on problem-solving...

We've all got problems...what about solutions?

"It is easy to let ourselves get wrapped up in the problem, rather than focusing on the solution.  I've watched some people obsess with their problem so much, it's almost as if talking about it soothes them.  I suspect that's because problems are concrete; we can identify them easily and that provides the illusion of control.  The solution, on the other hand, is multi-faceted. 
It requires honesty, creativity, determination, patience and focus." - Eric Harr

If God has allowed us to go through trials, that probably means that He believes we have the power to find the solutions.  Let's spend today looking for the answers instead of focusing on the questions in our lives.  Happy Hunting! :)
