From Point A

I got trained on "THE CUBE" today and I survived...I say I survived because there was some anxiety there for me as this is a brand new "ballgame"...learning some complicated techie stuff :)  I asked a lot of questions, took notes....and, at the end of the training session, I asked if there was a way for one (like how I made that third person instead of first person?!)  to mess up "THE CUBE"....I mean, are there buttons one should absolutely never push?....The man training me said it is a "read only" cube, so any data I pull or reports I request, pivot, slice, whatever...will never destroy the cube......

SHEW.....that's a load off!

Ever tried to solve the cube and get trapped by your own will to protect the one side you had perfect?...That is why I have always given up.... I think we do it all the time in life....we have one place that is just the way we like it and we don't want to move anywhere else because we don't want to mess that part up.....but, there are many other parts in our life that need tons of work and God wants us to surrender our "perfect" side, so He can work in us on many different levels.  

I have a friend who is a student at Spring Arbor University right now.  She comes into our office during the lunch hour to cover the front desk for phone calls and we joke around when I am leaving for lunch or returning to the office.  She has a fun personality and she and I were laughing about my new responsibilities in "THE CUBE" and I said something like, "If I can ever figure it out!"  AND, she said, "I believe in you....and sometimes that is all it takes."

We were totally joking, but that statement stuck with me all day....finding the way to POINT B requires belief.  If we believe GOD will take us there, we will never give up....if others believe in us, we will be amazingly strengthened in our pursuit.
