The story behind the idea
Just in general, go ahead and take a minute today, like 20 years from now, in general, what kind of a person do you want to be? How do you want to feel about life, about time, about people, Christ, the gospel, and eternity?
What stands out
What are the incremental things that you are implementing today that you will continue to implement faithfully, believing in the long term? I made a note today: anything in my life right now that's really worth doing, that is building towards something, that's paying dividends, that's driving my purpose, is absolutely never worth stopping. Morning Bible study, daily journaling, being honest and sharing with your spouse, pursuing spiritual growth.
Why it matters
Could you make a list like that of all of the things you do on a daily basis, of all of the things that you prioritize in a weekly cadence? What are the things that are so valuable in the longer term and in the way that they're shaping you and the people that you love that you simply cannot afford to stop them? Just to help you process what those might be, they need to be tough.
A faithful way forward
Certainly, if you find it beneficial and you would like to have it in book form, you can go to Amazon, type in my name and journal, and it'll be right there. I don't know if it's still on sale, but it was like crazy on sale last week via Amazon.
Put it into practice
Who you are to God, who God is to you, what is good in your life, what are things that you know to be true that are healthy and strong.
Take the idea with you.
