Inside out or outside in?

The world is truly our oyster. So many things we can do or be or so it seems.
I watched The Men Who Stare At Goats and there’s some quality philosophy here…

Words spoken by LYN CASSADY (George Clooney)

Have you heard of Optimum Trajectory before? (No answer) Your life is like a river, Bob. If you’re aiming for a goal that isn’t your destiny, you will always be swimming against the current. Young Ghandi wants to be a stock-car racer? Not gonna happen. Little Anne Frank wants to be a High School teacher. Tough titty Anne. That’s not your destiny. But you will go on to move the hearts and minds of millions. Find out what your destiny is and the river will carry you.

Well the river is truly God. Find out what God wants you to do and the rest will be history. We can look at the world as if through a telescope and see everything we think we can do and be. God however lets us peep through his end which is the true focus. The concentrated view. The concise us. The one that we reveals what we were made for. Imagine if Shakespeare never wrote, Einstein never pondered or Alexanander Bell never tinkered?

Lend your energy and focus on God and he will concentrate your gifts and talents for you.

Little things can be big.

Last week I had some furniture removalists collect some things my wife donated to Vinnie's. I was a bit discouraged about a health problem at the time. First thing in the morning before they arrived I heard God tell me he would give me a sign that day.The removalist guys were great and very friendly. We talked about football and how one of the guys barracked for a team that was very unlucky. He told me how next year was going to be better when I teasingly said it would take a miracle for them to win a grand final. Without hesitation he looked at me and said "miracles happen" and then said goodbye. I thought nothing of it at the time except as I lay in bed that night and thought about my sign. God,where was it? Its not always a burning bush or a billboard or winning lottery ticket. Its also in the words of total strangers. Be a miracle for someone today.
