My dad came for a visit last week. He had a defibrillator check and is A-OK. He comes back to see the doctor next month. I love when he comes although he does not stay much more than one night and he has to get back. He is addicted to work.........imagine that!

This weekend I heard a sermon on inspiration......how I inspire others and how others inspire me. To be more specific, I learned about Deborah in the book of Judges and how she was viewed as a hero, a savior, and even a prophet--one who hears the word of God clearly and then inspires others to do amazing things. Deborah was a great judge, leader, and prophetess who rallied the Israelites against the Canaanites, to overcome their enemies in a period of discouragement and defeat.

Who in your life has inspired you? Who strengthens you? Sees your potential? Who wants for you to achieve what God calls you to be? There has to be someone that fits the discription. Or maybe, YOU, have been the one that inspires, the one who strengthens, the one who sees and calls others to keep eyes of faith and pursue their dreams. The point is this.........people who are inspired, are inspiring to others.

One thing is for sure........God desires to be your inspiration. He will work through you to inspire others and likewise, He will work through others to inspire you!
