so, i have an addiction to good books. in that, i love to read things that change my perspective. one of the 3 books that i'm reading right now is mark batterson's new book, wild goose chase. it truly is rocking my world, and it really came at the PERFECT time in my life! *i love it when that happens. chalk it up to God's providence. ha.
i'm only about halfway through it at this point, but that in itself is a victory for me, because i've been reading through it for about three weeks now. typically, i read through books as fast as i can which tends to be detrimental to the overall growth process. i think.
the book is centered around the idea that the holy spirit is inviting each of us on an adventure/chase of sorts. many times this chase seems ridiculous and illogical to the outside world! never have i identified with this truth more than right now. i really do feel like i am on a really wild goose chase!!!!
so, my encouragement--maybe more appropriately--my dare to you guys is to do something crazy. follow the urging of the spirit. this may be something as simple as just walking across the room (a little inside humor for you creekers), or it could be as crazy as starting a non-profit. either way, what i am quickly finding out is that with each step of faith (and fear), God reveals just a bit more of who He is...
it is an incredibly exciting journey. i would love to hear your stories! and i will make sure to share mine as well...
