I think that I already knew many of the concepts that Donald Miller discussed in his book A Million Miles in a Thousand Years. However, I still got a lot out of the book. I feel refreshed and ready to apply what I learned/reviewed to my own life. Maybe about once a week or so, I experience extreme homesickness; so whenever that happens, I will just think about how there is a purpose to what I am going through and will look with hope and gladness to being in heaven, where things will be perfect. Another thing that God laid on my heart as I read the book, was to find some sort of ministry to be involved in while I am in Siloam Springs. With the way that my schedule is laid out this semester, I do not believe that I can be involved in something that requires a lot of time. With that in mind, I plan to contact my church and see if there are any middle schoolers that I could minister to by encouraging them through email. Next semester, I will try to schedule everything so that I have time to minister to others, perhaps through a CAUSE ministry. In addition, I will try to get others on board with living an epic life. I will do this by informing my family and friends about what God is doing in my life and teaching me. In this way, they themselves will be encouraged to act and to live a life of purpose, rather than a meaningless one. With God’s help, I will strive to apply what I learned to my own life—both now, and in the future.
1. What is your perspective on pain and how it contributes to the journey of life?
2. What is the best way to confront someone who is not living a “good story”?
