perspective shift

So it seems most of my thoughts come from or center around things I've been reading lately....I guess that's ok. At least they aren't based on what I've been watching on TV. :O)

That said, I'm reading this INCREDIBLE book called In A Pit With a Lion on a Snowy Day by Mark Batterson. (Thanks, Lawlor.) Not that I really have any reason to question God's timing (particularly at this junction in my life), but if I were to ever have read THE book at THE right time...this is it. I seriously want to go out and buy this book for everyone I know. (If you get a copy in the mail, I went ahead and did that, just FYI.)

The premise of this book is "how to survive and thrive when opportunity roars". Yet, it really goes WAY beyond that. I have to tell you...my mind is being cracked open a bit...maybe even blown apart a bit. I think what got me last night when I was reading was the whole concept of a perspective shift. This is something I have been dealing with for a while...just didn't really know it until I was able to get a solid definition...see it in print...wrap my brain around it...understand what God was truly trying to say to me in it. Anyway, I won't go into detail about the whole perspective shift I'm going through, but it's just a super encouraging time. And really, who doesn't need encouragement every once in a while?! :O)

So, on the off chance I don't buy copies of the book for everyone I know and love, GO GET A COPY FOR YOURSELF...
