What If?
Most people think of "What If..." in the negative. What if I don't have enough money? What if I get seriously ill? What if it just doesn't work out?
I like to look at "What if..." in the positive!
What if today... I did things just a little differently? What if I chose to be just a little bit more intentional with my words and actions? What if I actually took the time to do at least one thing that I have been intending to do? What if I took that action today?
What is the "What If..." you can take action on today that may make today not just a good day but a great day?
Philippians 4:13 " I can do all this through him who gives me strength."

God Does Not Hire Accountants!
God does not hire accountants! When I stand before God at the end of my life I will not give an account for how much money I have made. Rather, I will be accountable to how many lives I have influenced with His love and was I faithful to do what He has asked me to do? This is success of the Eternal Nature!
Thank you Clay Christensen (Harvard Business School Professor) for inspiring this thought for me today!
Mark 8:36-37 "For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? 37 Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?"

Grateful
I am so grateful and thankful for today! Why? Because I am alive... I have the opportunity to make today better than yesterday. I have an awesome God, a beautiful, wonderful wife, two exceptional children, a dream job, a home, two cars, dear family and friends, and my health.
I am also thankful for the trials... yes... on top of ALL those wonderful things I have trials. These trials challenge me... to be better... to draw closer to my God... to cling to God's Word and ALL of His glorious promises. To rise up in faith and believe God and to put His Word to action. If it were not for the trials I may not recognize the blessings.
These trials could defeat me, but they will not. Instead, they send me into a deeper pursuit of Gods love. These trials make me more desperate for His presence. In the end these trials will make me stronger, wiser, and more effective in my lifes purpose.
Everyday is a day to be grateful... Romans 8:28 28 "And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them."
