Today I'm cleaning...listening to music...I stopped for a snack awhile ago, and picked up the same book I've been slowly working through. Saw some quotes that grabbed me...maybe they'll grab you too...maybe they're worth talking about.
The book? "Seizing Your Divine Moment" by Erwin Raphael McManus. (Isn't there a teenage mutant ninja turtle named Raphael? To my knowledge, there's no relation, but you never know.)
(p. 39) "The greatest danger that success brings, aside from arrogance, is the fear of losing what has been gained."
(p. 43) "What God can do through a person who's willing to act is limitless."
(p. 44) "You cannot put your life on hold. It moves forward with or without your approval. Choosing not to choose does not put off the problem; it only exacerbates it. God designed us to move through time with intentionality."
...great word..."exacerbates"...
(p. 47) "The challenges you are willing to face will rise in proportion to the character you are willing to develop."
(A disclaimer - for those whose immediate reaction is "sometimes you have to wait on God, you know" - he counts that as a proactive activity too.)
Back to cleaning. The kitchen is done...on to the bathroom!
