I want to have a healthy marriage, so I think I'll flirt with my secretary.
I want to be financially secure, so I'm going to rack up some consumer credit buying things I can't really afford.
By this time next month I want to lose 5 pounds, so go ahead and supersize that.
I want to get into a great college on a scholarship so I think I'll party tonight instead of studying for that test tomorrow.
Recently I had the opportunity to read a really great book by pastor and leader Andy Stanley called The Principle of the Path. This book reveals a very simple principle that we all know to be true - Direction, not intentions, determines destination. Andy explains the incredible disconnect so many of us have between what we say we want to happen, and what we actually do about it.
It's a quick read and really simple to understand. As a pastor myself, this book has given me a great way to talk to people about the connection between our choices and the circumstances we find ourselves in on a day to day basis. I believe this simple principle could transform the way you and I think about the choices we all face every day.
If you are finding yourself frustrated with your present circumstances and want future decisions to lead to better results, then I would highly recommend you grab a copy of this book.
(Disclaimer: Booksneeze gave me a free copy of the book in exchange for my honest review.)

THis looks awesome. so funny that I should read this tonight. It is the very theme of my musings. So crazy how the Spirit brings things to you and then repeats them to you over and over.
Thanks for the review.
