Pushy People

Pushy People! The first thing you think of is probably the first thing I think of. We don't like them. They tend to be too aggressive and too demanding. They think they know everything.

But it's not that kind of a pushy person I am talking about today. What about the "pushy people" in your life that refuse to allow you to settle for average. That commit themselves to pouring into your life and making a difference. I guess what I am saying is, we all need some "pushy people" to help us be all that we are destined to be.

I have many friends and colleagues that fit the above description. There is a pushy person in my life who stays on me about this blog. I am thankful for him. There is a pushy person in my life that calls me and always ask me "what are you reading right now?" He keeps me on my toes. There is a pushy person in my life that helps me stay in God's Word. He often ask me who or what am I studying from the Bible. Then there is that pushy wife of mine. She refuses to let me be average and I am so glad.

And of course, I can't forget the power and presence of God in my life. He pushes me to grow and become more like His Son. That is my life goal.

Each person has a special place in my life and they are constantly pushing me to achieve and reach for bigger and better. Sometimes the pushing hurts. Sometimes I don't want to hear it. Usually because I need a little pushing but I hate to admit it.

To all my pushy friends "thanks" and no matter what, keep pushing me. I need it.
