Living Your Desired Life

My Choices Were Limited.

I grew up in rural East Texas.

Our region is called “The Big Thicket”.

It is even more bio diverse than the Amazon Basin.

The East Fork of The San Jacinto River crossed our property.

There only seemed to be a few choices for work: be a logger,

work as a driller in the oilfield, do carpentry, or be in oilfield

construction.

The old ways were passing quickly.

Gus “Paw Paw” Burton was a cattle rancher.

Frederick “Papa Blum”, my maternal grandfather, trapped fur.

Nothing in me wanted to do any of that sort of work.

Even when I was young I remember standing on the river bridge.

As I looked at the waters flowing below I dreamed of a life in

writing or ministry. The flow seemed to speak to me there are

more options than we routinely see around us.

If this describes you, find your own river.

Deliberately ponder the plan of God for your life.

Stand quietly and look at the flow as you think big thoughts.

Consider the general principles in this book as you think of

Living Your Desired Life.

This book contains 31 general principles, things you can do and

ways to think, that you can employ to generate the kind of life

you desire to live.

Having God’s best is completely possible.

It requires a dream…and enough faith to act on your dream.

I look forward to hearing your success story.
