Lion Chasing

In a pit with a lion on a snowy day.  Lately I have been reading a boy by this title by Mark Batterson.  Wow! what a challenge it has been to me.  It tells the story of a man who encountered a lion in a snow storm and instead of running from the lion he pursued it.  He chased it into a pit and then killed it.  The point of the book is not hunting or doing stupid things.  It is about pursuing that thing in life that seem too big, too scary or just too far outside of the ordinary.  When we pursue those things in life that God has put in front of us, the doors open to us.  In this story the man ends up being the bodyguard to a great king.  The same things happens to those of us that are willing to go after God's big plans.  The Bible tells us that the person who is willing to start with the smaller things will be trusted with the large things later on.  Lets start where we are and grow from there.  Pursue that lion in your life.  the thing that seems to big, or too hard or just too scary.  Go after it with confidence....man this is starting to sound like a motivational speaker... anyway really go for it.  see what happens. you might get hurt, you might win, you will be changed by it.  

I am having to get outside of my comfort zone and push forward.  To try the big things and see what happens.  Please pray for me and I will pray for you.  

God bless you
