum was right. And she also made a point that we gotta make our priorities right. If your gonna serve God. Serve Him with the right heart, attitude and life. Otherwise, you'll just be doing everything "half past 6" and I don't think that God would like that very much. Its either that your hot or cold and not lukewarn. So yea, setting my priorities RIGHT!

Priorities:-

1. God

2. Family & Studies

3. Church & Friends

4. Future boyfriend/husband

Yup, the things above are my priorities for now as a teenager. It may change after I get a job, get married and stuff. But God will always be NO.1!! =)

SET YOUR PRIORITIES RIGHT PEEPS!
