It's Just Awesome to See It Work!
Tuesday, November 1, 2005 at 10:11AM Okay, I know that some of those leaders who simply take themselves too seriously are going to say, "Stop bragging - great for you - does it always have to be about you!" But I don't care what you say....
It is just awesome to see IT work. It doesn't really matter what the IT is as long as IT is something worthy and focused on great purposes. IT going well is what we live for. IT is what we claim, hope for and are certain of if we have heard from God. IT, no matter what IT is, is the crown jewel of leadership and of life.
I love IT when IT works. IT is supposed to work and usually on the "I" in IT messes IT up.
IT for me is discipline that I thought I had before last year. IT for me is following my God as he said, "If you can't do IT then you certainly can't tell other people to do IT." Leaders must have been there and successfully maintained IT.
I thought I had the IT of discipline but this last year has been a doozy. The pain of 20 years finally dehabilitated me. Six months later, my life consisted of 3 visits weekly to therapy that concluded in a prescription of 45 minutes of therapy, two Pilates sessions, running, walking and YOGA so that I could live without pain and be able to work. After successfully implementing making this change, I was diagnosed with a form of diabetes that mandated an entire lifestyle change or meds and then a most certain earlier death than I dreamed of. The last six months have been added to the previous ones to make a year of IT like I never dreamed IT could be. No sugar, no red meat, no fried foods, no white foods, no starchy foods, no.....
IT paid off. I rode to the doctor pain free after a year and got test results that prove the small probability that with diet, exercise and IT you can avoid meds and be incredibly in shape and healthy. Sure I may get hit by a bus next week but I will be pain free until that moment and I will be as healthy as I could be. IT is required for life and IT is required of me.
But God too, required IT of me as he told me, "If you stand each week and ask them to be spiritually IT, then you should be IT in everything. If you can't be IT in your physical world, you have no right to stand before them ever again!" Isn't it great when IT (whatever IT may be) works! Good point, God. Good blessings, God. Thanks for IT. I encourage you to stop making excuses and do IT - IT works.
