Facing the Giants

Facing the Giants.... A movie which I have not yet seen; however, after watching this 6 minute clip

(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vB59PkB0eQ&mode=related&search=),

I will see it ASAP.

Watch it. It's inspirational.

God has given us each gifts. It is up to each of us to use the gifts given to us.

Some of my strengths are not Rick's. And some of his strengths are DEFINITELY not mine :) We balance one another. I am blessed to be able to say that. The differences cause some bumps sometimes but in the long run, it all works out.

I encourage you to look around. See what your life is like. If you haven't experienced change or been challenged to grow, see what you are missing. Cause I know you are missing something.

Step out of your comfort zone ~ you'll be amazed at what can happen.

Don't know what your gifts are? Check with your pastor or your lifelong friend. He/she can help you figure it out.

Are you doing YOUR best in every avenue of your life?

Change

In just a relatively few short months, my "puppy" has grown from the first picture to the second. Many pounds later, finally potty trained, my dog doesn't look like a puppy anymore. He's only 9 months old but over 80 lbs!

Change can take minutes or years. My latest major change is still in progress. We moved. Movers are great and not so great depending on how you look at it. When they pack you, it's like Christmas as you open each box. The result, many boxes half unpacked because some of the items are needed sooner than the others.

But progress happens with effort each day. I have a final date of the 25th to be done for we are having an open house. Call me crazy because I'm beginning to think I am for having it so soon after moving.

Some change is welcomed. Some change is self-created and other change is created by family, friends, and even God. Change is a given. You cannot grow in any way without changing. We often fight it when we really should embrace it. I've made some decisions that will change my world by the end of the year... More on this later...

I need to go back to unpacking and organizing my new house....



What change have you welcomed or not welcomed lately?
