This is a new feature to my blog!  On Tuesdays I am going to try to share one tiny bit of wisdom that I have been given to try to encourage us all to think about how we can be better and live better!

So here is todays wisdom – are you ready for it? “Give People More Than They Expect And Do It With A Good Attitude!” Most people in our world today are not expecting to get more than they expect and when they do – it totally blows them away!

When I go out to eat, I expect to get a good meal and good service.  But, when I go out and get an exceptional meal and great service, then I can’t wait to tell everyone about my experience.

As Christians, it should always be our goal to bring glory to God.  One of the greatest ways that we can bring glory to God is by developing a reputation that we as Christians are the type of people who always give more than is expected and with a good attitude!

If you stop and think about it, this is exactly what Jesus did for you and for me.  He gave us more than was expected and with a good attitude.  He has not given us anything because we deserved or earned it, but because He loves us and has an amazing plan for our lives.

Let’s follow the wisdom of Jesus and give more than expected with a good attitude and then we will truly enjoy life as we get to watch God get the glory!

I love what I do.  A lot of days it is very frustrating and I must confess that there are many times that I want to throw up my hands and give up, but I still love it.  In one moment it is frustrating and discouraging and then in the next moment it is exciting and encouraging!

Every morning when I get up, I have the major task of helping to try to connect people to God’s story!  We are already His story, but when we cross the line and allow our stories to merge – watch out amazing things are getting ready to happen.  In fact, amazing things are already happening, you just have not learned to see them yet.

Trying to connect people to the story of God is often times frustrating, but when it happens, when I experience success – it is the most amazing thing that I have ever witnessed in all of the years of my life.  I have seen it again and again and it never gets old.

I know that many of you out there are trying to get it right and help others to get it right too.  I know that many times, you feel like you are the only one.  I know that there are a lot of days, where nothing makes any sense and you really want to just go and do something else, but stay faithful my friends!

You are a part of the most amazing story and it really is amazing that you and I get to take part in the amazing challenge of helping others to connect with that story.  Stay after it and G3!  (GIVE GOD GLORY!)

God has a way and it is probably not your way!  In fact, most of the time our way gets in the way of God’s way because we limit God with our lack of faith!  When we decide to step past our fears and uncertainty by trusting God, our faith is an open invitation to God for the miraculous in our lives.

God is always at work!  It is usually not in the way that we think.  And I think the reason is because God is so much bigger and diverse than we can dream or imagine.  God is at work and God’s will, will ultimately be accomplished!

Think about your life!  Take a look back – what have you learned from your past mistakes and failures?  Don’t beat up on yourself, just learn, grow and move forward!  Take a look present – Ask yourself the five w’s and an h questions:  Who do I need to be?  What do I need to do?  When will I get started?  Where will I go from here?  Why have I not done it yet?  How can I get started right now?  Take a look forward – Know that God has an amazing plan for your life and don’t limit His plan with your plan!

Enjoy the journey God’s way and the destination will take care of itself!
