Activating Faith in everyday life
I want to be FAT!
Shhh. I know it is unexpected, but it is true. All humor aside, 
You KNOW I mean — I want to be
F aithful
A vailable
T eachable
F.A.T.
So here is my three-point goal for this week:
Faithful
- show up (devotions, meetings, writing, friend/spouse appointments, sleep)
- strive to give before getting. Be focused (make my goal about others first)
- expect God to work
Available
listen – check their eye and body language response – am I making others comfortable?- strive to affirm others’ concerns without thinking about my own – single agenda – be available
- expect God to work
Teachable
- ask – get permission – don’t demand – to utilize their wisdom and experience (and then do what Florence Littauer told me – use it (with appropriate credit)
- strive to build a relationship first (you will listen and learn more from someone you know and respect, and others are more likely to listen to you too.)
- expect God to work
There it is. A recipe for success – if that is, you want to be – you know
FAT!
Job 8:9 For we’re newcomers at this, with a lot to learn,
and not too long to learn it.

Yes, and here’s an interesting thought – what if we fed our soul as often as we do our bodies…and in same proportion of junk, life-giving or not….
Would we be fat – or anemic or???
