Having Fun With Destiny

I write a lot about destiny because I think it's awesome. Just think about getting paid to do the thing that gives you joy. That's just wonderful. My church has been renamed Destiny Center. I get happy every time I think about it. I know that my destiny is to be a writer for God. Every day I get closer and closer to the real meat of what that means.

It occurred to me today that you can tell when you're on the right track when anything that you do that is peripheral to your own destiny gives you peace. I write, so I do a lot of reading and research to polish my tools. I follow publishing, editorial, and marketing blogs. That may sound like snoozer material for some, but not me. Today I was in the middle of a long marketing article that gave me a great idea for my website and I got the most incredible peace while I was reading. I had to sit back and contemplate what was going on, it was that significant. Don't get me wrong, you'll find plenty of headaches to deal with doing what you're supposed to do. There will always be obstacles to over come, but that's life. Once you've landed a few hurdles, you'll feel pretty good about dealing with what you need to do. Especially if you remember that there may be more than one way to get the thing done.

I kind of think that everyone has something inside wanting to get out and play. Pay attention. Listen to that tiny voice and think about how fun that would be. Then start talking to God about it and see what happens. It's going to be the best thing ever.
