Book Review: Put Your Dream To The Test

Put Your Dream To The Test
By: John C. Maxwell

When I saw this book come out I was excited instantly. First I was excited because it was a new book by John C. Maxwell, and second because this book was about making your dreams come to reality. One thing that I have always been is a dreamer. In the book Put Your Dream to the Test, John C. Maxwell guides you through ten thought provoking questions that will help you take your dream to another level.

Each question made me sit back and take a deeper and harder look at what my dream really was. I studied entrepreneurship throughout college and I wish I had been asked these questions when I put together my capstone business plan. I believe I would have had a much clearer plan to present. One question after another inspired me more and more to go out and pursue my dream. I found myself becoming more and more motivated to set out and accomplish my wildest dreams.

If you’re a dreamer who thinks that it’s only a dream and it will never actually happen, I recommend you get yourself a copy of Put Your Dream to the Test by John C. Maxwell. You never know, your dream could become your reality.

Book Review: Jesus Loves You

Jesus Loves You

By: Craig Gross & Jason Harper

Craig Gross and Jason Harper aren’t your typical ministry leaders. They have dived into a world that would scare most Christians, the world of pornography. Craig is the founder of XXX Church a ministry that reaches the people who live and work in the porn industry. I’m sure your thinking that is just crazy and probably a waste of time but somebody has got to do it. Craig and Jason’s mission is simple to show people that Jesus loves you.

That is the motivation behind their new book Jesus Loves You This I Know.  Don’t let this simple, almost childish title fool you, this book takes you deep into the idea of just how much Jesus loves you. Throughout the book you are taken through the lives of different people that most would say, Jesus doesn’t love them, but he does. We meet the bitter and betrayed, the disconnected, the broken, the forgotten, the skeptic, the glutton, the crook, the outcast, the porn star, and the religious. I’m sure you can find yourself relating to one of those groups, I know I did.

If you have ever wondered if Jesus loves or why would Jesus spend time loving someone, a screw up, like me. You have to take time to read through the innovative book with an old and simple message, Jesus Loves You. Your life could be very different if you only live life knowing Jesus Loves you. Go pick up a copy today.

Repost: They Don’t See

I was reading through some of my older posts and I came across this one. I forgot about it and I really like it. So I thought I would share it with you again. 

The breeze blows by riding down the path
their lonely faces appear, some are filled with fear
all trying to avoid His wrath.

I keep riding, and just look away
their eyes give a stare, they think i’m unaware
and all i know to do is pray

They don’t see His Good
They don’t see He is forever
Blind to His faithfulness
Blind to His Love
They don’t see

I stear my bike to the side
they watch me go, they are asking if it’s no
I don’t know why I duck and hide

Why don’t they understand
how can i reach them all, but how can i let them fall
Why don’t they reach for His hand

They don’t see His Good
They don’t see He is forever
Blind to His faithfulness
Blind to His Love
They don’t see

The Lord is good,
His love endures forever
His faithfulness continues
They Don’t See

They don’t see His Good
They don’t see He is forever
Blind to His faithfulness
Blind to His Love
They don’t see

They don’t see His Good
They don’t see He is forever
Blind to His faithfulness
Blind to His Love
They don’t see

I pray louder, louder, louder
Lord let them see Your Good
Lord let them see You Forever
See His Faithfulness
See His Love
Lord let them See

Psalm 100:5
For the LORD is good and his love endures forever;
his faithfulness continues through all generations.

2 Years Ago… a Broken Ankle

This weekend is the 2nd anniversary of a major turning point in my life. It was a major turning point because it was the first of a sequence of events that just really threw me for a loop. It spun me off in directions I never thought I would have gone. Two years ago this weekend I broke my ankle playing a pick up game of baseball.

I never intended on playing that day but they were short players so I said why not. The game was fun even though we were losing. Then in the eighth inning I made the mistake of trying to slide, and here is the result of that.

 
Yep, I have lots of hardware in my ankle now. If you count that’s eight screws and a plate. My ankle is surrounded by scars. I ended up breaking just about anything you can break with the ankle. I ended up giving my Mom a wonderful gift that year. 10AM Mother’s Day I went into surgery to try and fix this mess of my ankle. 
Many things happened after that from losing my job to breaking up with my girlfriend. My life was kind of like one of those sappy country songs. Luckily my dog didn’t die. Those events are actually what led me to start this blog. I hoped it would provide me an outlet to work through the rapid changes I was dealing with. These events are also how I ended up titling my blog. The title comes from the bible story of Jacob when he wrestles with God and receives the name of God Wrestler or Israel. You can read that passage in Genesis 32.
In the past two years I have definitely come through those trials I had to face. They have shaped me in ways I never expected to be. I am in a place now that I never thought I would end up, but its good. Life is good. God is good. God is sovereign.
