I posted last week and said that opportunities are reproducing like rabbits right now. Last Thursday was a great example. I wrote one article for Relevant magazine and got two article requests that same day.

I can’t seem to keep up with the doors God seems to be opening right now. I had a phone conference with a publisher last week. Honestly, I would have been thrilled about one publisher being interested in my manuscript. And I’d put this particular publisher at the top of my wish list. But I’ve got another publisher who just expressed interest this week.

I guess this is a gratitude blog. I just don’t take any of this for granted. I honestly attribute it to the “favor” of God.

My modus operandi is pretty simple: work like it depends on you and pray like it depends on God. I pour myself into everything I do then I pray for the favor of God. That’s how I approach pastoring. That’s how I approach writing. That’s how I approach the God ideas I’m cultivating right now.

I have a simple life philosophy. I get credit for the bad stuff and God gets credit for the good stuff. So God gets the credit for the good stuff that is happening right now.
