This must be THE LORD!

Ok, my Pastor hooked me up with a book editor/writer/publisher that goes to my church (YAY!) and he asked me to assist him on some of his projects. FAVOR!

So far Ive written one book review for a magazine and Im working on transcribing some notes for a book that he’s working on. You wont believe how blessed I was when I read the book I had to review. It was called Leadership by the Book. It taught me how to emulate Jesus and be a servant leader and still achieve earthly success by focusing on helping others to achieve their dreams and goals. It was a great book!

Now, Im transcribing these notes from a man who is teaching about Negative Capablity, which I dont quite understand yet but he said something that stirred me even as I was typing it.

He said:

Why are you wasting time in worry, doubt and frustration wondering why you are facing obstacles? Instead you should focus on the positive possibilities for OVERCOMING them. You refuse to allow the negative forces in the environment to control your emotions.

That speaks to my situation RIGHT now. On my job I was so stressed, even miserable because of the negativity I was experiencing there, but I need to just focus on the possibility of my overcoming them and rejoice in the promise of God that I WILL overcome them and not allow my temporary situation to ruin my joy.

Aint that powerful?

And Im actually getting PAID to read this stuff? Isnt God amazing?
