COT:
NMTA Not Meant To Arrive
There are 4 Pillars of arrival:
Can’t arrive. This is a negative mindset. You don’t believe in yourself and we need to fix that immediately.

Has arrived. You’ve made it, now what?
You’re not trying anymore. Afraid to take chances, because you might lose the title. Do not stop. Continue to set goals!

Will arrive. Once XYZ happens, then I’ll be happy. There are people sitting in nursing homes right now, still waiting on XYZ.

Not meant to arrive. This is where we should all strive to be! Become the next best version of yourself. Enjoy the journey just as much if not more than destination.
My development has no end. There is always more to learn, always more to do, and you can learn from every situation and everyone.

Be “Blissfully Unsatisfied!” Brothers!

”Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you your heart’s desires.“
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭37‬:‭4‬ ‭NLT‬‬

COT: [Fred Mitchell] accomplished no great thing. His name was linked with many Christian organizations, but he was the founder of none. He turned the feet of many into paths of righteousness, but not more than others of his contemporaries. He made no spectacular and inspiring sacrifices. He effected no reforms. For the first forty-five years of his life the pathway he traversed was similar to that of thousands of other self-made, moderately successful business men. … On that ordinary, hum-drum track, however, he walked with God, climbing steadily in spiritual experience.

This, I hope, is an encouragement to each of us as we step into this new year, in most cases returning to familiar paths and routine responsibilities. It is in the fulfillment of everyday duties that we live for Christ. Fred has left us an example as one who was always on the lookout for the opportunity to explain the way of salvation to those whom he met along the way. “One thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.”

In the book Not the Way It’s Supposed to Be: A Breviary of Sin, Christian author Cornelius Plantinga described the biblical concept of shalom:

The webbing together of God, humans, and all creation in justice, fulfillment, and delight is what the Hebrew prophets call shalom. We call it peace but it means far more than mere peace of mind or a cease-fire between enemies. In the Bible, shalom means universal flourishing, wholeness and delight – a rich state of affairs in which natural needs are satisfied and natural gifts fruitfully employed, a state of affairs that inspires joyful wonder as its Creator and Savior opens doors and welcomes the creatures in whom he delights. Shalom, in other words, is the way things ought to be.

COT: Talked about The Little Drummer Boy – he didn’t have anything to bring to Jesus, but he had a drum and he played his heart out for the King.  Don’t ever think you have nothing to offer to the King.

It recalls the story of the widow at the temple. She gives very little compared to the larger tithes being offered by the wealthy Pharisees, but the offering represents all she owns in the world
