if ya'll haven't read this book, you should. the guy who wrote it seems like a brainiac...i didn't understand half of the "smart person" stuff he wrote about...but, bottom line, he's so right on about so many things. read the book and i guarantee you'll be ready to go look for your lion and kick its booty!!!
my lion has been after me for about two years...and as a normal, right-minded person, i've been laying low just waiting for it to get tired of chasing me...alas, it has unending amounts of energy. but after reading this book, i didn't want it to stop chasing me...i was ready...dare i say excited...to chase my lion, for a change, and tie a knot in its tail!!!
for the first time in two years, i don't feel like asking God for a baby. i feel like asking God to give me new perspective and strength to face this lion. i feel like asking God to use me, to provide opportunities to use my pain for another's benefit. i want to face this lion named "infertility" and defeat it, obliterate it...i want the "W". so, i've decided...
to lock eyes with this lion...the jealousy and discontent...and put it in its place...
to be happy NOW...
to reframe my perspective...to explain my circumstances to myself in a different way...
to persevere...and dream bigger and different things..."God" things...
to truly worship...forgetting what's wrong with me and remembering what's right with God...
this reads like a book report, huh??? remember reading rainbow? the part of the show where the kids talk about books they've read...and they end by saying, "...but don't take my word for it." anyway, read it...it's by mark batterson...
