"I'll leave that till later"

There are many things in life where we feel like we should do but either due to our age, inexperience, lack of time, or wtv reason it may be, we say to ourselves : yeah i'll do it, but till later when i'm older".

Have you ever had experiences like this?

One of the examples I can think of is reading newspapers. I never thought that reading newspapers were important for me now. I listen to 89.9 news daily, occassionally read the headlines of the newspapers, but never been bothered to fully read a newspaper or at least find out what's been happening. That's probably why I don't really know much about the world. I have no idea about huge incidents like wars, floods, vocalno explosion etc, nor anything about what's been happening with the "business" world.

If I ever had to read the newspaper, I would turn to the "fun section" where the movie reviews are. That's it.

I always told myself, newspapers are for old people. One day when I start working and get married, I will wake up early, read the newspaper while eating my breakfast before I start work. That's always something I wanted to do.

But one week ago, my financial accounting tutor told me : the best way to help yourself during the exam is to read the age business section.

I told myself, as if I will.

But inside my heart there's a tiny voice telling me : what if it will really help you in your exams..

and so I told myself again, As if.

The thought kept coming to my head again that I decided to give newspaper a try.

And so, I started reading The Age online. It has been 1 week, and I must say, it's not actually thaaat boring. Good to know little things here and there. My views on newspaper has changed.

Can you think of any other things where you'd go "I'll leave that till later".

I will change my topic to a Christian's perspective.

Christian examples could be :

Mission Trips
Reading the bible properly and understanding the concepts fully
Bible College
Serving at church
Attend prayer meetings
Listening to sermons seriously.

There are some things in life that are actually limited by our age such as you won't get married at the age of 16, or sponsor a child at the age of 12 when you're still not working. But, there are many things where we can do that are not limited by our age, ability, culture, and time. We give reasons, we always give reasons, I give reason, you give reason.

God will always provide for us at the right timing. If you ever feel the call to do something, go for it! Keep praying, asking for directions, confirmations, He will provide, you listen, you go, you do, and you won't regret. You will make Him proud.

That is all.
