Lessons Learned 2014
Zechariah 4:6 So he said to me, "This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: 'Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,' says the LORD Almighty. I crave expectations and goals, and I get a high when I can check one off the list. Not too long ago, I completed four months of work to create a beautiful list and portfolio of projects in anticipation of a deadline. The timeline should have allowed all projects to be wrapped up in a neat bow...but one thing after another stalled progress. In spite of my greatest efforts I left one project dangling. I simply could not make it happen no matter how hard I tried. My expectation of praise for the volume accomplished was quickly replaced with the words, "I'm disappointed." My spirit was crushed, but I had to hold my head high and know that even though my best was not sufficient, I had given my all. I left the meeting, sat down at my desk, and my eyes met with a scripture taped on the wall...Zechariah 4:6.
