contentment or overwhelmed?

i read this book recently entitled "Jumping through fires" by David Nassar....he had a quote in there that made me stop and think...it was even worth writing down...so i decided to share it...in the quote he is talking about a popular secular book where a woman marries the good man but lives a life of regret because she was afraid to risk it all for the man she really loved..."she had been taught the safest best is the best one. the character lives a life full of regret because she settled for a good man instead of the right man. People read this book because they could relate to someone who gave up on their passions and dreams, because it was just easier to do what looked safe...it is all throughout the Bible...from Jesus asking a fisherman to drop his nets to him putting the same choice before Paul, it's in the story of the rich young ruler and the incredible saga of a teenage girl named Mary who didn't want to play it safe....When it comes to living out the rest of your life, are you looking for contentment, or are you looking to be overwhelmed? Whoever you end up with, or whatever you end up doing with your life, just make sure it makes your heart beat fast...God's plans are not always the safest"... this is what my journey here has been about...and it is not over yet
