Tend Your Garden: 90 Days to a Life of Purpose, Tanaka Lance, Feltner Wes

We all want to be happy--to have a fulfilling, purpose-driven, God inspired career; to have healthy, happy, loving relationships; to be financially secure, etc. But happiness can elude us. We often dont see our purpose. We may lack a direction. We may know our dream but feel its too far away to achieve. Many of us dont know how to take the first steps. We are waiting for that voice, that sign from on high. Waiting can lead to drifting, and drifting leads to a life lived without purpose.

The truth is that most of us will never hear a booming voice in the sky. Well never get that clear sign that says, Do this. Now But what if thats not a bad thing? What if God doesnt speak from the sky because he has already given you the answer?
We believe it is a question of knowing how to listen. If we listen to our own being, we find there is another way that the Lord speaks directly to each and every one of us: through our gifting.

Thats right. Your natural gifts and abilities are the mark of God in you, nudging you toward the life path that will give you the greatest fulfillment, purpose, and, yes, happiness.
