Do whatever you feel like.

Kid on the bus, "Hey Napoleon what are you gonna do today?"
Napoleon Dynamite, "Whatever I feel like I wanna do. Gosh!
(Hilarious...in a painful sort of way)

What if everything that we did had to go through some sort of committee or needed the approval of all of your friends and associates. It would take forever to get everyone up to speed and then the opportunity would likely have passed.

Don't get me wrong I think that we all need advise and help planning life changes and big projects. We need to seek wisdom from the Lord for words to say and which actions to take. The Bible says that God will give wisdom if we ask for it; we must never rule out the premise that God wants us to succeed in matters of faith and life, as long as we remember Him in our affairs .

I am talking about just reaching out to be a friend or saying an encouraging word. At times maybe we need to just be quiet and listen to someone who needs our ear to sort out a situation in their life. We will not always have the answers and it is a little arrogant to think that we might; so get passed that notion. It is like the old adage that says "God gave us two ears and only one mouth, so we should be twice as good at listening as we are at speaking." Jesus is the only one with all of the answers; that is the beauty of prayer, we can take our situations to the one who has, and is the answer.

Hey do whatever you feel like you wanna do, do something without having others to help you plan it all out. Do something spontaneous and self-determined. Be sure you build up and don't tear down. Please do not throw anything from, (or  anyone under) the bus.
