I WILL quit living as if the purpose of life is to arrive safely at death
I WILL quit focusing on self-preservation and be willing to take risks
I WILL quit trying to be who I'm not and start being myself
I WILL quit holding out or holding back
I WILL quit running away
I WILL burn sinful bridges and blaze new trails
I WILL NOT let what's wrong with me keep me from worshiping what's right with God
I WILL go after the dream He's given me that's "God-sized" enough to fail without Him
I WILL stop complaining and find creative ways to become part of the solution
I WILL step out of my comfort zone and value every experience - even the difficult ones.
I WILL worry less about what people think and more about what God thinks
I WILL follow Him wherever He leads me

Desiree,
I, for one, will be working on following "The Lion Chaser's Manifesto". One or two of these may possibly come easy, while others will be very difficult, but through it all, I know that He will lead me & I will follow Him.
Luv Ya!
Mom
Desi,
This is a great book. I enjoyed it so much I passed it on to my small group team who are all taking turns reading it now. It is a very uplifting, inspirational book. Sis : )
Thanks for your comments! Yes, some of the things on this list seem easier than others. It all has to do with letting God lead.
I have not had a chance to read the book. I actually got this from an issue of the In Touch magazine. Looks like it would be a great book, though.
