Chapter 5 – Breathing In – Part 4

But it is the spirit in a man, the breath of the Almighty, that gives him understanding.
Job 32:8

Exercise 4: “If only… I would…”

“If time and money were not an object, I would take myself to… Everywhere. There isn’t a place I wouldn’t go. I’ve always wanted to go to Iceland. But I would love to go most anywhere. Try everything. Castles and pyramids. Oceans and skies.

“If time and money were not an object, I would buy myself… a studio. An art studio. And different types of paint. And every color and every brush. And I’d shop the glass store and buy every kind I was attracted to. And I’d have my own kiln. Or maybe a house on a large piece of land with an art studio on the land, but separate from the house.

“If time and money were not an object, I would learn how to… play every instrument with honest to goodness lessons. Music in the morning. Art in the afternoon. Or vice versa. Have to fit the writing in somewhere. I guess I would never sleep.

“If time and money were not an object, I would give myself the gift of… housekeepers, personal chef, personal trainer … hahaha. Chauffeur? When left to my own devices, I sometimes forget to eat… Someone to bring me my food and snacks and drinks would be lovely. Of course it would all be healthy too!

“If time and money were not an object, I would give someone I love… The ability to do what they want and not what that must do. Go to school. Be an artist. Travel. Have more time off to do what they love to do too.

That was fun. What I want most? Art studio and then personal chef!!

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Romans 15:13

They sacrifice on the tops of the mountains and burn offerings on the hills, under oak, poplar, and terebinth, because their shade is good. Therefore your daughters play the whore, and your brides commit adultery.

Hosea 4:13 (ESV)
