Today, as I relish my day off, I realize that my facebook and internet activities are ABOUT the things that I value in my life.
God
Family
Relatives
Small group
Girlfriends
Kids Church
Education
These are where my time and energy and resources mostly go. Not via facebook literally, hehe.
So when there's an invitation that's not part of this list, they go to the bottom of my priorities. If an office mate would invite me to watch movies after work on a Saturday, I remember my nephew Nate who stays with us during the weekends and how I only have four opportunities in one month to build a relationship with him.
Or if cliques from high school would meet up for a drink on a night when I don't have to go anywhere, I imagine the expenses that can buy dinner for the family instead or that can buy something for a lonely tita that I care about.
See, there are things that I don't do in order to do well what I need to do.
We only have one life, 16 waking hours, two day off's a week and two paydays in a month.
And we would want to make the most of it.
What, get a life?
I am.
This is my life: God, my loved-ones, my dreams. These make me happy. To live a life dedicated to building relationships within my ability and magnify Jesus' Name in stewardship and relationships. And until He tells me to come and jump off the boat to a greater territory and greater responsibility, this is where I'm staying.
- For where your treasure is there your heart will be -
Luke 12:34
