"A Crack Will Do"

Opportunity MAY be knocking at your front door. That window of opportunity MAY have been left wide open for you. But what about the smaller venue in which opportunity just as happily and eagerly presents itself? What about that little CRACK or crevice that you keep overlooking because you are searching for that big UPS package and get disappointed when the mailman brings you a letter? You see that letter could very well be that CRACK that you keep on overlooking that did not come in the form of a knock at the front door or an OBVIOUS wide open window. For all you know, the contents of that letter could far outweigh the physical weight of that bulky box/package that you think holds greater worth due to its size and size alone.

Don't get me wrong, for some size does indeed matter, but for the wise, knowledge of your size matters more. Opportunity has extreme versatility! How it presents itself today will probably differ from how it will present itself tomorrow or how it presented itself the day before. How we receive our opportunity should be just as versatile. I cannot begin to think about the opportunities that I have personally passed up because it did not come in the form of a big UPS box that I had to sign for.

In retrospect, the vast majority of my biggest opportunities were delivered in the smallest of venues. That offer letter for the new job at a higher salary. Fatherhood of my two bundles of joy. The day I asked about the memorization of the Church Covenant. And that small book that I carry around in my truck and with me every Sunday morning. Therefore, that CRACK or crevice, my venue, will be more than sufficient for me to "Make it Happen." Opportunity IS as opportunity DOES.

With that said....

"A Crack Will Do" since my non-discriminatory attitude towards blessings is alive and well!

"A Crack Will Do" since HE does not need a door nor a window in order to make HIS presence known.

"A Crack Will Do" since the recognition of opportunity oft times comes in the form of hard work, hence the reason why it's missed by so many, so often.

"A Crack Will Do" to keep me on my toes as I seek HIM out in search of what HE has in store for me and the manner in which HE plans on delivering it AND me.

So go ahead and sign for your big UPS box. It may or may not hold the contents that you are in search of. Whether or not it does, be conscious of how you determine its net worth.

The next time Corey is on the lookout for a "delivery," I WILL be checking for the mailman.

What can Brown do for YOU? NOTHING......compared to GOD. HE is "one size fits all."

Love and My Mother are the Inspiration!
Love and My Mother are the Motivation!
Love and My Mother are the Celebration!

All the Best, All the Time!
