Don’t Miss Opportunities Because You Don’t Have a Plan
Don’t say no to opportunities…say yes to an organized plan…
People always ask me how I do it all…
The truth is I don’t…
I just have a plan for my life…
And I do the things that fit in that plan…
I hear people say, “I know I need to be ______, but I don’t have time”….
I say “Yes” to Twitter and Facebook, for example, because right now, it works in that plan….(You can read about how that works HERE.)
But I don’t play Mafia Wars on Facebook either…
Why? It doesn’t fit in the plan…
I don’t read everyone’s status updates or look at all the pictures either…
Why? Same reason…
It’s more important that I’m there….making a presence….building connections…
That’s the plan…
Saying no is not the answer….
Saying yes to a plan is…
What are you not doing that you should be doing, because you don’t have a well-defined plan for your life?

Seriously, playing a game that glorifies evil… murder… drugs… prostitution… racketeering… corruption… and all that the Mafia stands for should not be on any Christians plan.
3 John 1:11 Beloved, do not imitate evil but imitate good. Whoever does good is from God; whoever does evil has not seen God.
I came back from a mission trip where 2 pastors were playing “Mafia” with a group of kids in the back of the van. The driver, who was struggling with faith issues, muttered under his breath (I was sitting in the front seat and could hear), “There’s a whole lot of killing going on back there,… they’re not so different from me.”
Everything we do is a witness to others. Mafia Wars is a bad witness.
Wow. Excellent thoughts. I am working through several areas of my life right now in an attempt to live a more planned life. Thank you for the encouragement!
