undefeated losers

hey there.

it's always fun to be undefeated.  there's nothing better than pulling off what you knew you were capable of...  even in the face of every critic.  the kansas city chiefs currently find themselves 3-0, the only  unbeaten team in the nfl!  nobody truly believed they would be in the position they are in this week.  but they have relearned something about themselves:  money & prestige can occasionally have an impact on the win column; but strong hearts and raw talent carry the trump card every time.

go ahead.  get out there and prove your critics wrong.  don't be fooled into thinking that you will win every battle...  but with the right motivation and God's help, you will win the war.

[and also, please pray for the chiefs...]

_that's what matthinx.

leading from our strengths

hey there.

today was life changing and affirming.  we had our monthly all staff team growth meeting here at pcc.  the day was kicked off with one of andy stanley's catalyst videos.  it reminded us that in order to be great in God's Kingdom, we first have to be the servant of all.  powerful stuff!  after that, pastor dave led us through the strengths finder 2.0 book and personalized reports.  it was great to see how beautifully God has knit our team together with complimenting abilities.  the book taught us that we spend our time much better by embracing our strengths, than by constantly working on our weaknesses.  we accomplish much more together when each of us is hitting the sweet spot of our potential, than when each of us is struggling to shore up our individual weaknesses.

my encouragement for you:

no matter where you are, or what you do in life; and no matter where you find yourself serving God...  your efforts will be multiplied when you serve in your sweet spot!  get the book, take the test, serve God.

happy hunting.
