YOU are potentially a BIG DEAL!

Hello gents and misses!

I have only about 15 minutes before my final class for the day starts and I wanted to spend this little bit of time to post something that I have been chewing for a few days - potential.

As I am preparing to leave for Poland, work camp again, and go to seminary in the fall I have start to ask God for guidance, I mean true guidance, not hindered by my own likes and dislikes. I feel so often that I never truly know God's plan for me. I know it is wrong to question the authority of God and his will, but I have come to understand that it is not wrong to ask God how things are going to happen and ask Him for a glimpse of why.

As some of you know, I will be preaching at my home church, Day 3, on March 1. I'll post more on that later, but as I am preparing for that I am praying, 'God how do I say your words, and give me a glimpse of why.' God answers the how often times but he sometimes doesn't answer the why. But for me in this situation and in situations to come he has given me a glimpse of why, more specifically why does he want me to stand up in front of people and open my mouth.

I am the guy who often talks to much, about nothing of any importance, and often sticks my foot in my mouth, so I ask, why me?

And in not specifically God has responded, 'adam, you have no idea of your potential in me and all I have in store for you.' See I am always looking at MY potential, not my potential IN GOD.

So this week I pray that you and I will find our potential in God and all that he has for us, because His plans far outreach our own.

Adam
