GAP's (Pre-Revelation Zone's)

It's my opinion that of all the wonderful benefits life gives us, one of the top tier is the opportunity for self-improvement. While some choose to look at it as a grind, I see it as a gift always giving me the chance to change my life for the better. It helps me adjust the sales job of we're "doomed for despair" I feel and hear in the media, to the "skies the limit" assurance I feel when I break outside of the daily rut.

This Monday and Tuesday at Metro, I had the opportunity to spend 18 hours with our courageous Lead Team and Victor from Klemmer & Associates. The goal in mind was to get our team from where we are, to where we want to go and deal with the GAP that is standing in the middle. First objective was to Identify Gap, and then Eliminate the Gap. Let me tell you, I love being part of a team that's willing to get down and dirty and deal with their gaps, because let's face it, most people feel like they've already arrived. But our crew was ready to step out of the boat and take on the waves of change that are needed to improve on our potential.

We learned that a gap isn't necessarily a negative issue, as our facilitator showed us that a GAP stands for "God Always Positioning" us. But that's not how most of us have been raised. Gaps meant we've been doing something wrong...we're not bright enough...not gifted enough...not strong enough...not good enough. But I have great news for you today. When you look around and see gaps in your own life, think of them as "Pre-Revelation Zones", areas of your life where your Creator is about to show you more than you've ever known about you. He's about to reveal where you're right...bright...gifted...strong...healthy and more than enough to achieve what you're looking for in life. Your GAP's are nothing more than PRZ's.

Let me encourage you today to identify the GAP's in your own life and refuse to allow them to discourage or judge your effectiveness as a person. Instead, let them signal you to slow down for a minute and see what they can truly reveal about your future. Is it really a flaw, or is it God positioning you for something greater about to come your way? Is it a weakness, or is in an opportunity to grow past what was once perceived as your limit? Is it a burial ground for your dreams, or is it your Creator positioning you for the miraculous?

Like any school zone with the flashing yellow lights calling all drivers to Slow Down, I'm inviting you to join us this weekend at Metro Life Church to experience Klemmer & Associates first hand to see how you can improve yourself. As part of our learning this week, our Lead Team was taught the value of self-governing, and how we can all move new principles into the foundation of our life to change our behavior of love, respect, peace, integrity, honesty and trust. That one lesson alone can save a life that's been plagues by gaps. And that's why you need to slow down this weekend and not let anything keep you from services.

On this PrayDay, I'm praying for you and your gaps. I'm also thanking God for Mary Alessi, Armando Gomez, Mory Martinez, David Roman, Desiree Quinones, Jonathon Roman, Jackie Roman, Melanie Gomez, Jason Lamson, Christopher Alessi and the wonderful part-time staff and interns that make up our Lead Team at Metro. At the count of three, everyone say: Metro!
