I CARRY SOME coffee stir sticks around in my backpack because I want to remember that I need to be a stir stick…
I want to get into the lives of people and stir them up and help them reach their potential and become all God wants them to be.
Even though I’m over fifty, I believe the best years of my life are ahead of me. I’m not going to stand still and watch life go by.
What gets you up in the morning? What stirs your coffee? Do you have the initiative to attempt great things for God? You can create fire by striking a match, and, in the right environment, you could burn off the dried leaves and undergrowth for a whole forrest, removing the main tinder that lets forrest fires get out of hand and become terribly destructive. You small light could ignite a salutary flame that spreads across the country. But Satan does not want us to ignite the country–he wants to keep our little lights stuck in a container.
God wants us to initiate something, to become a stir stick. We don’t want to reach the ends of our lives and say, “What did I really do for the Kingdom? What did I do for my family? What did I do for my work? What did I do that echoes in eternity?” (Dan Erickson)
