Happy Monday!
Last week I wrote a few LARGE blogs! So I’m gonna keep it short today!
“Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.”
-Howard Thurman (American theologian, clergyman and activist. 1900-1981)
Maybe this is the day to consider doing something different with your life? Maybe this is the blog that frees someone… from the “same old, same old” to a new and better life of liveliness and adventure! Life can be FUN… life SHOULD BE FUN! We CAN work hard and make a gigantic difference… and have the TIME OF OUR LIVES doing this!
If your stuck in a rut today and you just cannot get out no matter how hard you try… maybe, turn off the vehicle and get out… and WALK for a while!
I’m not suggesting you vacate the responsibility of parenting of marriage… or that you just walk away from twenty years of tenure at that great company of yours. I’m saying that life will force a person down into a rut and KEEP THEM THERE for decades longer than anyone can bear!
Don’t be afraid of change! Don’t ever feel too old to start pursing a dream! Change things up… liven up your environment… OPEN THE WINDOWS… welcome the FRESH AIR in! Invite LIGHT and FRESH AIR into the dark and dusty places of your life!
Do this RIGHT NOW: get a blank piece of paper… or open the comment section of this blog! Then, answer the following question: If life were perfect… and I could really dream without limits… and if I could do with my life, ANYTHING my heart desired… WHAT WOULD I DO WITH MY LIFE?
In the words of Howard Thurman… WHAT MAKES you COME ALIVE? Answer this question… because what the world needs is people who have COME ALIVE!
I hope todays blog inspires people… I pray that these thoughts add tremendous value to your amazing lives! Have the best Monday in a very long time!
If I could do anything;
I would help everyone that needs to be helped without judgement. I would bring people in that need the encouragment to live a better life and show them that you can always have a better life you just need a little help and a lot of love.
To help anyone that wants help with anything I can help them with. Nothing would be to big to handle.
I WOULD LOVE EVERYONE LIKE THEY HAVE NEVER BEEN LOVED BEFORE,I WOULD GIVE BLESSINGS TO EVERYONE ON MY HEART,MOSTLY I WOULD SHARE HOPE AND FAITH FOR THOSE WHO ARE DESPAIRED AT LIFES DIALY TRIALS BECAUSE THRU HIM ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE AND THRU HIM ALL THINGS HOLD TRUE.
If I could do anything with my life? I would get out of the rut I’m in and serve God. My true hearts desire is to live for God and trust him the way I should, to have a walk with HIM like I never have. I wish I wasn’t lazy or whatever my problem is. I guess in ways I don’t feel like I have anything to offer. Pray for me Pastor Chuck.
Hmmmm…. if I could live my life without limits…..
I would…
…bake cookies with abandon, and send them all over the world to people, just to bless them.
…buy Big Idea, that writes VeggieTales stories, so they could be an independent company again.
…pay off debts that certain friends owe, so they can be free to go and do the things that make them alive!
…write stories, novels, poems, articles… spend my whole day writing…
…draw and draw and draw and draw… and then draw some more…
…learn to play the flute
…use the Internet for God’s glory in fantastic ways — I mean, why should the devil get all the good toys?
…talk to people, and talk and talk, because I love to encourage people.
…spend my day praying for people, without interruption.
…achieve the creation of an alumni band for the university that I attended, and create an alumni newsletter for the music department there.
These are the things that FIRST come to mind… :0)
Rita!! Welcome to the blog… And thanks for commenting! Your honesty blesses me! I will pray for you… In fact, I am praying for you right now, confident that today can be your new beginning! Your talents need to be mined… Identified and then activated! I wrote a blog about identity and reposted the link in my top ten blog a few weeks ago. Check it out if you can! Really, I’m cheering for you Rita!! These can be the days of your life… And just like you mentioned, it all beging at your relationship with God.

Michelle… Sounds like a plan! Napolian Hill once said, whatever the mind of man can concieve and believe, he can achieve! Jesus said, nothing is imposible for God… And nothing is impossible to he that believes!
Keep the comments comming everyone!!!
pastor my first time commenting on this i always answer ur quesstions in my head but i will out loud this time bc i feel like shouting it God is doing a work in our family and if i could/ we could do anything without any walls i would def sell everything then pace up all of our neccessaties and as a family of four we would go into the pits of hell in this world and show them Jesus give them the chance they need to get out of what they are in, go after the lost souls in this world, im not talking just the states im talking the world then after weve achieved that and had all of the lost souls won into the kingdom of God we would go to Mars and save the aliens!! lol j/k but seriously we would show everyone jesus and fill up heaven with souls on fire for God Satan would be so furious with us bc he would awful lonley in hell by the time we would get done with the devil even he would want back into heaven. thats what we would do
