You know those old Clint Eastwood movies where they are in a stare down at opposite sides of the dessert or corral and this can go on for quite some time, the movie writers make a killing off of you watching at least 10 minutes of two men staring at each other and all the camera does is shoot back and forth between the two mens facial expressions and them acting like they are reaching for their guns. So after watching intently at these scenes you wonder, "okay who's gonna die here, it can't be Clint, he's the good guy, but still you watch and for 10 minutes you are watching the simplest scene the movie producers and directors could have ever shot, but your still watching...why?....I'll tell you why, because you want to see what happens, even though it may seem perfectly predictable, but then out of no where and when you least expect it...BAM, Clint shoots the mediator, the middle guy, the guy calling the fight and there it is, that moment, the one you didn't expect, thats why you were watching it, for the chance that something unexpected might in fact happen.
I said all that to say this, I think sometimes in our lives, we are a lot like those old Clint Eastwood scenes. We wait around, and wait around, and wait around till we wonder why are we still waiting around, wether it be at that dead end job when you know what you are really meant to do just to afraid to take the risk, or wether your just waiting around for your butt to get up off that couch and drive it self to the gym, or maybe your waiting for God to move or for the sky to fall or for anything else to happen just as long as it's something so you can finally feel like your actually living instead of just passing by.
The truth is sometimes the Lord calls you to be still and let him do the fighting, but other times, and this I have found out is most of the time, you need to take the gun out of the holster and shoot the mediator, the middle man, you know that voice that tells you to just stay where your at, that the things that you want and wish to achieve will just somehow magically come to you. Right, if that were the case then why are there all these broken people walking around this earth, with failed possibilities and missed opportunities.... you know why......it's because they listened to that voice, and then just kept listening. It's like they are in a slumber and haven't woken up yet, all the things they meant to accomplish are still waiting for them because they are only things that they were suppose to accomplish, but instead all those dreams, the goals, they just sit there, somewhere between could have, should have, would have.... but didn't.
Let's not let this happen to us! There is still time to get it right, to fix it, to become and do those things. You just have to do it, so lets, and lets promise that we will never give up no matter what the cost. I hope you are all on the road to achieving all your dreams and more! I bid you all a farewell till tomorrow!
