IT'S MY TURN!!!

I was sittin here watching a show called "Smart Guy". I think this show is soo funny. On this particular episode the oldest brother created a band but needed a keyboard player. Lo and behold he heard his youngest brother, the smart guy, playing the keyboard and sounded pretty good. His dad advised him to add his lil brother to the band. The big brother took dads advice. The band had a performance coming up so they started to practice. During practice everyone in the band had a lead part except the little brother. The Lil brother didn't like being treated like that so he decided to take it upon himself to do a lead part during the performance. He did a great job, but he stole the show from his big brother. The Lil brother always get attention and accolades because he has a high iq and does well in everything he participate in.

As soon as I saw this I started to think about some of my own experiences in similar situations. I have 3 awesome brothers that I am so proud of and look up to. Everybody in my family love to see them coming. They are good looking, smart, love their family, have great hearts, and they each are pursuing and somewhat living their dreams. We all come from the same household, same parents, same neighborhood, same love and faith in God, but different results for me and my sisters. I ask them lots of questions, I follow much of their advice, I watch them closely and model my parenting after their wonderful wives. Some of the things that I noticed about them that I lack is that they complete what they start no matter how long it take. They don't allow the naysayers to infiltrate. They are not easily deterred nor discouraged, once they set their mind on a goal, mission, or vision you better move out the way because they are going to persist and see what the end will be, and most of the time what they place their hands on turn to gold.

I will be 40 years young in August. One of my dreams is to minister to women through a book project I started on in 2005. My goal is to have this project completed by my birthday, August 20th. I started blogging as a way to journal this 6 month journey. I know there are others out there who have put their dreams and vision on a backburner for different reasons. I am hoping that by journaling my journey you will be inspired to go after and COMPLETE your mission.
