Freedom and Life!

Posted by Stakeholder on Tuesday, February 27, 2007 11:30:42 AM
 "Permanence, perseverance and persistence in spite of all obstacles, discouragements, and impossibilities: It is this, that in all things distinguishes the strong soul from the weak."
~ Thomas Carlyle 

This should be common sense (which isn't common today)... in all that we do as people from the War against "Islamo Fascism" to our families culture choices (the worlds goals for them or yours). I am asking that we as a people finish in spite of the circumstances and finish well!

If the cause or goals are noble it takes noble strong souls who will do all, even to the point of death and we are in a noble fight. Here is the balance of what needs to be said, "the will to stand and when all is done be found still standing (or your principles standing beyond your life) do you have the will to stand and fight for the core of life: Life/Freedom? Or live in fear/weakness...choose this day whom you will serve - fear/weakness or life/freedom? As for me and my family 'our lives' we stand and choose 'Life and Freedom!'"
 The time for half measures of living and talk is over!

The time for life and freedom is here!

 2 Timothy 2: 1 You then, my son (people) be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.(my source is it yours-sjh) 2 And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others. 3 Join with me in suffering, like a good soldier of Christ Jesus. 4 No one serving as a soldier gets involved in civilian affairs; rather, they try to please their commanding officer. 5 Similarly, anyone who competes as an athlete does not receive the victor's crown except by competing according to the rules. 6 The hardworking farmer should be the first to receive a share of the crops. 7 Reflect on what I am saying, for the Lord will give you insight into all this.

     8 Remember Jesus Christ, raised from the dead, descended from David. This is my gospel, 9 for which I am suffering even to the point of being chained like a criminal. But God's word is not chained. (and we aren't yet - freedom - Stephen) 10 Therefore I endure everything for the sake of the elect (something great than self - sjh) , that they too may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus, with eternal glory.

    11 Here is a trustworthy saying:
       If we died with him,
       we will also live with him;

    12 if we endure,
       we will also reign with him.
       If we disown him,
       he will also disown us;

    13 if we are faithless,
       he remains faithful,
       for he cannot disown himself.

   We will reign but only if we endure - only if we live in freedom & be faithful to the end!

Expect to Succeed...I DO! Don't You?

Posted by Stakeholder on Tuesday, February 06, 2007 12:47:03 PM

The simple truth is, people often FAIL, simply because they don't EXPECT to succeed.

Because they have not set clear expectations, they have only a fuzzy picture of what they want to see happen. Do you want to live and learn or learn and live? Listen up… learn and live but sometimes you'll find yourself in a situation that you never thought you would find yourself in and live and learn is your only option... your core will help you navigate through the muck. But only if you have a core!

Also, lacking clear details and solid targets, people will spend their precious time going in multiple directions—none of which leads to living in their giftings that will help them thrive doing their best in life.

You have to turn that wish into a dream... a dream into a vision then into GOAL... a goal into a PLAN... THEN ACTION (however small) to move towards your vision, you EARN the right to EXPECT rather than just wish and wait.

What Do You Have The Right To Expect?

The question you need to answer is, which part of this PROCESS is standing between you and using your giftedness to build the best life to impact the world?

Do you just dream, and then wish on a star?

Or, do you bring your dreams into the light of day where you can see them, touch them and give them the RESPECT they so richly deserve? Do you pray about them daily so you will have the wisdom that is beyond you that refines your thinking?

I work as the CEO of ministry/business that has three different areas of specialty (I have 2 experts over two areas). Each area interconnects in terms of missions, people, language and literacy “The Enclave of the Arts, Language Arts and Consulting". So what is my vision - what are my expectations this year - what am I praying about? "To Refine my art of networking people everywhere for life! Catch and release people in their giftings! Secondly, to start building our foundation to $1,000,000.00 by 2010 to fund overseas short-term experiences for 100's of USA teens. In that way they have the opportunity to become better citizens here and citizens of God's Kingdom." In order to get there I am not wishing I am moving forward with action, learning and building the best into my life and those around me!

What Do You EXPECT this Year - that will impact your next 3 years?? Or are you just wishing again or waiting for Washington to give you permission - Oh I hope not! Act now don't wait and wish!
