Opportunities don’t run up and hug us as we traipse down the alley of nothingness.
Opportunity has to find us doing, for it to turn up and when it does turn up, do we recognize it?
It comes in many forms and a whole lot of times, it may not come wrapped in a nice box with bows and flowers.
Do we stand in the way of our own progress with all the road blocks that we inflict on our path, waiting for an opportunity that will land in our laps while we sit on the rocking chair going back and forth and gossiping about the neighbour?
Sometimes, we have to push ourselves out of the rocking chair to get where we want to go.

Sometimes we are our own obstacle so we need to shove out of the way.

Interesting sis, I was just thinking the same thing these past few days. My heart is filled with love and longing to be with my family but stumbling boulders that I know God will blast but as I wait I too feel as if life is flying by. God can’t let me die with the music still inside. 🙂

Amen. He will not permit that to happen. He has to bring that which he has planted to fruition.

I hope I will recognize opportunity when it comes. Do you think it’s possible to get so caught up in the doing that you can get tunnel vision and miss that opportunity because it was hanging out just outside your focus?

It’s really possible Melinda. Very much so as a matter of fact. I pray we recognize them as well.
