During my “quiet time” this afternoon I picked up Mark Batterson’s book “In A Pit With A Lion On A Snowy Day”, not realizing how quickly I would be sucked in. It’s not a novel or action packed fictional piece – that’s not to say it is a book lacking in adventure. In about an hour I plowed my way through the first half of the book (I could have easily kept reading, but was interrupted by a few hungry little people).
To keep this short and sweet – I have been sensing that God wants to do something new in my life, but whether it be fear of the unknown or that my attention has been divided, I haven’t understood what it is He has been whispering in my spirit. This book is challenging my perception of God, my perception of self and my perception of going through difficult times. Powerful and insightful. God is taking me on a journey right now, and I’m not quite sure what the destination is going to be. All I can say is this, I’d much rather be one who chases lions than one who is constantly running from them!

Could I borrow it?
I also feel like you… sensing the same thing, but wanting someone to spell it out for me… but God saying, "I am spelling it out for You. Don't rush me!"
