It All Starts with Your Dream e-bog

I had the idea of writing this book in 2010. I was training for my first long-distance run, which was the Disney World Half Marathon. The race was in January 2011, and on one of my training runs in December of 2010, I was praying, and God spoke to me about writing a book. My first reaction was who would want to read something that I wrote and what would I write about? Eventually I left that thought far in the distance and continued with my life. Six years later, I picked that thought up again and began to write about my life experiences. I had met numerous people who were just existing and were not truly living because they were working at a job that wasn't fulfilling their God-given desires. Everyone has a purpose, and everyone's life has a purpose. We just need to find out what that purpose is and then pursue it with everything we have. Part of what I discovered along the way was many of these people had a desire burning inside of them when they were little children. There was something that they enjoyed doing and could do better than anyone else. It may have been painting or writing poetry or some other skillset that God had gifted to them. Along the journey of their own life, someone discouraged them and told them that what they were pursuing was a waste of time and they wouldn't amount to anything if they went that direction. Others were steered off their course by life circumstances. They may have found a job where they found worldly success and brought them all the trappings, such as the nice house, car, vacations, etc., but they hated the thought of going to work because the work itself didn't bring them joy. This book was borne out of those stories and others that will hopefully serve as encouragement to those who find themselves in that spot.
