Two Approaches to Life : What We Like About Our Approach, by Will and Jeremy

Will here:

The approach I have to life has made me a great planner; I'm able to organize stuff based around a big picture. I'm a great dreamer; I can hear an idea, and immediately see where it go in 10 or 20 years. I'm a deep thinker and can connect concepts very easily. I know how to work, and I'm an early riser who can jump into the day. I'm good at helping people, and I'm a good listener. I don't need to be the center of attention, I actually really hate it.

I like the fact that I'm a good planner. I like to be organized, and I really enjoy looking at the big picture. I love the beating the sun up, and I enjoy a hard day's work, and I like that I like those things. I like helping people, and I find myself constantly wishing I could do more to help people. I find myself dreaming with people, looking at what their big picture can look like, and helping them achieve their dreams.

In short, I like the aspects of my approach to life that allow me to enrich the lives of others, because in doing that, my own life is enriched.

TO GOD ALONE BE THE GLORY!

Jeremy:

I love the freedom that comes when you approach life without this nailed down plan and process in life. I love the adventure that comes as you watch life unfold and move with it. There is no set boundary or way to live. I can adapt and change with a single phone call, which actually happened to me once. Several years ago while at a church function on a Saturday afternoon I received a phone call from the high school I had graduated from eight years before asking if I wanted to be a math teacher for the coming year. This caall came in August; school started in September. My whole direction changed. I went to my boss on Monday and told him I was taking another job. Now, this may not sound very difficult even for a planner, but for me specifically it was not a difficult decision to take. It didn’t disrupt any previously held idea or plan. I have had several of those sorts of things happen in my life. It adds a sort of adventure to life living with a basic idea or dream and allowing life to unfold around you. I don’t need to control life and make it fit a 5 year plan. I can actually live life and allow God to lead and guide me where He wants to take me. Proverbs 16:9 says that a man plans his way but the Lord directs his steps.
