Another interesting read, Lisa! I admit I don’t quite grasp all the nuances here, but that is a great list for self-reflection!

In reply to Sarah Donegan. That line moves me, too, Sarah. Each of our chapters is critical to our storyline, and every story is meant for more than just the main character.

In reply to ~ linda. I'm glad you emphasized the "movements", Linda, because I had sort of passed it over. I definitely hadn't thought of it in terms of musical movements, but I love that analogy! Thanks for sharing your wisdom, as usual.

In reply to Jean Wise. Yes, Jean, I'm amazed at how many different things are intersecting this year with my desire to learn more through the enneagram. God is definitely teaching me more and more!

“Our story is written to be read again.” What a neat line!

Sounds like another great “Lisa” recommendation. Thanks. I like the “Movements” part…makes me think about the movements of Beethoven’s or Shostakovich’s or Vivaldi’s music. With a pause between each Movement, I will ponder the next question in this list. Will be looking into this book, my online librarian. : )

you know me and the power of questions. That list is great, Lisa. AND this fit so well with your word and with your interest in the enneagram and a deeper understanding of yourself and others. God is teaching you a ton, good friend!

In reply to Somer. Yes, Somer. Wise words from you. If we can remember that each life is a story-in-progress, maybe we can be less impatient to want the book to be over. God works in pages and chapters and we have to let him flesh out the plots and characters in his own timing and ways.

In reply to Nicole Kauffman. I agree, Nicole. I've never had an official mentor before, but there have definitely been godly women in my life (both older and younger) that have taught me SO much. So grateful for the way God provides spiritual friendships for us.

In reply to floyd.

I’d love to go back in time and hear your pearls of wisdom to the teams you coached, Floyd! I’m sure you had a strong way of connecting with them.

It actually took me a few weeks to read this book. ha. I just downloaded a Kindle book from my library that is 600 pages though. Yikes! I’ll be there for awhile. 😉
