Do you know your 'IT'?


Life is about finding your 'IT' or so it seems.
We grow up and try all the sports and instruments.
We go to school and flex our academic muscles to see where we excel.
We move away to college to find our career.
We move from career to career to find our niche.
We hone our niche to find the 'IT' that will bring us the most success and the most happiness.

But the Kingdom of God recognizes success as material and instead reorients us toward another metric called "fruit" and it stomps on temporal happiness and moves to something longer lasting called "joy." And if you can find where fruit and joy meet then you've found your 'IT'.

Your greatest Joy + Your greatest Fruit = Your IT Or gJ + gF = IT

It took me a long time to find my IT...but after 35 years I know what it it.

My greatest joy and my greatest fruit are found when:
* I'm living the Kingdom life with my family
* I'm living the Kingdom life as an ambassador, bridge builder and spiritual coach in a place called Superior, Colorado.
* I'm living the Kingdom life as a developer and encourager of existing and emerging Kingdom leaders anywhere in the world.

It took me a long time to find my IT (the intersection of my greatest joy and my greatest fruit), but when I finally did and I could see both joy and fruit present.....that was a very cool day!

I'll be talking more about IT in the coming days and walk you through some of the ways I found IT more specifically.

Do you know your IT?
