Something you touched on in the first few paragraphs:
Rabbi (Jason Sorbel) said when he was here. "Don't try to be someone else, be yourself, when you try to be someone else, you can't be who you are and that limits your potential." To that, I say, "AMEN & AMEN!"
Something you said awhile back, Pastor, was to be a "silent sermon."
Through that statement Father God was saying to me, "Let the Light of Jesus show others who I really am. Then people, when they hear trash talk, they will know, that's not who I am." Thank you for reminding me of that truth. I needed that.
I like the concept of focusing on the wins, the positives, that's a joy builder right there, isn't it?
Many years ago I use to see my self as a bench player that is trained at the same place and the same team but never having the chance to play on the field with them. Having the knowledge but never had the chance to feel the heat of the same game ball! You know what I mean? To much desire to play and score! Having the honor to change the numbers on the board!
I never thought that it wasn’t God’s time! I never realized that God was keeping me to score for a different team and different seasons in life…
Again! God is challenging me to pick up the ball and trust that I will score again! I’m not done… I believe is good to trust that I still have what it takes to score! AGAIN AND AGAIN! In the name of Jesus!
Encouraged by the reminder that there is a temptation to resort to talk and not action. The smack-talking athlete is often compensating for something, and as leaders, when we feel we need to keep SAYING we are something often highlights that we aren’t doing it…
We’ve been defining what “scoring” looks like ✅
Now we need to keep putting lay-ups in and communicating that to your team ☑️
Thank you, Pastor.

Hmmm…! Wow! Pretty challenging to think about it!
