Modern-Day Jonah Nathan Tabor

God had a calling on my life and a plan for me, but instead of implementing it, I did things my way. Why was I on this path Superficially, it was easy enough to ascribe many of my problems to a combination of past hurts, rejection and my own personal pride, which drove me to overcompensate in a desire to prove them wrong. Yes, all that was true, as certainly didn't help. But there was more. I didn't have the right to blame anyone but myself. I had wanted to go my own way, and to follow my own path, and this is where it had led me. I had created my own problems because I had not been obedient to God. I had been on a long, slow process of drifting away from God. I was like a Modern-Day Jonah, rebelliously running from the calling that God had placed on my life. And just like Jonah in days of old, the storms had come into my life. So much destruction had descended upon my family and me because of my own failure to simply obey God. But like Jonah, I found myself in a miserable place where I had no choice but to relent and surrender to God's higher call on my life. The decision to surrender to God was immediate and dramatic. I "jumped from the boat" and started working to make things right in my life. But just like Jonah I had problems to deal with that I had created. Now God has laid it on my heart to share my story with others. Do you know what my first reaction was? "Really God? You want me to tell others of my failures. That's embarrassing. You know God, I really appreciate this opportunity but it's just not for me. I'm going to pass." Well, after a few years and a few more conversations, I'm sharing my story with others. The misery, anxiety, discomfort, worrying, arguing and everything else were just symptoms of my deeper problem, my heart wasn't right with God and I wasn't walking with Him. I was not in God's will for my life. I know am passionate about telling as many people as possible about my experience so that they might avoid the storms I caused in my life or that they might know they aren't alone and there is a way to turn back to God. My message is simple and direct. "If you aren't doing what God has called you to do, you need to stop and immediately get right with God."What will you find in this book?- Where Are You with God?- Overcoming "Mind Games"- Dealing with Pride- Dealing with Forgiveness/Bitterness- Developing Patience- Wisdom Matters- Our Daily Walk- and SO much more!Nathan Tabor is the founder of Handling Life.
