Motivated

I am motivated, I go go go. So I took some time to meet with the man who built our Sunset Hills Campus location. I asked him to tell me what I’m doing wrong. It only makes sense to learn from those who have a few more years of experience under their belt. He asked me to tell him what I felt I had done wrong. I thought about how I am always looking ahead and planning and saying, “God we have to reach the WORLD!” He told me to stop, enjoy the moment, and give thanks.

A Moment To Reflect

So I sat in the parking lot and said, “Thank you, God for what you HAVE done! This is so awesome. Thank you for our team. Thank you for this building – the parking lot needs a little work but – thank you Jesus!” And then, because I get caffeinated, I took off mentally going 100 miles an hour yet again. Go, go, go!

The Framework Of Peace

We need to get away and stop. In order to get into the framework of peace sometimes we need to take time to go and look at what God has done. We need to choose to be happy right now at this moment instead of thinking, “I’ll be happy when we move to the next level.”

Stop It!

What about you? Are you always focused on that next level? Do YOU look at yourself and think no matter how much weight you lose it will never be enough? STOP IT! Do you beat yourself up worse than anyone else? STOP IT!

Be Encouraged!

Father, I pray that your word will not return void. Your word gives us peace. Within the framework of our lives, we will look at life with eyes of peace and choose to let go of what doesn’t matter. We choose to be faithful to you, to your house, and to do your will. Amen!
