Are you in the Pond or in the Puddle?

From the "Life of a Wahm" Blog

A few months ago, I was watching a Beth Moore DVD series titled, "Believing God."

Beth shared a funny little story about how one morning she was out walking her dogs and along the path there happened to be some ducks in a small, dirty puddle. She couldn't help stop and think how odd it was that these ducks were in this puddle when just a few feet away, over the ridge there was a beautiful, large pond! She chuckled as she imagined God looking down saying, "Hello! You are in the PUDDLE! There's a Pond...you are in the puddle!"

How funny is it that many of us at least one time in our lives are splashing around in a small, dirty puddle when just out of our reach is a beautiful pond just waiting for us to find it.

I wondered what would cause these ducks (and us) to stay in the puddle? Is it that we are comfortable in the puddle? Do we feel unworthy of the Pond? Are we settled with living in mediocrity? Do we see other ducks in the Pond and feel jealous or unworthy of being there too?

What exactly holds us back from the pond?

In regards to your home business of life in general, take a moment and decide if you are in a puddle or a pond right now?

If you are in a puddle, what keeps you there?

Are you comfortable? Scared? Lazy? Unworthy? Frozen by fears or thoughts?

What is it?

I do believe that DUCKS do not want to be in a puddle and chances are, neither do you!

The Pond is calling for you! Go ahead, take a dip! It's awesome!

Happy Splashing everyone!
