— Enliven The World

What if I just wrote honestly and not to please my audience? What would I write?  What if I could live my life how I always dreamed of, what would that look like?

What if I actually learned to like people? AND all their issues and problems? AND  stopped dealing with them as problems themselves?  Stopped seeing them as a burden or a curious idea? Would I be able to help them more?

What if I expected less than I got and therefore was happy all the time?

What if I started reading the Bible less for its problem solving help, and more for the miraculous story it tells? Less for what it can do for me to benefit my life, and more for what it can teach me about God…?

What if I truly saw my life as a story, or a movie, and embraced every moment as a scene, where each line was dialogue, and crucial to moving the story forward? What if I really saw myself as important? What if by being important I could help others and make them feel important?

I don’t know what would change but I think it would be something.  And it would be profound.

For years I struggled with the question of a calling.

I wondered “What am I doing with my life?” and “What is it all supposed to mean?” Sound familiar at all?

To a Christian Business Owner it’s even more puzzling.  You are supposed to have it all figured out, but it’s never that simple.  You still have questions and too often you have precious few answers.  It’s further complicated by the disconnect between the Church and “The World”, and there you are trying to bridge that gap.  How can you make both happy?  How can you be an amazing Christian, live out your faith, and yet still be successful enough to provide for your family?  It’s hard to find answers on your own.

If you are a man, who either owns his own business or wants to, and you are a Christian, then this might be the place for you.

Treat this like a repository of ideas and we can talk about what they mean.  Check out the other posts, comment if you want to add something, and I’m sure you will find something useful.
