It's Not About You

Question to Consider: In spite of all the advertising aroound me, how can I remind myself that life is really about living for God, not myself?

Answer: Well I think one way of staying focused on what my life is really about, is to pray to God and ask him to continually be around me to remind me what I'm about, especially when he sees me steering off in the wrong direction. Also, being in fellowship with God's believers and going to Church, surrounding yourself with Christians will help you to stay on your purpose. Because sometimes it is your friends that see you straying from purpose, and they try to pull you back before it is too late.

It's not about me.

At a recent Church service I attended,  the message said:
We have to take the time out of our busy schedule and give God first priority,  in order to make time for God.
We have to sit at his feet sometimes in order to fill our heart with what we need to stand up to the pressures of the world.

Why Am I Here?

This Blog is in response to Rick Warren's Book "The Purpose Driven Life". One of my best friends/ sister in Christ  gave me this book a long time ago. Reading this book should take forty (40) days, however, I wanted to spend quality time in reading the book, by that I mean, responding to the questions in a thoughtful and insightful away. Unfortunately, life did not turn out as perfectly as I hoped it to be, and I procrastinated in reading and writing a response, and sometimes I could not find the "perfect time" to read the book and spend the "quality time" to analyse what each chapter means for my life. But now, half way through the book, I feel moved to blog about what I've learnt so far.
