Eat Pray Love

"If you're brave enough to leave behind everything familiar and comforting, which can be anything from your house to bitter, old resentments, and set out on a truth-seeking journey, either externally or internally, and if you are truly willing to regard everything that happens to you on that journey as a clue and if you accept everyone you meet along the way as a teacher and if you are prepared, most of all, to face and forgive some very difficult realities about yourself, then the truth will not be withheld from you. "

I watched Eat Pray Love today and was quite inspired.  I find this quote to be a challenge.  It is to me the same as what God asks of us when he says to go and do.  He asks that I give up all of my earthly comforts to seek the truth.  Everything that happens, every day, every second, every experience is a moment from God that prepares me for His eternal plans for me.  Every person He puts in my path is there to teach me something from Him.  If I can absorb all that God has for me on a given day then His truth will not be withheld from me.  His truth shall set me free.

~A challenge to see and do life differently~

Front Cover  Doing Life Differently: The Art of Living with Imagination by Luci Swindol 

Not a book I would typically choose for myself but I have found it to be inspiring.  The right-brained perspective challenges me to experience life from a different perspective.  Being more left-brained I fail to recognize the arts as inspiration to life and my Christian walk.  God is so good.  He challenges me to experience Him from every angle and I love every minute of it.
