What To Do With a Moment

When a moment is put in motion it creates a movement.

We all experience "moments" throughout our day. Some people call them "Ahh-haa" moments and others a "divine revelation."

...the words of a song speak exactly what we needed to hear.

...a logo on a billboard shouts a slogan that captures our hearts.

... a friend answers a question without knowing it was the doubt we had pondered in our thoughts that morning.

... a scripture provides comfort for our deepest pain.

No matter what these moments are called - we must capture them. We must take hold of each moment and flesh it out. Like Nike says, "Just do it." When that moment takes action in our lives a movement occurs.

Have you ever stood at the edge of a lake when it was so still it looked like glass? You could see the reflection of each leaf on the surrounding trees and the clouds floating slowly in the sky above. What happens when someone throws a pebble into the water? First one ring of water appears, then the next, until the entire pond is affected by that one small stone.

When our "Ahh-haa" moments occur or when God whispers in our ears, we can take that pebble and toss it into the pond of our lives. As the moment lands in our thoughts, actions, and words, we will see the ripples flow from us into the lives of those we touch. A movement will begin in our hearts and spread throughout our families, our workplaces, our neighborhoods, and our communities.

Have you had a moment lately? If so, get movin...and watch the amazing movement that takes place!
