A Million Miles in a Thousand Years
By Donald Miller
This week's book is a good book to start the year. It tells the story of a man who had written a book and how a few people wanted to make the novel into a movie. The problem was that the original book wasn't exactly exciting enough to make an interesting film. The author had a problem with the filmmakers saying his novel wasn't exciting because the novel was semi-autobiographical. The book was called Blue Like Jazz and was eventually made into the film. But this week's book isn't Blue Like Jazz, it's the book the author wrote while trying to “write a new story” for his life.
I'm in a Mom to mom group which happens to be held at our church. Our associate minister's wife kept bringing up a book that absolutely changed her life and always suggests it to people if they are looking for a new book to read. So of course after hearing her suggest a book a couple of times, I grabbed a copy on eBay lickety split. The whole book is about writing your own story. If you don't like the way your life is going, change the path it's on. It sounds so simple, but it's true; no one else can make choices in your life but you. No one else can make you stop eating rubbish. No one else can get you off that couch and stop streaming whatever Netflix show you love. Why not start 2019 on the right foot and make those changes you have been complaining about for all of 2018.
So many new year's resolutions going around but maybe, just maybe 2019 will be our year?
