22 November 2016 Blog – The Next Chapter

This past weekend I watched my son’s college football team close out their 2016 season. For each member of the team this was the end of a chapter in their lives. For some, this was the end of their football careers, while for others it was the end of the season but they have more football to play. Regardless of the situation, it is now time for each of them to write a new chapter as this one closes.

Each of our lives is the same way, we go through times in our life where one chapter ends and a new one is set to begin. The awesome thing is each one of us has the opportunity to determine how that next chapter is written. Yes, you have the pen in your hand and the paper in front of you is blank, waiting for you to write your story. So what will you write for your next chapter?

This is such an important question to ask and answer when you come to the end of a chapter in your life. The answer to this question will then determine the steps you will make in your life. If that next chapter includes a new job, then you need to take the steps to acquire that job. If that next chapter includes you being more fit and healthy, then you need to take the steps to become more fit and healthy. The steps you are willing to take will determine how your next chapter is written.

Realize you have the control over how that next chapter is written. You have the ability to write a fabulous story. But if you don’t take the steps, if you don’t take control, then that next chapter will be written for you. So pick up that pen and start writing the story you want for your life. The story that follows the blessed path God has for your life!
