An Undertaking of Enormous Proportions

Let me just give a disclaimer first. I am not a writer. I do not like writing. I have never had a passion for writing like my dad and brother. I never liked those English classes. I am not a writer.

God has a huge sense of humor.

I am writing a book. Me, myself, and I. Without someone holding a gun to my head.

This is something I’ve felt like I was supposed to do for awhile now. Last night I finally decided to go ahead and do it. After I had outlined it, and read it a trillion billion million times I looked at the paper, took a deep breath and said “I can’t do this yes I can.” Last night the message was about reaching your full potential when you finally realize that you can do nothing, but Christ can do anything through you. Oooh boy. If this book is finished in the next fifty years it will be because of Christ, and Christ alone.

I am not going to announce the title of my book because I know I will take my sweet time on this, and I don’t want to walk into a bookstore someday and see a book with the same title.

Here I go, loaded down with God’s grace. I lay myself on the alter. I am weak, I am nothing. I am not capable. But God is.

“In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.

Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.

For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,

That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;

That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,

May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;

And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fullness of God.

Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,

Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.” ~ Ephesians 3:12-20
