あなたの決断の影響力 The impact of your decisions.
It’s amazing how much we miss out on, just because we don’t turn up!
How often have you been invited out, and then just said “No” for no real good reason?
What happens when you say “Yes”?
Let’s figure this out: Continue reading
About three years ago, I broke my leg.
I was on a snowboarding holiday when it got broken.
That’s the cool version of the story.
The real version?
I was on a snowboarding holiday, but I slipped on the ice when getting off a ski-lift, and my legs went in 2 different directions. I ended up with a small fracture where the ligament joins the lower leg bone, as well as stretching a ligament.
I felt really bad. I couldn’t work, and the brace that I had to wear meant that I couldn’t even walk properly. Of course as you can imagine, I wasn’t thrilled with the prospect of three weeks alone at home.
And of course I’m not even living on the same continent as any of my family.
But my friends from both work and church were there to support me. And not even a single day went by that I didn’t have friends come round to cook, clean or take me to the hospital.
I found that friends can be your family too. And that you don’t have to be alone to be strong.
So this is a great big thank you, to my colleagues and Lifegroup, who helped me through what would have been the hardest trial of living in a foreign country.
Instead it is one of my favorite memories.
Thank you
The other day I went jogging for the first time in a really long time.
I’m not a jogger. I can dance for hours and walk pretty far, but have always told myself that I can’t run for even 30 seconds.
but when I went jogging this time, a friend told me
“Keep on going, you can do it.”
I found that with help, encouragement and challenge, I could go harder and faster than I ever could by my own strength.
In life, we can only get so far by ourselves. With our own strength alone, we can only go as far as we think we can.
How far can you go in life under your own strength?
What do you have in your life that will take you further?
Reasons I often hear and used to use myself…
I can’t spare the money (and by the way have you seen my new DVD?)
I haven’t got the time (oh yeah, did you see that tv show? I never miss it!)
I can’t find the right charity/church/organisation (but I’m not really looking anyway)
