next level
Posted by andybwarren on December 26, 2007
First off, I hope you had a great Christmas! I have had such a great Holiday. I am in the middle of a 10 day break and outside of my daily prayer time my schedule has consisted of eating, relaxing, playing football with Gabriel, napping, playing a few new board games with Brooklyn and appreciating my family.
One of the gifts Gabriel (my 7 year old) got was a new football. He got a ‘college-size’ football and it’s a step up in size for him. So he put on his new Cincinnati Bengals helmet and we went outside to try out this new ball.
I talked to him about how this ball is a little bigger than his flag football and it might be a little bit harder but if he keeps trying and doesn’t get frustrated he’ll do great.
Guess what: He did great!
My point: In life we all need to be challenged to go the next level – staying in neutral or refusing to advance causes us to get stagnant. Whether it’s how much you encourage, or the amount of money you save or the convictions you have I believe that we should always be striving to go the next level.
Gabriel dropped a few passes but his Father was there to encourage Him the whole time. As you attempt to get to that next level be confident that God will be there with you.
How about you? What new level do you need to get to?
Shoot me a line back and let me know!
