Thinking bigger

This past Sunday, a friend of mine texted me and asked me if I wanted to join her for church. Something she has never done on a Sunday morning. I replied with Yes. I haven't been to church in a few months. I am currently between home churches and not actively searching for a new one. As Life goes, there is seems to be other things that make it to the top of the list before finding a new home church, that's not an excuse just the facts.

"Thinking Bigger" was the theme of the lesson. I took two pages of notes during the lesson. So many of the things said were hitting home. I don't wish to steal the teaching, but I do wish to share some of my thoughts on and echoes of the lesson I had heard other places but didn't put them together.

The human condition, for the most part we are asleep in our lives. Going thru the motions that it takes to survive daily life, with less of a plan of whats next and where else we could take our lives but more of trying to explain what has already taken place and why. Like asking ourselves, why does bad stuff happen to me? As we are looking back at all the stuff that has already happen our focus is not on our next step. It is much like trying to drive your car forward while looking out the back window or rearview mirror. Bad stuff will happen.

WAKE UP!

The past is the past and you can't change it. Know that if you have been asleep in your life, that the stuff from the past happen because you and those around you were not focus on the next step but caught up in looking back.

The old saying that you can't go home again. Is very much true. Once you have been there it will never be the same. You can't recapture it and you can't relive it.

There is no reverse gear in life, let the past be the past and move FOWARD!

You don't have to repeat your mistakes. Choose to turn around, face forward and plan your next step.

In the movie, "Meet the Robinsons" there is a motto the dad uses "Keep moving forward". Even though we grow up we don't seem to keep moving forward. Stuck in a mind set that this is as good as it gets. The thing is, it gets as good as we expect it to be. If you expectation are low then that is what you get.

Think bigger! My thoughts of the future before this sunday is I am faced with a life time of going thru the motions to survive. "the light at the end of the tunnel has been turned off." (I read that in a comic or something, can't remember where, but I know its not mine) Some little things to hope for, but as a grand life plan that i am working on not so much. I never stopped to ask myself why aren't you worth a bigger better plan than just surviving this life.

As God creation, I have an assignment, as do each of us. Our soul's assignment is to fully express all that God has created us to be.

I don't know about you but I didn't come with a packing slip that listed my parts and all the things I was created for. So, there seems to be some self discovery that needs to happen for each of us. Dream big, try everything in your power to make your dreams come true. Make a plan, keep moving forward, the only really failure is not trying. Stay awake and live deliberately. Let the past go and look to a new future.

THIS IS YOUR LIFE DON'T WASTED

Are you living your very best life?
