God's Non-Fiction Shelf

I had a great workout last night. I enjoy going to the gym. It's amazing how much better you feel when you excercise. I'm trying to get back into my routine. I was a workout machine there for a while...haha.

Back at work on this wonderful Tuesday. I just got off the phone with one of my best friends from college. I am blessed to have such great friends and family.

As I continued to read Chazown last night you really start to realize that finding your Chazown or the vision God has for your life is not the easiest task. I never once thought it would be easy...partly the reason why it's taken me so long to open this book. It's challenging to think about your core values, spritual gifts, and past experiences (both good and bad). But according to Craig, once you pin those down you will begin to see the relation between the three thus reveavling God's vision for you. Of course this doesn't happen over night... I believe that it involves prayer and patience as well. It's a little frustrating to think that the dream you've been following might not be the purpose God intended you to accomplish. It's also empowering, because once we begin to live out God's purpose according to His plan. We are unstoppable!

It's definitely a battle though. Like I said in a previous entry... Writing a new chapter doesn't happen over night. Sure you can sit down and write a chapter in a fiction book in one setting... but that's the point! This story of our lives is not a fiction novel. It's on God's Non-Fiction shelf! You can only write one page each day... I think it's kind of funny that I have all these references to chapters, stories, and books. I don't really enjoy reading...haha. But I think it makes sense if you think about it all this way. It helps me and I hope that it helps someone out there too.
