I am......

As a believer of the Christian faith, I believe that I am created? Not only am I created but I am created in the image of God? Not only am I created in the image of God, but He has passed down to me some of His talents and abilities. I am not saying that the human race could be considered equal, nor am I saying that we could god-like?  I am saying that Jesus was fully human and fully God while living a somewhat "normal" human existence.  Now Peter was not God but he walked on water! What does that tell you of the potential that God has placed in your un-tapped life?

Now let's go back when God sends Moses to the children of Isreal to call them out of Egypt.  Moses asks, "What do I say when they ask who sent me?"  In other words he wants to know Gods name that the people will recognize Him!  Do you remember His answer?  "I am that I am!"  Great name right?

Leap forward to the Now!  We study about Gods character?  We study about when we become saved we exchange our old character for His character!  Because we have admitted wrong doing, we repent (stop doing the wrong behavior) and receive Jesus reputation for our old wrong reputation.  It a character exchange!  This is the exciting part!  You no longer can say, "I am a loser."  God is not a loser!  

Every time you say, "I am" you are calling God and yourself a name. You need to use an adjective that will best fit God's character!  I AM capable! I AM ethical! I AM faithful! I AM truthful!  I AM peaceful! I AM phenomenal!  I AM enthusiastic!  I AM energetic!  I AM compassionate! 

Now you tell me who I AM.........  You are also.....

Re-inventing your passion

What do you do when you find yourself going through a mundane life?  Do you enjoy living mediocrity? Why then do you continue down a consistent path of no surprises, no excitement, and no energy?  How do you make a change?  Is it a gradual transition?  Do you just shock the system and drop everything for the change?  What is your passion?  Do you have one?  Have you tried anything new that got your motor running?  Let's consider ways to try new things.

First sit down and talk with those who know you best.  People who aren't trying to manipulate you for their gain is a good place to start?  After talking with your circle of influence, write down all the ideas and create a plan to the top three.  These plans of the top three should be detailed out to who, what where, why and how for starting!  

Now that your plan is written, you must take the first step.  The great news of reinventing your passions is nothing new, but is so important that you are passionate about your life.  If you don't get passionate about anything then you will be frustrated at everything!  It could be as simple as......______!  What are you willing to do to plug in and enjoy life again?  It's not hard and takes just a couple easy steps and you get to spend time with people who care and love you! Now go and get crackin!
