Realigning My Priorities

Today during baptismal service, we sang this song :

Knowing you, Jesus
Knowing you
There is no greater thing.
You're my all, you're the best,
You're my joy, my righteousness,
And I love you Lord.

As I was singing this, it just struck me that my view of Jesus isn't like that at all. It should be *blush* but it's not.

I've been really playing around with my priorities lately. For instance, hand me this choice :

a) Shopping
b) Quiet time
c) Spend time with him.

You don't wanna bet which one I'd choose. My attitude isn't what it should be when it comes to putting God first in my life.

We had this "confessing our sins" session thing at yf yesterday. Seems that a lot of us have a problem with swearing. I do too. I know I should stop, but I just press ahead obstinately and use those words anyway in the heat of the moment because I just give in to my emotions at the moment.

I have a big problem with temper, it's the quick explosion type which I regret about 5 seconds later. I don't hold grudges, but I do blow up like a crazed volcano then immediately regret, but the words are already out there and I can't take them back. *boof*

I've been acting a lot according to what I like, what I want without giving a thought to the Lord's will. I do agree that there can be no sweeter pleasure than knowing the Lord, but I have a tough time putting him first in my life.

My attitude has been a lot of "me, me, me" and my own desires. I still remember that among my New Year resolutions for 2006, one of them was "do quiet time regularly".

Well, I kept it the first week. Then.....*blush*. I forgot all about it.

Uh oh.

On a lighter note....
After playing "It's a Happy Day" for cherru's worship at yf yesterday....it keeps looping in my head. Eeek, I can't stop it.
