Live courageously from your heart!
If you are new to blogging or have been blogging for sometime now we all think we write good posts, don’t we?
There are so many sites that claim to offer the framework of a good blog post, but do they have a proven track record?

![#006: New Years Challenge: Are You Living A Life On Purpose Everywhere You Go? [Podcast]](https://heartstonejourney.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/hsj_life_on_purpse.jpg)
I had the honor of being a guest on Purposeful Pathways Radio with Caroline Gavin; Christian business coach, speaker, author and radio host. Join our conversation as we walk through places in my book Heartstone: A Journey Out of the Midnight of My Soul and some things I learned from life’s struggles.
Join me as I share my journey in Jesus…and how to live courageously from the heart!
For those of you who have been walking the journey out with me over the years here on Heartstone know that life is not always fair, its tough and through it as all we share many of the same stories. These events in our lives shape us along the way and how we choose to interpret these events makes all the difference in the world.
One of these events for me was divorce. It was tough…very tough, but I’ve learned so much about myself that I would not have learned unless I walked through this dark chapter in my life. I could have let it destroy me, but God put the right people in my path to help me walk it out and to see life through a different lens. I am learning to walk it out as my authentic self, to being the real deal, choosing to live life fully alive through it all.
God definitely got my attention, but breaking free of the expectations of this performance-oriented view of the world would take some time. Here is a snippet from Heartstone that described my condition.
I discovered in the wilderness that the Samaritan woman at the well symbolizes all of us who have used their best efforts to satisfy the yearning for love and completion. She had five failed marriages (I had two), lived in guilt and shame and intentionally avoided everyone because of the rejection she was carrying. Seemingly out of nowhere, Jesus walks onto the scene and asks her for a drink and she debates Him. This sound so familiar, doesn’t it?
Psalm 91 is right up there with Psalm 23 in popularity and most read. This Psalm exposes life for what it is and who God really is. People say use this Psalm in their daily prayers, for protection, comfort, etc. Professional athletes, such as Ray Lewis of the Baltimore Ravens, displayed this verse on prime time NFL games. Although there is debate if this was sincerity or publicity, nonetheless, millions of viewers saw it and perhaps looked it up.
Many of these commitments are found near the end but I wanted to highlight a couple things before we get into them.
