I had a late Christmas present about two weeks ago from a very dear and much missed friend and part of it was a book by a Christian author Donald Miller called 'A Millions Miles In A Thousand Years'. In brief Miller speaks about how he realised he was living a boring life and was only writing stories and not living them. The book (haven't finished it yet so can only go so far!) then goes into some of his efforts to live 'great stories'. I think this is a challenge for all of us because God put us all on this earth to achieve something. He put us here to tell the story of a beautiful relationship with Him, with us realising our sin and humbling ourselves before Him and God being faithful through it all and forgiving us, ultimately seeing us rejoice with Him. God also has wonderful plans for us in our relationships, our career and in our dreams. He isn't a party pooper, He wants us to live out the great story He has written for us. What great stories do you think you are waiting to write?
JEREMIAH 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
