In the great orchestra we call life...

"There are things only  you can do,
          and you are alive to do them.

In the great Orchestra we call life,
          you have an instrument and a song,

and you owe it to God to play them both sublimely."

Max Lucado: Quote is from his book, The Applause Of Heaven.

Volunteering so all the pieces of the puzzle are in the correct spot!


"God has created each of us with a unique contribution to make in our world and our times. No other person has our same abilities, motivations, network of friends and relationships, perspectives, ideas, or experiences. When we, like misplaced puzzle pieces, fail to show up, the overall picture is diminished."   Richard Stearns: President of World Vision U.S.
Quote from his book: The Hole in our Gospel 

Bloom Where You Are Planted!

We have all heard this phrase so many times that maybe we don't understand what it really means. Google the phrase...you will see what I mean. Some very good secular or worldly advice.

But WHY should we Bloom Where We Are Planted?


As a believer in Jesus Christ and desiring to be a good steward and a faithful "follower" of Jesus on our way to glory...we can be a light for others to see the Truth.


At the end of our lives, I would like to say or have said, "I  have fought the good fight, I  have finished the course, I have kept the faith." (2 Tim. 4:7)


 ●"The Lord created each of us individually with different Spiritual Gifts, Passions, Abilities, strengths and a unique personality with different experiences.  Helping each other put the pieces of the seeming puzzle together so we each can be most effective in our families, church, community and the world and finish our lives well and leave a legacy that gives glory to the LORD so when we stand before Him one day, we will hear, "Well done, my good and faithful servant."
Isn't that what we would like to hear one day?

Now we just need to find a good place where we can put the pieces of the puzzle together and bring glory to the LORD.  Good prayer.

You are special and unique!


Some Basic Foundations!
1.                 You are not an accident!
Isaiah 44:2 (I am your creator. You were in my care even before you were born)

2.                 Before you were conceived, God thought of you. Not fate, chance, luck or coincidence you are breathing here at this very moment. 

3.                 Bible says, “The Lord will fulfill His purpose for me” Psalm 138:8

4.                 God chose every detail of your body. Race, color of skin, hair, every feature. Also your natural talents…your personality. Psalm 1 39:15-16

5.                 Sometimes emphasis on spiritual gifts…not the other things!

6        That creative process did not stop at childbirth. 

7.                 God has been molding and shaping you over the years with a care that exceeds that of the most meticulous craftsman.

8.                 He put you in a unique family. 

9.                 He gave you a unique personality. 

10.                 He has given you unique abilities, and He has woven a unique assortment of motivators into the very fabric of your life 

11.            God made you absolutely unique for a purpose. 

12.            Eph. 1:4 God’s motive for creating you? Love. 

13.            God designed world’s environment so we could live in it. James 1:18

14.            Most important of all the things He made! YOU. 

15.            God made you for a reason!

16.            Part of His plan. 

17.            Precious and perfect unique design. 

18.            God’s special woman or man. 

19.            He made you like He wanted you to be. 

20.            Parents you had were the ones He chose. (no matter how bad a childhood we may have had). 

21.            May have to struggle with this…and forgive parents.   If we had a less than ideal childhood. 

22.            Guess what? WE ALL had a less than ideal childhood. 

Dreams
Many of us give up on our dreams. 

We simply don’t believe they could happen. 

Or we learned that they were unrealistic, or others didn’t support us in them.

We need to have dreams and visions. God wants us to think BIG!!

God wants to give you dreams, visions and gifts.  They are important and the body of Christ will not be complete if you don’t have them!

Dreams and visions can include:
          Ministry vision
          Helping people
          Relationally-marriage, family
          Relating to God in certain ways-intimacy
          Friendships

Purpose motivates your life! Purpose driven Life book. 

Purpose produces “Passion” (What excites you…what drives you…what makes you get up in the morning raring to go? Do you get up raring to go? (wait for a response…

When you fully comprehend that there is more to life than just here and now, and you realize that life is just preparation for eternity…you will begin to live differently. Living in Light of Eternity. Will make a difference how you handle every relationship, task and circumstance. 

What makes you tick?

What is your passion, the spark that needs only a little breeze to ignite into a raging fire?

What do you enjoy so much that you’d do it without pay?

What gives you a deep sense of satisfaction and purpose?

What do you feel you are missing in your life?

Remember: You are unique!




Giving Thanks with a Grateful Heart
