carving

hmmmmm carving. carve a turkey. carve wood. carve out a pumpkin. carve out a new role. carve out our own place.

it got me thinking. while none of the subjects remain the same thing is still required for the carving to actually happen. and to be done well.

you need the right tools. dull blades, knives the wrong size or shape, insufficient information or lacking support all significantly impact the final product.

currently we are carving out a new role for me at work. and this week was spent gathering new tools- good tools at that. communication tools. web tools. meeting new contacts and people. training in current procedures. all very important things for me to do and to carve out my new role.

and i am thankful that God always equips for every good work. thankful that my organization values me and invests in me. thankful for all the great tools i received this week that will help me in the future.

so i carved a pumpkin last week. it was lots of fun. unfortunately it didn't make it to this week. it rotted to the core in less than 5 days. and it was perfect. so its killing me that i can't post of a picture of it this week. but this is where i got it from.
