What is your Giant?

By
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams Realty Elite

I just finished watching Facing the Giants for the third time and I never tire of watching it and learning from it. Its an excellent spiritual motivator and the more I watch it, the more I really watch it.

As the movie went on, I began to trade places with the Coach, as we have some likeness, and contrasted his position with my own. Given the general consensus of our economy and the attitudes associated with, I determined my Giant are the economic attitueds with those I come into contact with. Trying to help others overcome their own fear of buying or selling in a volatile economy without misleading, misinforming and misguiding my clients. That is my Giant for the coming year.

After deliberation, I was reminded of 4 things: 1) Nothing is impossible for God; 2)We are a people called to serve Him; 3) He wants us to succeed and 4) with God, fear has no place in our life.

I'm taking a vacation over the next 10 days to a place where I'm sure to get perspective. I pledge upon my return to write down and remind myself daily the 4 reminders about my Giant with the faith that God is my rock, provider and source of life.

What is your Giant? How will you face it? I wish a blessed year for all in 2009.

Hi Jesse, I liked your post. I haven't seen the movie.... but my Giant is the same as yours, and my Giant is overcoming my fears about getting lost on the mountain roads that are new to me. I go out all the time, and I'm learning my way...much like life in general! Have a fabulous 10 days off! All the best for 2009!

That is one of my favorite movies, and I NEVER tire of it either. There is so much truth wrapped up in that movie. Everyone should watch this movie at least twice a year. In fact, I NEED to watch it next week. I can't think of a better way to start the new year.

I'm very happy that I happened upon your post. I'm going to subscribe to your blog and add you as an associate. I'm looking forward to knowing you more. 

Happy New Year!!! May 2009 be THE YEAR that ALL YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE!! ~GBU~

Jessie,  Well, like Elizabeth, I just happened upon your post.  Ditto to most of what she said.  I have only seen the movie one time.  Looks like I need to see it again.
