Boast Not About Tomorrow

The title of today’s post comes from Proverbs 27:1. Why? This morning, I tried to get up, show up, and take the next step with our culturally diverse group that will bring us all closer to making our big dreams come as we help each other achieve great things in 2007. Unlike most mornings, my body had other plans and rebelled when I tried to rise to my feet. I couldn’t breathe deeply enough to talk, which hindered my ability to tell my wife, KWiz, what was wrong with me.
I had big productions plans for today but God had other plans for my day. So, off to the hospital I go to find out why my lungs were malfunctioning. Upon my arrival to the emergency room, I was immediately subjected to a plethora of lab tests and chest x-rays. Needles are always a part of the diagnostics one in my ailing condition must endure in order to draw blood samples from my uncooperative veins. Ouch!
The doctors and nurses determined that I had “acute bronchitis.” But by grace still go I, not the “Laws of Attraction.” If The Secret had anything to do with my unforeseen visit to the emergency room this morning, I will wait for God to reveal the reasons why my plans got delayed, but not denied.
Maybe, writing about “Tenacity” attracted an opportunity for me to prove to you that I can keep “pushing past the pain” as evidenced by the fact I still got up and showed up today. I guess Attila the Hun knew what he was talking about when he stated that Tenacity is indeed one of many essential leadership qualities.
God willing, and if the creek in my lungs doesn’t overflow again, I will meet you here tomorrow.
