The Japanese have always loved fresh fish but the waters around Japan are not known for holding many fish for decades.

So, here's the big problem: to feed the Japanese population, the fishermen had to go to the far and deep sides of the waters to get many fish and thus also big boats to store as many as possible for days on the deep waters.

However, the farther the fishermen went, the longer it took to bring back home the fish- such that the fish were no longer fresh and the Japanese did not like the taste.

To solve this problem, fishermen installed freezers on their boats to freeze the fish at the sea immediately- this allowed the boats to go farther and stay longer. However, the Japanese could taste the difference between fresh and frozen, and didn't like it.

So the fishermen again installed fish tanks to stuff the fish in immediately while still giving them a sense of their natural habitat. After a little thrashing around, the fish would stop moving, tired and dull, but alive. Unfortunately, the Japanese could still taste the difference as not moving for day made them lose their fresh-fish taste.

So how did the Japanese fishermen get fresh-tasting fish to Japan? To achieve this, they still put the fish in the tanks but now they add a small shark to each tank. The shark eats a few fish, but most of the fish arrive in a very lively state because they were challenged to move (for safety).

Have you realized that some of us are also living in a pond of our comfort zones but most of the time tired and dull, so we need a Shark in our life to keep us awake and moving?

So, God put a shark of dream/goal/desire in our minds which challenges our feeling and thinking as we pursue it. Remember, if it doesn't challenge you, it doesn't change you! This is because God is more interested in who you become than what you want to get. Your present challenges are not designed to break you; they are designed to make you!

So, face those challenges head on with new strength. You are unstoppable!

Story Time

  Lisungu Chieza from Zimbabwe was 26 when she was told in 1996 that she was HIV+. "This started my long journey of coping with being HIV+. My husband died in my arms at home eight months later." Not only did Lisungu have to cope with her own illness and losing her husband, but her husband's family also wrongly blamed her for his death. They came to her house, took away his things, and said, "If those children of yours get sick, don't even call us. We won't have anything to do with them or you." They would not even let her go to her husband's burial. "I gave up a college course I had planned to do. All I thought about was death. I neglected my children and myself." But her mother supported her. Lisungu began to find hope again and joined an HIV support group. Then she started to help others who were also HIV+, and took a college course about HIV-AIDS. She spoke at HIV meetings with the young people in her church. She believes that it is ver...
