Where do we start

Have you ever tried to start a project in the middle? I mean, have you ever tried to start doing something without starting at the beginning? I have had the misfortune of trying to put things back together that someone else has taken apart. Others have had that misfortune from me as well. It is difficult to start in the middle.

We often allow what is happening now to determine how we think things are going to turn out. However, what is going on right now is not the end of things, only the beginning.

Today's word is a quote from Nido Qubein, which says, "Your present circumstances don't determine where you can go; they merely determine where you start."

Let's look at it this way, the first time you tried to walk, it probably wasn't successful. I would venture to say that you are walking better today. I would bet that the first time you tried to feed yourself you probably got more on your face and clothes than in your mouth. However, I bet you are feeding yourself quite well now.

What we see today is not necessarily what we will see tomorrow. It can be but it doesn't have to be. We can allow our present circumstances to overwhelm us and cause us to think that this is what it is going to be. Or, we can allow our present circumstances to be the starting point for a better future. Let's start today seeing what GOD wants us to be tomorrow!

Be Blessed,
Mickey T
