Responsibility

Responsible, defined by dictionary as:
1. answerable or accountable, as for something within one's power, control or management 
2. involving accountability or responsibility 

My biggest pet peeve, giving someone all the tools they need to accomplish their responsibility and they don't do it anyway.  Got me thinking, what tools is God giving me that I am not using to accomplish what I am responsible for.  If that is my pet peeve, and it gets me fired up, I can only imagine how many times in my life that God could have gotten fired up at me but instead He gave me another chance.

Step one in my 2009 God dreams journey...give more people less of my fire and more of my chances.

So true. God gives us repeat chances to use our gifts. Your post got me thinking too, how many gifts do I have that I'm not using. Hmm?

I'll tell ya what...we'll both give less of our fires 2 others. I'm comforted knowing I'm not the only one.
