Dr. Kent Ingle 's Divine Design

The author’s purpose for the first two chapters is to connect with people, and help them understand where he comes from. This causes wonder in the minds of the readers, which helps the readers to stay interested in the book through the first two chapters. The author states in the story, “He

The idea behind Max Lucado’s Cure for the Common Life is that all people have what he calls a “sweet spot.” The sweet sport, as he defines it, is an individuals unique service for God that they were created to fulfill. Using life stories and everyday parables, Lucado offers practical, concrete ways for readers to examine their talents and passions to discover the direction God intends for their lives. Along the way, Lucado also offers gentle, welcome advice, such as remembering to rest and recharge to keep your sweet spot hitting true. Life in our sweet spot should roll like the downhill side of a downwind bike ride. Simply put, life just flows. You magnify your creator with your strengths, and suddenly your days will grow sweet.

The book is divided into seven parts. The book focuses spiritual growth and it is a manual for building a Spirit-filled life in a world where perfection can only be found in God’s loving vision. Ortberg helps us gauge your spiritual health and measure the gap between where you are now and where God intends you to be. As the author emphasizes on

After learning about the ways that a Creator thinks and approaches tasks I think that I can apply certain aspects of this mindset in my own life. One important place I can apply this is in regards to the way I approach my assignments from school or work. A Creator always finds solutions to problems that they may

This will to meaning is the culmination of our developmental process. To cultivate an individual’s capacity to find meaning in their life is the greatest goal, and the source of mankind’s anxiety and neuroses. We all wish to find the meaning within our life, and are unfulfilled when we miss the mark. But according to Frankl, there is always meaning in life, in every single moment, from one to the next we all are capable of making a choice about ourselves, and beyond that, have a responsibility to do so. Even with the transitory nature of our existence and hopelessness in the face of certain death, there is still meaning to be found, there is still freedom to be earned.

Accept the place the divine providence has found for you, the society of your contemporaries, the connection of events.” (Self-reliance).

To be a creator in life my mindset is focus on making sure I’m on time and organized for my day. Every morning when I wake up I remind myself about staying focus on my goals and playing the creator role to be successful in life. First, I make sure I wake up an hour and thirty minutes early before class to get myself organized before I leave the house. Afterwards, I take a normally routine shower to support my hygiene so I don’t be stinking in public I always try to sell myself the best I can. Then during the extra thirty minutes before class I drive to a local food restaurant for breakfast to make sure I have the right nutrition in my system before class so I don’t be moody just ready to learn. My attentions in my English 111 class are to pass the class with an A

I stumbled through the first thirty-eight years of life attempting to mask the hurts caused by myself and others. I was my own worst critic fueled by raging addictions and chaos; searching to find a perfection that could never be achieved. Life was a hurricane of madness and at the center of that storm was the Father waiting for me to give Him my whole heart. The purpose of this paper is to show through those who have been studied, the textbooks that have been read and my own opinions; the counseling methods and

Change is a tempting force where humans can connect it to promote the spiritual evolution of the race. Earthseed believes that humans hold this capability to create something valuable and productive when adapting to changing realities. In complex situations, “we’ll adapt. We’ll have to. God is change” (Butler 147, Sower).

In the introduction and first three steps of Dr. Kent Ingle’s book, Devine Design, provides a guide to help us guide our lives and find our divine design. In step one he explains how we must find the catalysts in our life. A catalyst is something that provokes or speeds a significant change or action (19). What Ingle is saying in this first step is that you cannot be afraid to take on the adventures of life. When a new adventure or opportunity arises be brave and say yes. No matter how terrifying the adventure looks do not sit by and let life slip through your fingertips. You must jump into life and make the effort to become what you are divinely designed to do. Furthermore, in step two of Dr. Ingle’s book there is an emphasis on self-reflection. The reason we must reflect is to promote self-discovery, and this creates progress in our lives. Finally, in step three Dr. Ingle covers the topic of making decisions about life. Decisions will come frequently and we must be ready to make both small and big decisions to progress in life.

First off, the introduction peaked my interest because it was in a form of a story; the author was narrating the life of his mother and described her job as a waitress. I think this is an excellent way to get the attention of most readers because people don’t want to start reading powerful information which includes a lot of analyzing so quick into the article; this is why starting the passage off with the story is a more gentle way to introduce readers to the more factual

How does one find their spirituality? The overlaying theme between Michael Yaconelli’s, Messy Spirituality, the book the Wounded Healer and the guest speaker Roy Petitfils are all closely intertwined. How do we accept and grow to find accept and find our inner beauty and divine chosen path? Introspection and acceptance are critical to personal growth and enablement of happiness.

The topics I read about in the first couple of chapters was about the understandings of evolution and DNA. The author pointed out many times the reasons he created his book throughout chapter 1 but other then that it explains some characteristics in a gene which is selfishness and altruism. As the story progresses into chapter 2 the author begins to talk about primordial soup and where life began. The theory of primordial soup is when all of life began in the ocean or some sort of liquid form. I find this theory to be very fascinating as I have always wondered, like many others, how life came to be on earth and this theory demonstrates a very likely and understandable possibility. He starts to teach us of why sexual reproduction is preferable

My future is something I often think about. Most often, the questions that arise include the common doubts of “Am I doing this right?”, or even the occasional midnight philosophical questions such as “Why are we here?”, and so on. For the purpose of this essay, I will focus on the factors that have allowed me to reach this point in my life and how these factors influenced and continue to influence me, in order to provide me with a visualization of my future.

To choose your own future, destiny and life is very hard. Everyone wants to do something that makes them happy. But sometimes you take the wrong decisions or everything decides to go against you, which makes you stay in the box you were trying to escape from. When your dreams don’t get fulfilled, you will be in that box and wait for the light. It’s not always about what you want, but what you need. And to live a good life, and to do something productive, you have to work in a way that will make you happy, because that is what you need the most.
