OMG, I have had such an epiphany. Thank you so much for your posts.. I will now give myself ‘the luxury of field duty’… Might even work up the courage to blog about it.. non-annonymously.

Thank you again

I really, really love this. I've been having some issues with moving forward because I have too many interests and share in too many different directions. My 3 movies are Rocky, View from the Top, and Music & Lyrics, just off the top of my head, Underlying theme I see? Pulling out your inner dreams and rocking your calling…

I don't. I'm so sorry. I participated in it via a writer's loop a while back.

I've been asking the question "what are your top three movies," to my co-workers and friends. It's always a conversation starter and the answers have been very insightful. The results have been all over the place, but "John Wayne Movies," Shawshank Redemption," and "The Sound of Music," have been repeated over and over. Do you have any additional information or resources on this particular exercise? Someone should put together a movie guide that could help refine the outcome. Lots of fun!

Thank you for this post!! I just read the book Tribes and was very challenged to seek the Lord even more about how he wants to use me specifically in His kingdom. I know it starts in prayer, and walking in perseverance to touch the people he has placed in our lives. Nothing we do for His glory is wasted!

Very interesting, Jenny. One of the books I wrote had to do with this idea of parents helping kids engage the culture. We start with a lot of control, then continue to release it as our kids get older.

Self-Esteem is feeling good enough about ones-self to be able to cope with basic challenges of life. In highschool I didn't feel good about myself. I never really fit in. I didn't understand the social code–I didn't understand inuendos or popular terminology (I grew up in the 80's/90's). My parents kept me sheltered from most things (popular movies, books, music) so I couldn't participate in small talk. I didn't know how to carry on a conversation. I was afraid to talk on the phone. I didn't think anybody liked me for who I was, they just wanted help with homework–I was a nerd. I also learned that I didn't understand my faith. My short temper flared in the face of criticism. Even when I was encouraged, I didn't know how to take it.

Thanks, John. I saw your post. Good job! I went through the exercise over a year ago, and I've been using it ever since to help folks understand their mission.

My pleasure Alisha. Thanks for using my proposal tutorial (and Mike's too). Combined, you should have a good representation of your book.

Let me push a little further. Define self-esteem. What do you mean when you say you struggled with self esteem issues?

I want to write stories that show kids how to live the Christian life everyday and the apply the Bible to every day problems. Because I think it can be hard for kids to figure out how a book with stories from thousands of years ago can apply today. I also want to help kids with self-esteem and help parents avoid undermining their children's self-esteem and discover new ways to build their child's self-esteem. i struggled with self-esteem issues and want to pass on what I learned to parents and kids.

Great things you're doing Jenny. It sounds like a lot of what you do has to do with kids. Can you streamline that a bit? If you could have a line of products for kids, what would they be? Why?

Thank you Mary for an insightful post. I took your advice and put down my top three movies and it really opened my eyes up. What a brilliant strategy for personal introspection. I did a post about it herehttp://bit.ly/d8UC2Z
