I have been reading a lot of John Eldredge lately. If you've never heard of him or haven't read any of his stuff, I would encourage you to check him out. Some of his books are, Wild at Heart, The Sacred Romance, and Fathered by God.

I am currently reading Fathered by God. One quote from it is, God is a God of process. We get to wanting everything instantly nowdays. As he says in his book, we even have to have somebody make our coffee for us and we want it NOW.

In other words, everyones life is a story. We need to live our lives as a story not as some formula. Life has a way of not going exactly the way we would like it to go. We need to believe that we have a Father that will guide is the the Way.
