I began the process of working on my next book yesterday by putting together a first draft for the introduction and first chapter. I also mapped out the video elements that will be added to those sections. As I was also working on preparations for Sunday’s sermon and service, I felt good about the progress that was made.
While I was working on this project I realized I had the material for another book already in place and just need to plug it into the schedule once the current one is finished. I still have a couple more videos to be completed for insertion in the book I am working on. I really appreciate the training I have received from my mentor, Joel Bauer, who counsels to use your preparation of your puzzle pieces in a way that makes your book easy to bring into reality.
Have you ever considered the importance of the concept, “Who do you listen to?” You are being bombarded every day by thoughts, words and intentions from a variety of sources. The news you watch, the movies you view, the music you listen to, the radio you stations you preset on our system, where you go and give attention to on the internet and so much more play a role in defining who you are becoming. The sources you chose to allow into your life will have an energetic influence on your life?
This is true also with regards to others you associate with in terms of your “spiritual tribe” in your journey of grace. Are you being challenged to grow in grace and the knowledge of God’s Word, or are you settling for an “emotional fix,” which produces a warm fuzzy feeling? Are you being equipped to live a victorious life, or fed a great motivational pep talk? Who you listen to is an important concept to figure out. What we put into our life is what we will get out of our life. Who you listen to determines the outcomes in your life!
