It's 2011! What are you doing to make a difference in your life and in the lives of the people in your community (local and global)? Is there something preventing you from doing the next right thing that will bring about significant change? It's time to join the journey (parade of life) and stop spectating!
Here are some great words of encouragement from CatalystSpace|Catablog:
What is on your heart to do? What has God gifted you to do? What unique vision has He given you?
Don't just sit there, do it.
When He gives you something to do, it's probably not just for you. God delights in using different parts of the body to bless/teach/correct/balance the other parts. So by you sitting on the bench & not doing what He's put on your heart, you're actually depriving the rest of us of the blessing.
So for God's sake, and for the Body ... do it.

It’s a wonderful, true story about how much better life is when we participate. If you’ve not made a resolution yet in 2011, make this one with me: I will not watch 2011, I will participate. 2011 is more than a new year, it’s the start of a new decade. Take some risks and live a great story this year, sacrifice for somebody else, and you’ll set the tone for the next ten years.
What's your response to the challenge? Spectate or Participate? FYI, there are some "parades" that do not allow spectators (thanks Bob Goff & family ~ see "No Spectators Allowed" video)!
Just Do It!
I'm all in. I don't exactly understand the swoosh business, but I don't care. I will not be picking splinters out of my buttocks this year.
ReplyDeleteCool article. Thanks, Bro!
I have seen the parade info before. It seems like last year sometime. Who knows?
Anyhow, let's roll....WDDIM 2011
Duh! Okay, I'm slow. "just do it" Now I understand the swoosh. It's been a looooooong day.
ReplyDeleteGot this from the Catablog ~ JUST DO IT!
ReplyDelete"Has God given you an idea? Then what are you waiting for? Do it. Please. For the sake of the Body.
Afraid of failure? Don't be.
If you succeed, great. If you fail, great, because you can LEARN a ton from your failure, which will help you next time!"
Tune in to God and step out in Spirit power to make a difference!
