Life Metaphor

As I am reading through The Purpose Driven Life again, the question was asked... "What is your life metaphor?" He theorizes that this will shape your expectations and values significantly. For example, if you picture life as a marathon, endurance will be an emphasis. If you see life as a party, having fun will be highly valued. 

After some brief thought, I realized that I view life as an adventure. More specifically, an adventure through a picture-book of promises. There is always something new to discover. So much in this life is valuable and we just don't take the time to look for it, or at it. It seems so much easier to analyze the the obstacles that we face, yet there is so much rest in admiring even the simple blessings that already exist in our lives. In addition, there is tremendous joy in the expectation of blessings yet to be discovered.

Why blog??

I must admit, this was not my idea. Kerrie has been thinking about this for quite some time, and I think it will be good to be a part of it. Having a place to share my thoughts and the ability to reflect on the thoughts of others would be a great source for edification and encouragement. 

I hope to post weekly and summarize what God has been impressing upon my heart that week. There seems to have been so many lessons...this past year especially. 

This should be fun!
