The Whole Enchilada

enchiladaAttention: Do not wait for the perfect timing! Yes, there is a time for everything; you may not be in the season of time for the “whole enchilada”—but what part of your dream can you pursue?

With everything we do there are stages and processes—even making enchiladas.

Upgrade skills.

Make connections.

And off you go, readjusting as needed and moving closer to your dream.

The thing is this: it is not only about the end results, it is about the process and what is forged in it and the joy that comes forth from pursuing it.

Here is an experiment for you. In conversations with people over the next week, see what ideas and concepts light up their body language and spark the conversation. There are things people are so passionate about—and geared to do.

Encourage people to make their “enchiladas,” even if they have to grow the corn, the beans, buy a cow for the dairy products, etc. for the long-haul process. Or maybe they can just go on to Pinterest and look at enchilada photos and recipes. If they are passionate about “enchiladas” they should be somewhere in the process—right?

What is your “enchilada?”

Bold as a Lion

I was just about ready to turn my car off and I reached over to the volume on the radio and turned it up to see if it was on—don’t ask, I don’t know why, I just did it. And in that moment I heard the beginning and ending of a familiar scripture, “The righteous are bold as lions.” It’s from the latter half of Proverbs 28:1. I turned off the car and went up the driveway with a bit more boldness. I have been mindful of this scripture all day, sharing it with one friend, letting God’s Word embolden me.

Many of you have things that you need to have boldness, or rather confidence, God-confidence to accomplish.

Are lions afraid? I can’t picture them being so.  I am not a big cat expert—nor domestic cats for that matter, but I think they are gutsy creatures. Aren’t they?

I hope this speaks to you like it has me, presently and in the past—heads up, smiles on, we can do this thing—whatever it is requiring some courage and confidence. I know I have a list of things that will benefit by taking the character of the “boldness of a lion.” Of course I don’t need all the characteristics of a lion, but bold confidence to face life and all of its challenges, ya, I need that.
