Okay, well let me tell you what happened today.
so I was talking with a friend and he was telling me how difficult it is to distinguish who is a male and who is a female these days, and so we were laughing about it making fun of him and how he could potentially pick the wrong person.
Then I said,” I think there’s a market for a website here, if you’re looking for straight people, it’s just dedicated to straight people. Looking for a straight female or looking for a straight male? I’m not saying I will build one but someone could and it will probably be a good investment.
One of my friends and co-worker Wayne, heard me say that, and then he started poo-pooing on the idea.
He came up with so many reasons why it wouldn’t work. What about this, what about that? How would you do such and such? What happens if this happens what would you do….It’s not going to work, no way!
It was like I was getting hit by mike Tyson over and over again.
I’d try to come back with a few solutions to his questions and he would start again. finally, I said, stop poo-poo on my idea.
So that’s where I got don’t poo-poo on my idea.
So long story short we joked we laugh and later on that day…
a small voice inside me said…
You do that as well.
I said do what?
Poo-poo on your own ideas!
When I heard that in my heart, I’m like, wow that is so right on, spot on, I do poo-poo on my ideas.
I stood there in amazement at how the Lord used this incident to teach me something important. I just had to take a moment and realize it was Him!
He was right I do Poo-Poo a lot!!!
For instance, I would have a wonderful idea that comes from out of nowhere. I get so excited about how it could change lives. Then just a quick, I start to put down the idea and come up with so many reasons why it won’t work. Then before you know it the excitement fades and I do nothing with it!!!
(Side note: remind me to share the message yesterday from church. I just realized it goes hand in hand with this post!!! Wow, God, you are so awesome!)
Now the story continues…
So I told Wayne what I thought the Lord was saying to me about how I poo-poo my own idea and how He used this situation to bring light to a bad habit of mine. I was grateful for this discourse.
So a few hours later, out of the blue, an idea came to me and I jotted it down. I got really excited about this new idea. I was playing it out in my mind how it would work….
Then the voice came to me again and said…
Are you going to poo-poo this idea?
I’m like, oh my Lord, I have no choice I have to carry this one out. I have to follow through on this idea. It’s like this was a setup. Definitely a setup.
So there you have it.
I’m following through on this idea. I will not poo-poo on this idea.
If you want to know what this idea is all about, click the link Here it’s on another page. I’ll talk to you about the idea. I think it’s kind of exciting, I really do. I think it’s going to be amazing.
Oh before I forget…
The message from church and how it fits together.
I have the message cued at the location where I think it matters to this conversation.
See what you think, check it out.
As you listen to this message think of the seed the Pastor is talking about as an idea. It could be an idea from God. Enjoy!!!
