Day 3 What drives your life?
The things I loved hearing today when reading this chapter were that "God's purpose is not limited by your past" and "Hope comes from having a purpose". I find comfort in Jeremiah 29:11.
What do you want to be the driving force in your life?
When I hear "our purpose is not limited by our past..." makes me think about what he's got in store for me next. Brandon Heath song says "Oh, He's up to something, 'cause He's not finished with me yet."
Day 3 was Awesome!!! Page 28 - let go of resentment - past pains can not continue to hurt you unless YOU hold on to the pain. pg 29 - real security can only be found in what can never be taken from you - your relationship with God. pg 31 - you need hope to cope, and hope comes from having a purpose. pg 33 - you weren't put on earth to be remembered, but to prepare for eternity!!

P. 31. So true!! John Maxwell, leadership speaker and former pastor says "when there is no hope in the future ther eis no power in the present."
