Use your uniqueness to take great risks for God!
The only mistake is not to risk making one...
He lavished you with strengths in this life and a promise of the next. Go out on a limb; he won't let you fall. Take a big risk; he won't let you fail. He invites you to dream of the day you feel his hand on your shoulder and his eye on your face. "Well done," he will say, "good and faithful servant."

You've probably seen my facebook pics? Seems like the perfect family, the perfect thanksgiving?
I had much trepidation preparing for this trip. So much to do and so much fear combined with a all out get up and no go flu.I wanted to make a perfect holiday , a perfect thanksgiving memory, a time when all in life stands still and we can just be happy. You know a good night John Boy Walton's mountain thanksgiving .But our family is not on Walton's mountain, we are somewhere between Gilligan's Island and Andy , Opie and Aunt Bee.
Now you probably got that tune whistle stuck in your head ? Right?
Anyways, back to my point. When dealing with physical and mental illness your world turns upside down. You wonder and second guess yourself at every angle. You wonder if you should even attempt to bring about some normalcy into your life .And then you open your devotional and the truth just smack's you in the face. Take risks as you are now . Not after you feel better, not after your life's completely cleaned up. Just open your heart as fearful as that may be and let God do the rest. Perfection is not required of you, neither is having all your ducks in a row. Believe me my ducks are all over the pond. Yesterday is gone, tomorrow may never come but we have today.
