In Realizing God as Priorities
Thanks Chris for the reminder.
(Please refer to 6th July Post, "Priorities" by Rev. Chris Appleby)
It inspired me a lot, I reflected my life. For so many thoughts to share, I write it as a Free Blog.

If you know me well, you know I am not good in management.
I am “Task-oriented” and “Unstructured”
I have “Talent in Administration”, but I am more “Talent in Apostles”
(Hope you guys all remember those lovely workshops Rachael held) =P
God shape everyone differently in that 2x2 grid x multiple combinations of talents x …
In order to create us a unique form to serve him and glorify him.
Before P.5, I was very arrogant and “my way” all the time.
“I proud of my school result, I am almost top of the class…”
“I am wise and should be capable to be the controller of my life.”
“No one can work better than me for myself…” --- It’s very logical, it’s very reasonable.
In 1998, God deconstructed my life, He took away my source of arrogance.
My mum, who brought me up, taught me and disciplined me very well.
My soul was wake and I am bullied at school. I as a 插班生has been teased.
“You don’t deserve that. You are some outsider…” of coz those are some naughty classmates.
I have 7 years to be as a Lost Son, I lost my direction, my priority.
A poor result in HKCEE has removed me from my last arrogance, St. Paul’s.
I am shamed but I am greatly blessed to be removed by my shame. I surrendered my life.
And I have been transformed.
I have come to the new school. This school is a part of my church.
I lived as a church mate in my school. I started to pick up my life again.
And God trained me and has given me a new altitude. I trained myself accordingly.
To put God as my source of everything, as my priority.
In doing so, God has given me two major transformations…
Shape me to be humble, to be still and know he is God.
Shape me to be gentle, mild and tender to build relationship with others.
And I believe that’s the two keys to live out God as Priority
Definitely God calls you to study well, to love one another, to dream big for him.
But without these two keys. You can hardly access to any part of that.
You will hardly able to hear God’s speaking to you, His will on you. His plan for you.
And you can’t find yourself the energy to sustain the harsh time, the weak time
Without linkage to God, you will easily lose your direction of life.

Finally
I would like to share a song… to reinforce Chris quotation.
The rhythm comes up my mind when I read Chris quotation from the old prayer…in the 16th Century…
