i'm ready to do... something.

so what happens when you have the situation, circumstances, and time just right to do something really mind-blowing... and then you have nothing. you just sit there, staring blankly at the screen, wondering if there is any more M&M's in your desk drawer.

so that's where i'm at - i'm ready to do... something. do you ever get that itch? to do something? i want to be creative. i want to get my hands dirty. i want to be able to step back and be able to see what has been accomplished. i'm ready to do... something.

that's when i realize that this maybe the time to step back and see what is done.

do you know what i enjoy? house painting - more specifically, painting a room. my wife has had me do this many times & what i like the most about painting a room is that in just a matter of minutes, you can stop and see what you have done. if you're like me, you want to finish as fast as possible. but it's in the brief moments when you are refilling the paint tray that you glance up & see how much you have done.

today i'm ready to do... something. but maybe it's time to stop. turn off the tv, ipod, and cell phone and consider what is done.

and then i came across Job 37-38. i got to Job 37:14 - "Job [insert your name here], are you listening? Have you noticed all this? Stop in your tracks! Take in God's miracle-wonders! Do you have any idea how God does it all...?"

so here's the deal: i'm ready to do something - stop, consider, and thank God!
