Well, my focus on God continues...;-)
This is an important question, wouldn't you agree? If you are seeing God as the source of and or reason for your failures and successes, then why does it matter what you do?
If you read my earlier post then you might be guessing that this is one of those moments I tend to hear that "AWFUL" finger nails and chalkboard sound.
Have you ever known someone who claims to let God do the work?
Are you that someone?
It just seems to me that "I" have a responsibility to hold up my end of the bargin. That is to say, a relationship with God, at least for me, is not a passive thing.
Much like a relationship with another person, when you give it attention it grows, and when you neglect it it becomes difficult and strained.
Is it any different with God?
If I am not making the effort, taking the time, and making the mistakes, "YES! MAKING MISTAKES!" How will I ever live up to or even come close to my potential, could you?
It is "EASY" to be average, what do you think?
There is an interesting fact about being average. Most, a majority of the people, feel that they are "better than average!" It doesn't add up, do the math, that the majority would be "above average?"
What about you, are you "ABOVE AVERAGE?"
With love,

Is God a "Purpose" or an "Excuse?"
Inspired to act or not...

Are you making "Excuses" or taking "Bold Action?"
I have met, and often, people who choose not to do the work. They say things like; I don't have to study, I don't have to rehearse, I don't have to because "God will work through me!"If you read my earlier post then you might be guessing that this is one of those moments I tend to hear that "AWFUL" finger nails and chalkboard sound.

Why does this matter?
I want to live my life "ALL OUT" and I am learning to do "just that!" I want to live my life with my sense of purpose, not the purpose that every other person wants to share with or advise me to live.My Purpose, not theirs!
They have their life, you have yours, and I have mine!If I am not making the effort, taking the time, and making the mistakes, "YES! MAKING MISTAKES!" How will I ever live up to or even come close to my potential, could you?

Well! Do you have more inspiring moments, than you do excuses?
Have an AWESOME day!With love,
