I'm sure ya'll have heard me talking about the anointed book (Radical) that rocked my world (it actually ATE my world for two days while I was reading it- SOBBING in the Spirit) - well guess what? Today God POURED OUT HIS BLESSINGS on me.... I am SO HUMBLED and in AWE of our AMAZING GOD!!!... because today He gave me MORE of that GOODNESS- He gave me the opportunity to see David Platt (the author of that book) speak LIVE about Elijah!! WHAT?!!
Here's the 6 takeaways from tonight's talk (taste each word):
1. Elijah's identity was shaped in the solitude of God's presence.
2. His will was completely abandoned to the word of God.
3. He took great risks for God's great glory.
4. His spiritual battles were great, but God's grace was greater.
5. He leaves a legacy for God's glory among people he will never meet in this life.
6. Elijah knew this world was not his home.
God LOVES ME SO!!!! I just want to POUR MYSELF OUT TO HIM in THANKSGIVING!!!! (But there is no where near enough of me to come close to thanking Him for what He did for me- yesterday, today, and for all eternity- His GRACE is indescribable and incomprehensible!)
BTW: Best book EVER --> www.radicalthebook.com

Hmmmm... I kinda feel bad saying "best book EVER"... because frankly, it's a lie. The BIBLE is the best book EVER... but that's more like LIFE - BLOOD - BREATH - GOD - not a book. Welllll- ALSO a book! :)
I also happen to really love to bask in A.W. Tozer books. Oh BOOKS make me SOOOO HAPPY!! What has happened to me? How did I become such a nerd??? :) :) Let's see.... for the fun of it- here's my list of all time fav books (today):
- Pursuit of God (A.W. Tozer)
- Forgotten God (Francis Chan)
- Radical (David Platt)
- Hole in the Gospel (Richard Stearns)
- The Cost of Discipleship (Dietrich Bonhoeffer)
- Knowing God (J.I. Packer)
- Miscellaneous Tozer books (On Worship and Entertainment, The Counselor, Knowledge of the Holy)
- Too Busy Not to Pray (Bill Hybels)
