Notes from handwritten journal--Andy Stanley

Starting Over by Andy Stanley

Knowing better does not always equal doing better.

Own your mistakes/bad choices.

Don't get wrapped up in your "story" that you forget your part in it.

Blame enables us to smuggle our issues into our own futures.

Ask yourself, "What was my part?"

Blame sets you up for repeat performance.

Owning = clarity

Mathew 5:8

purity ←→clarity

Make peace with your past.

Next time can be better not because you want it to be but because you plan for it to be.

From handwritten journal August 8, 2017

Lord, I am thankful for so much! Thank you that Darrell will be okay. I ask that You, almighty God continue to protect and bless him.  Get him off the streets Lord. Move mountains and get it rolliing like only you can. Thank you for timely scriptures and devotionals. Thank you for the freedom of rejection. I ask that my heart not be bitter with disappointment but full of joy in knowing You plan has yet to be revealed. Thank you for the opportunity to plan new fields for You. I will faithfully go where You send me. Keep my focus on You!
