Life is bigger than your cubicle

A pen holder, PC, monitor, telephone, your favorite quote strategically displayed, and some pics of the family...does that sound familiar? If it does, it's probably where you spend 8+ hours a day in an 8x8 space called your cubicle. This may not be everyone's space, but we all have a space that we work from. We all have a space where energy is exerted, tremendous effort is made, and time is spent. Then, as it happens almost every day during the week and especially on Friday's check out time is here, but I'll be back. I'll be back either tomorrow or next Monday, then I'll began the routine all over again. Ahhh cubicle life isn't it awesome!

No, I'm not trying to make your life feel dull but check it out. Our lives count for something so much bigger than what we can see right now. Maybe just maybe I hit a nerve and even got some items right about your workspace but what does your Heartspace look like? How about your thought space? How about a vision for your life? Here's a simple analogy from the Dr. Seuss', as big as your heart is for God's purpose, is as big as the life you'll live. Even the Grinch ended up making an impact on his community. What if I told you God wants to do something incredible with your life to make a difference in your job, community, church and in the world, have you ever thought about this? Are you living this way? Do you love what you are doing and are you doing what you love?

Today as I look at the world and some things I'm feeling in my heart I want to encourage you with some simple and challenging words, "Life is bigger than your cubicle." In fact, life is about working from a purpose more than a paycheck and the greatest discovery you can ever make in life is finding what you have been placed on earth to do and actually living it out. Take that purpose to work every day like you do your favorite coffee mug and you'll have more than a job, you'll have purpose. Pray that God grows your heart two sizes bigger so that it can be filled with His heart and His purpose and His plan for your life. There are people all around you that need you to be the person that God has called you to be that's why your lives have crossed paths. I'll leave you with three words that I've seen on twitter and facebook in response to the terrible tragedy in Haiti. Make an Impact. I challenge you, I dare you, I urge you make with every fiber of my being as I type this. Make an IMPACT!
