So, let's talk about one of the secret projects that I am working on. I won't say that it is but I will say, I feel behind. Which I so odd because there is no deadline on this one project. Nothing, nadda, no pressure. The only person that even knows I am working on something, isn't hounding me to get anything done. So, why do I feel behind.
Well, it's because I know what I am supposed to be doing and I'm not doing it.
Coach Grant is the leader of the Eagles football team. He just ended this sixth year of coaching with another loosing season. He feels like he has done everything that he could, and it's not enough. On top of that, he house is falling apart, his car is breaking down, him and his wife are having trouble having a baby, and the world is falling down around him.
He feels like he is going to throw in the towel when he decides that do the one thing that he hasn't done, give it all to God.
Grant is a believer that hasn't be doing much of it for a little while now. The night he hits rock bottom, is the night he studies God's word and decides that he needs to get his priorities back on track. He has to put God in his life first, and then he has to have everything in his life fall in line after that. The moment that he commit to changing his life, God starts to show up. Not just in the areas of this life that he needs to be fixed but in other ways he never expected.
Not only did his life turn around, but several members on his team's lives started to change. Several were saved, and turning their lives to God, their relationships turned toward the better, new members join and were successful in other way they never dreamed of, and the team ends up going to the the State Championships, and winning.
I have always loved the movie! It's one that always fills me with hope, and reminds me who I belong to. Also, who isn't inspired by the death crawl scene? That scene is so good because if we have faith the voice that is telling us we can do something, and we blind our eyes to the goal we mentally set, we get farther than we ever thought was possible. I think that is how I feel now in the project.
I took a break from my secret project, mainly because I have been very busy and not able to provide the attention that I want to give it. Also, because I needed to step back a bit and figure some things out. Listing to that voice is a good thing. God told me last year to take a break from these projects, and now I am doing so much better all around! I wasn't forcing myself to do something that I wasn't passionate about just because "it's what I have been doing the last few years". I listened the whole week when I was worried I was going to loose the moment on this project and God just said to slow down and wait.
The reason that I was worried about the momentum? I am in a place I never thought I would be. I never thought I would get nearly as far as I have. I am in such scary and unfamiliar territory that I have no idea what to do with myself!
I am very excited to get started again, but I know that I can't have it control my whole life and taking a step back is actually better for me in the long run.
