DAY 69

Like the remnants of snow. so should our lives be…leaving a a sign for others to follow.

Have you ever been convicted? Today was my day, maybe even this week (as other posts would suggest) . I am learning a lot, seeing a lot and I have this burning desire to do something with what I am learning and seeing (this blog is one small step in achieving this goal). Before I continue I have a question, have you ever gone to church and after hearing the message wondered, “Has the pastor been spying on me?” No? I guess it’s just me then. Onward to the point…

Today my pastor said, “If you do nothing about this message. Then NOTHING will happen with this message” (yeah, he can be cryptic like that). My brain translated it like this: “If nothing with this message, you do. Then happen with this message, nothing will. Hmmmmmm” (Yoda speech somehow makes things clearer to me – yes, a geek I am). As I sat listening to Pastor Bob my heart asked this question, “What are you doing with what you are learning?” Well I am…hmmmm? We are constantly learning, constantly growing and many times we have the erroneous belief that the lessons and the growth are meant for us, and us ALONE. But the fact of the matter is that our growth and our lessons are meant to serve as an example. They are meant to make the road smoother, the path easier to find for those who come behind us, for those who come in contact with us. Lessons are NOT meant to be hoarded, and stored. Why? Like Yoda (Bob) said: If we do NOTHING with what we learn. NOTHING will happen (with what we learn).
