to be continued

Harry continued to enter Snowman in other competitions, and Snowman continued to win.


I will be consciously aware of the things I am doing to win and do them more. I will continue. 

Harry Knew...

For years, Harry’s great dream had been to produce a champion jumping horse. He’d had moderate success in the past, but in order to compete at the highest levels, he knew he would have to buy a pedigreed horse that had been specifically bred to jump. And that kind of pedigree would cost far more than he could afford.

How beautifully wrong you were Harry Delayer. God can do anything in my life, today. I choose to believe Gods perspective above all others.

In art terms, it defines his style, it's His signature move. Some artists express themselves on a blank canvas, others take something existing and transform it. Both are a manifestation It's safe to say He thoroughly enjoys it.

Keep your eye on the dream

Harry worked with snowman for 3 years before entering him. He knew he'd be mocked but he kept his focus on his dream: A champion jumper.

God loves to take what appears of little value and then reveal its true value. So I will make God happy by not resisting his desire to perform in me.

Eye of Faith

For many years Harry's dream had been to raise a champion jumper. Then he unknowingly sold his Champion jumper to his neighbor for $160. God sent his dream jumping back to him.

Harry had never "seen" the snowman jump over anything larger than a fallen log. It took faith to look past an 8 year old scarred up, flea bitten work horse and see what he could do.

Harry's Dream

God DESIRES to make our dreams come true. It makes him happy so let him.

The Robot

I have this ability to pick up a messy house in record time, I call it going robotic. I just thought I'd dissect it right now because it works really good and needs to be applied to other areas.

1. It's only two steps: Get things into my hands as fast as possible. Get things out of my hands as fast as possible.
2. It has a conscious begin time. I stop and think in my mind. I make a decision that I am the robot and I am going robotic.
3. I know it won't be that long. I know its going to be a half hour to an hour.
4. I know what the end looks like.
5. I set boundaries on interruption. I ask Jamie to handle everything the kids need so I can get it done. I tell the kids I'm going robotic so I can't be stopped or help them for a little while. If I knew in my mind I was going to have to stop in the middle to do something else I'd lose motivation.
6. I usually get sex as a reward but not always.
7. When I'm done I take a break and feel the cleanness and how amazing I transformed it so fast.

So what I'm taking from this:

1. Work in hour bursts
2. Know exactly the steps. Make the process of what I'm doing as simple and clear as possible.
3. Consciously start
4. Know exactly what it will look like in an hour
5. Eliminate all possibility of interruption
6. Have a reward in mind. Probably my dreamline
7. Know that at the end I'll be glorying in the victory

The workhorse wanted?

Does it matter what Snowman wanted? An old, spent workhorse. As God looks upon his creations I do believe that he is mindful of what a horse wants, a field mouse a sparrow. Despite what Snowmans master of the day believed about him, Snowman wanted to jump.

It matters to God what I want. I am his Son.

Ollie wants Hogwarts Castle. A $129 lego set. I want him to have it. When he talks about it there's a voice inside me that says "Bring it home and surprise him." I can see in my minds eye the whole situation unfold. "I've got a surprise for you" I can see the instantaneous shift of all his attention those words cause in all children (ok, in all people). I can see the anticipation in his eyes. I can hear the pure joy and the uncontrollable bursting of energy that would bounce his whole being around the room. I can see the gratitude and pure appreciation as he held the box in his possession and drank deep with his eyes on his dream fulfilled.
                                    But.  
                                            It wouldn't be right.

Passion to be a mighty river instead of a flash flood.

As his Father I have to help him learn how to bring things he wants into his life.

What do I want? (Include Joe Stumpf interview. I don't think I asked you what you're afraid of, I asked you what you wanted)

What do you want?

Apparently, Snowman wanted to jump

Apparent: Clearly visible or understood, obvious.

Snowman was not only at the auction, Harry bought him off the truck heading for the dogfood factory. This post is about how we see.
