MONDAY 8/19

 

THE WORD “MISSION” GETS TOSSED AROUND A LOT TODAY.  YOU HEAR IT ON THE CORPORATE LEVEL, IN THE POLITICAL WORLD AND CERTAINLY IN THE RELIGIOUS WORLD.  AND WITH A MISSION THERE ARE GOALS AND OBJECTIVES.  THE MAGIC MARKER AND POSTER BOARD PAPER INDUSTRIES HAVE MADE A FORTUNE OFF OF THAT WORD.  ALL OVER THE WORLD PEOPLE SIT AROUND TABLES DEBATING AND ARGUING PASSIONATELY ABOUT EACH AND EVERY NUIANCE THAT GOES INTO THAT WORD THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE YOUR GPS FOR WHO KNOWS HOW LONG.  BUT TODAY, IN YOUR OWN LITTLE WORLD JUST KIND OF PRAY OVER AND ASK YOURSELF “WHAT IS MY MISSION TODAY”.

 

TUESDAY 8/20

 

DID YOU DO WHAT I SUGGESTED YESTERDAY.  LET ME REFRESH YOUR MEMORY:  PRAY OVER AND ASK YOURSELF “WHAT IS MY MISSION TODAY” .  IS YESTERDAY’S MISSION GOING TO BE THE SAME AGAIN TODAY.   SOMETIMES I GET TIRED OF HAVING TO SAY WHAT MY MISSION IS.  SOMETIMES I WHAT TO DO IT BACKWARDS.  I WANT TO GO THRU MY DAY AND DO WHAT NEEDS TO GET DONE. SOMETIMES I JUST WANT TO DO WHAT’S NEEDED FOR THE MOMENT FOR THE WHEEL THAT’S SQUEAKING THE LOUDEST.  THEN I WANT TO LOOK BACK AND SAY “THAT WAS MY MISSION FOR THE DAY; DO WHAT HAD TO BE DONE.  DOES THAT ALWAYS HAVE TO BE BAD OR BE SEEN AS A MINIMAL STANDARD?

 

WEDNESDAY 8/21/19

 

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!!!! DOESN’T THAT REALLY FEEL GREAT AND AWESOME.  TO BE ABLE TO SAY THOSE WORDS OFTEN BRINGS A HUGE RUSH. THOSE WORDS PROBABLY SIGNAL A VERY SUCCESSFUL END TO SOME LONG TERM PROJECT OR BURDENSOME TASK.  BUT  FOR SOME TIMES, JUST GETTING TO WORK IN ONE PIECE ON TIME IS A MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.  SOMETIMES HAVING THE STRENGTH TO THINK ONE GOOD THOUGHT ABOUT YOUR SPOUSE OR PARTNER IS A MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.  BEING ABLE TO MAKE IT THRU THE NIGHT WITHOUT A DRINK OR A SNORT IS A MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.  IF WE CANT HAVE A LITTLE DAILY MISSION ACCOMPLISHED EACH AND EVERY DAY HOW DO WE EVER EXPECT TO GET THE BIG MISSION ACCOMPLISHED?

 

THURSDAY 8/22/19

 

500 YEARS AGO WHEN TELEVISIONS  WEIGHED 100,000 POUNDS AND COULD TAKE UP HALF YOUR LIVING ROOM FLOOR SPACE THERE WAS A SHOW CALLED MISSION IMPOSSIBLE.  THE TEAM WAS GOING TO BE GIVEN A SEEMINGLY IMPOSSIBLE MISSION AND THE NEXT LINE WAS  “IF YOU CHOOSE TO ACCEPT THIS MISSION”.  WE’VE ALL HAD OUR SHARE OF IMPOSSIBLE MISSIONS IN LIFE.  YOU TAKE CARE OF ONE AND ANOTHER COMES ALONG TO SCREW UP YOUR LIFE AND MAKE IT MISERABLE.  IF SOMEONE TOLD YOU THERE ARE NO IMPOSSIBLE MISSIONS IN LIFE, JUST IMPOSSIBLE PEOPLE YOU’D PROBABLY HAVE LITTLE OR NO RESPECT FOR THEM.  ALWAYS REMEMBER THIS.  WHEN GOD’S AROUND THERE REALLY IS NO IMPOSSIBLE MISSION.  AND WHEN HE’S NOT AROUND, WELL HE’S STILL AROUND.

 

FRIDAY 8/23/19

 

I’M NOT A MILITARY PERSON.  BUT IT SEEMS IN A LOT OF MOVIES WITH MILITARY THEMES I’VE HEARD THE PHRASE “ABORT MISSION”.  WE KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS. STOP! CHANGE OF PLANS! THIS ISNT GOING TO WORK!  AND THAT’S OK.  SOMETIMES MISSIONS HAVE TO BE ABORTED, STOPPED.  THERE HAS TO BE A CHANGE OF PLANS.  A MISSIONS NOT GOING TO WORK.  DON’T BE AFRAID TO MAKE THAT CALL IN YOUR OWN PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL LIFE.  BEING ABLE TO ABORT A MISSION IS A GREAT OPTION SOMETIMES.  AND IT DOESN’T HAVE TO BE THE END OF THE WORLD.  IT CAN BE THE BEGINNING OF SOMETHING NEW AND EXCITING.  THE LORD GAVE US THE ABILITY TO ABORT.  DON’T HEASITATE TO USE THAT OPTION WHEN IT’S THE RIGHT THING TO DO  IN YOUR LIFE.

 

SATURDAY 8/24/19

 

WHEN I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL EVERY YEAR WE HAD A MISSION FESTIVAL.  IT WAS AN OPPORTUNTIY TO RAISE MONEY FOR “THE MISSIONS”  THAT USUALLY MEANT HELPING PEOPLE IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES OR IN VERY POOR AREAS OF THE STATES.  YOU DESERVE TO HAVE A MISSION FESTIVAL FOR YOURSELF.  YOU DESERVE TO DO SOMETHING THAT WILL HELP YOU, REFRESH YOU AND GIVE YOU WHAT YOU NEED IN YOUR DAY TO DAY WORLD.  DO SOMETHING GOOD FOR YOURSELF.  IT WILL HELP YOU IN YOUR OWN PERSONAL MISSION.

 

SUNDAY 8/25

 

HOW DO YOU DECIDE IF YOUR GOING TO ACCEPT A MISSION?  WHAT MAKES A MISSION APPEAR TO BE IMPOSSIBLE? HOW AND WHEN DO YOU DECIDE IF A MISSION NEEDS TO BE ABORTED? IS THERE SOMETHING IN YOUR LIFE THAT IS CONSISTENTLY INTERFERING WITH  YOU BEING ABLE TO SCREAM “MISSION ACCOMPLISHED? IS THERE A CERTAIN MISSION YOU NEED TO HAVE EACH AND EVERY DAY? IS THERE A LIFE MISSION THAT NEEDS TO BE RE-EVALUATED EVERY NOW AND THEN AND IS IT SOMETHING YOU DO ON YOUR OWN OR WITH OTHERS?  YOU’LL NEVER BE ABLE TO ANSWER ANY OF THESE QUESTIONS IF YOU DON’T ABANDON YOURSELF TO THE HIGHER POWER THAT IS OUT THERE AND THAT MAKES A DIFFERENCE.
