a.t.t.i.c. youth ministry

So today I made a decision.  I decided to step down from the worship team at church.  Before I get too far, let me say this ... I loved being on the worship team.  I loved being able to help people enter into worship on a weekly basis.  I loved being able to use a newly discovered gift to please the Lord.  Plus I just loved playing bass.  (even if I wasn't that good yet)  So why did I step down you may ask?  Very simple.  Priorities.  You see I have a lot of stuff that I do in my life.  But I also have a lot of stuff that I am not doing in my life.  So when I sat down to make a list of things I am currently doing, and a list of things I need to be doing; I realized that I had been making some mistakes.  I had been doing some things thjat were fun and good, but neglecting some things that were maybe not so fun but extremely important.  So I stepped down.

Personally, I think there is a lot of people out there that are in this same predicament.  Maybe you are neglecting some things that you need to be doing.  Maybe, like me, you are doing some good things in your life, but are you doing the best things for your life?  I thnk more often than not we settle for the good instead of waiting for God's best.  Take a look at your life.  Are your priorities in order?  Are you doing the things that are the best for your life?  Or are you settling for only the good things?

Hey I know its hard, trust me I just had to do this, but really examine your life.  Are living the life God wants, or the life you want?
