Picking Up the Pieces

My life has been pretty broken over the past few months. Everyday is chaos. Everyone you meet seems to have a hidden agenda. Quiet time was so distant away. The limited time spent in church didn't really help. The saving grace was my family - I'm still in one piece because of them.

Went through some thinking this morning and I came to a few resolutions:

(1) I would rather be faithful everyday with God (even if it's for half an hour) then to hype myself up when someone comes to town to speak

(2) I would rather quit my job than to live behind a mask everyday

(3) I would rather eat to live than live to eat

(4) I would rather live within my means than to work my ass off for something that won't last to eternity

(5) I would rather have the embrace of my wife and kids than to watch BPL every Sat

(6) I would rather study languages than to pick up piano

(7) I would rather focus on bowling than to pretend that I'm good in golf

(8) I would rather see see and remember, do and understand than to hear and forget

It's time to pick up the pieces.

Comments:
Hmm...does that mean you are not going to quit and not going Saudi?

I have not gone for "special" meetings as well because I feel downright hypocritical to skip Sunday services and then to turn up for these "special" meetings.

And how was your bowling selections? Got selected?
 
Will wait till the Saudi dust settles before deciding.

Totally agree - at the end of the day, what good is it that I turn up for these 4 days and don't attend Sunday services for 4 months? I realised it's about consistency, it's not hype. And I want to stop kidding myself

Selection was a diaster but there's 2nd chance next Mon.
 
i guess we all agree there is something very wrong wth us. Its really now picking ourselves up and sustain it, i guess. Me too did not go for the messages.
