Thanksgiving thought…
November 21, 2006
Forgive me for I have sinned….It’s been 4 days since my last post. Thanksgiving rocks! Family and friends, football, amazing food…who could ask for anything more? My big idea from Sunday’s message was this, “We already have everything we need to take the next step toward becoming what God wants us to become.” We looked at Moses (the guy from the Bible, not the great Coldplay song) as an example. When God wants him to do something amazing, he has all kinds of excuses, but God points out two things–you have me, and you have what’s in your hand. You have everything you need to take the next step. Down the road it will take more, but we will worry about that later.
I have my eye on everything I wish I had, think I need, and God keeps pushing me to use what I have and trust Him for the rest. This year, I keep coming back to thanking God for what He’s provided and seeing that as enough to keeping moving forward on the amzing journey He has placed before me. No excuses–be thankful for what I have and take the next step forward with what I have got. The rest will be there when I need it.
Happy Thanksgiving–and major family announcement to follow!
