God360 Stories
Perspective
I can't even begin to tell you the amazing timing of getting this book into my hands.
In my work as a police officer I come across some 'gut wrenching' incidents from time to time and after the second in two weeks I had lost where God was and where I was too. Too many questions, too much pain, and too little sleep. Then this book came.
I read the prologue, the bit about 'impact' and remembered why I do my job. Then I did the sending 'truth-telling' messages, which not only was good for my friends, but made me realise again that its not all about 'me'!
The book has challenged me to get my life in context and refine my perspective within relationship with a God who's bigger than it all. No easy answers, no quick fixes, but the knowledge of a God who is there and cares in an intervening not far off way, and the ability to sleep in the peace of that knowledge.
All this and I've only just started the book!
aghghghgh!
Just been given God 360 as a gift and am completely terrified!
But never one to turn down a challenge, I'm going to give it a go.
I been aware that my devotional time hadn't been that hot, but hadn't been able to figure out why.
I now know that it was because I was pretty near to asleep and doin naff all to really engage with what God was saying to me, in fact I think I'd stoped expecting him to say anything.
1 down, 119 to go, my friends have already begun to think I've lost the plot, and I've begun to see God's part in my daily life again.
First steps...
OK. I'm excited and scared. I knew this would be an amazing concept when Flan first mentioned it to me, whilst driving in Luton about three years ago.
I thought then - I'm going to end up being changed by these ideas. I've managed to avoid it so far, but last week we decided that we should try and have a together with God time that we can commit to. When I saw the book at Soul survivor I knew I had to buy it (?2 off marked price was the clincher!).
So my wife and I have just read through the intro and are set to work our way through some of the challenges.
I look forward (I think) to sharing some of the life changes we are about to experience.
