Opportunity Knocks!

Does anyone remember that movie? Back in the early 90's Dana Carvey is a con man but finds a job he is really good at but poses as someone else and cant really enjoy this golden opportunity, because if the truth got out,.... yeah! Well in Hollywood it worked out and all was well! But as I prepare for next Wednesday, I grow more excited about Maximizing Your Potential! If you were there last week at the Garage, Natalie Lurie made this week a tough act to follow! Ha ha not that its a compitition, but I am going to need to bring my A Game thats for sure! ( Natalie you did a great job, I am excited to see what God is doing in your life! )
As I thought about this message the movie Facing the Giants came to my mind, and after watching it last night with a Starbucks Chai Tea Latte I might add, I was inspired by it all, Opportunity Knocks, Maximizing Your Potential! It is one of the best movies of all time in my book, because of how it is filmed! It has a sense of realness in it that you dont get with most movies, and it shows how to truly maximize by putting God first and getting your priorities in the right order! When our lives are in disarray and nothing seems to be going our way what do we do? Do we as the ol King James puts it, grow weary in well doing? Or do we see it as an opportunity to get things right with God first and then work on the rest?
I am excited about what God is doing in my life, but I am more excited about what God is doing! Life is bigger than me, God is bigger than us all and He chose us to show that His love is everlasting and that He cares about us, YOU, ME, God CARES!!!! I love that because it gives me hope that He wants to get involved, He wants to be active in my everyday life! I have the opportunity and was chosen to show the world what God is like! So today and everyday, want to maximize your potential, take the oppoortunity to let God be first in your life, to live as he created you too! What does that mean? I challenge you to discover that!
