ARE YOU FRUSTRATED ENOUGH YET?

Remember the experiment in High school--- introduce 2 frogs into 2 pots of water.   

One pot you heat slowly, gently from lukewarm to boiling--- what happens?   Frog never notices the change, and dies. As for Second pot—you start off with boiling water, drop frog in and immediate response---jump out.

What’s the point?  Are you the lukewarm frog, perhaps frustrated with a situation, you know it’s going to end up bad, but you’re comfortable right now where you are?  I know at times that's been me.

• Let me ask you; what aspect of your life bothers or frustrates you?   
  

  • What are you willing to do about it?

If you are like me for things to change I must be so frustrated that I’m willing to take that leap out of the boiling pot.  Yet so often times I’ve felt like the frog in the lukewarm water…. I sense where I am is not good but unless the sky comes tumbling down, I stay where I am.

That was the situation 9 years ago when I realized my husband and I had no retirement, no pension, no vacation plan and no hopes for the future.  I had to step out of my comfort zone, make that leap of faith.  As a result, we now have a growing retirement plan and plan for future.  I had to get so frustrated that I was willing to jump out of the pot of warm water.

WHAT ABOUT YOU?

What are you totally frustrated with?  What one thing are you sick and tired of?

WHAT ARE YOU WILING TO DO ABOUT IT?

Perhaps it might be weight, finances, relationships, work, you’re living situation---- you know what it is.

Today I would like to encourage you to commit your plans to the God who is able to give you strength to make that jump.  Remember “The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, and He delights in his way.  Thou he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down; for the Lord upholds him with His hand”  (Ps 37: 23,24)

I would love to hear what your “major frustration” is and what one thing you are willing to do to change it.
