The great thing about having a holiday is getting the time to read. I managed one novel, the new one by Lee Child, Gone Tomorrow; then Tribes by Seth Godin, well worth a read and something I’ll review later.
Finally I started Erwin McManus’, Wide Awake.
I’ll review this later, I haven’t finished it yet. But for a Friday afternoon I thought the least I could do is drop you a few lines worth reading and remembering.
Once you are called out by God, you are called to move into mysterious, uncertain territories and to begin to live a life filled with risk and fraught with challenges. (page 46)
When you are loved, you no longer fear change nor are you afraid to change. When you love you are willing to embrace the sacrifice of change and make the sacrifices to change. When you live a life of love, you are not bound to who you are but who you will become. Love transforms. It leaves nothing it touches as it was before its caress. The only thing you need to change is love. (page 87)
Sometimes God does so much in our lives that when he wants to work in a new way we resist, ironically, because we have become so attached to all he has brought to us. What can happen is that the things God has blessed us with become an anchor that keeps us grounded ashore rather than launching us out into his dream for us. (page 110)
Have a great weekend. I’m off on a narrow boat. Should be interesting.
I read the book and enjoyed the book enjoy your holiday my friend. The ASHES are comming, it should be a great series!!!
