Work in Progress

I'm almost a month into my renewal of my life, business, ministry, etc.  Here's what I have found. 

1.  It is true that God helps those who help themselves.  I always hated that statement but there is truth in it. I am working like it all depends on me and praying like it all depends on God. You know what?  God is abundantly gracious and kind and somehow it is all in motion and appears to be working.  I am still up to my ears in alligators but I am fighting my way through it. 

2.  It seems to get straightened and "get my act together", I am forever destined to make people mad.  It is like feeding the bears.  When you quit feeding, (doing what benefits them), they get really testy.

3.  It is alot easier to get into committments than get out.

4.  My daily walk with God is the conduit for my strength which comes from Him.

5.  My family continues to be the source of much joy.  Hunting with the guys, playing with the gkids, hanging around the house with my wife, those moments are what keeps you going.

6.  Get a plan, work the plan, adjust the plan, then work it some more.
