Limits

Image hosted by Photobucket.com

There are times when I feel like I haven't matured enough to make wise professional decisions; or could it be a case of being too hard on myself? I think about powerful exec's who make mistakes as well as everyday people. My real problem is I question my own judgement. My mis-trust of people in general seeps into my own self-esteem and self-confidence. Plain and simple: I don't even trust myself. I've grown yes, I may even go as far to say the old cliche': I've come along way. Yet its apparent I've got a long way to go. I'm not discouraged in fact I'm enlightened. I'm aware that in this state my need for God's help is greatest; maybe thats the point; to recognize my limitations are opportunities for God's endless strength and wisedom to guide my life.

Intricate Details

Have you ever noticed that every event that happens in the universe is tied together? I've been paying particular attention to this fact. I'm not just about talking about surface cause and effect, I'm talking about every conversation, and every action we take having an impact our very future. I'm in awe. Just being aware of this fact could change everything--on a universal level! Not just for you but for EVERYONE. When God said, he is Alpha and Omega he meant it.

Discover Greatness

How do some people discover greatness within themselves? When I say greatness I'm talking about 1. spiritural breakthroughs 2. obtaining one's full potential in life. There are several people who have obtained this greatness I believe. Number one my list is TD Jakes. A man who has dedicated his whole life to serving God and God's people. Does one become great by serving God or is one a great person who serves God?

I feel like the answer is a person becomes great by serving God. I also believe a person can obtain their full potential by knowing God. I use myself as an example. Just a few months ago I was totally and completely without any hope. Then after praying and seeking God, instantly hope walked into my life. I'm not saying I don't have days when I feel down, I'm saying, I found hope and grace when I thought my entire life was over. I was caught up in the world, living my life for me, doing what I wanted to do with no regards for anything. Now my life has a purpose and focus, I'm not just chilling..I'm walking with God, trying to discover greatness.
