Inciting Incident #1

Word of God says to me:
“This is a new Chapter in my life.”

Now, Your basic story Arch:
“A Character who wants something and overcomes conflict to get it.”

The character – me!
SO… first off I must have the “what if’s” to find what I want…

Wants something:
- a new job,
- to write a book,
- to be a pastor.

And overcomes conflict to get it…
The reality of the situation is that sucess doesn't come without a struggle; nothing will just be handed to me. I believe the conflict will come in many different forms. First off my own doubts and insecurities. Second, rejections. Third anything else that will be getting in my way in the near future.

So after I have my “wants,” and my possible deterrents, I realize that all I need to get started is to take that first step. I needed to enter my “point of no return,” my “inciting incident.” Theoretically after taking that step, it kind of forces me to follow through with my goal. Remember, “dreams don’t become reality until they first become goals!” – (quote by me, lol)

So in the near future I will be creating some inciting incidents to get the ball rolling on changing my life. I have already started acting on each goal in different ways. But the goal for which I have actually attained an inciting incident is the “new job.”

Inciting Incident:
Last Friday I applied for a job with a statewide agency that helps victims of domestic violence. I almost didn’t apply but immediately thought that if I got the inciting incident in place, that I would have to at least try to get this job, so I would at least be moving toward my goals instead of just standing still…
And so with that, inciting incident #1 is born. My interview appointment is next Monday April 26th at 1pm. I’m ready for my new chapter. Wish me luck! Prayers are appreciated!

Update

This is part of my other blog but I figured i would post it as an update here as well...

Where I am.
I wanted to post a bit about me personally to show where I am in life. I guess I have to look at various areas here including health, job, dreams, goals, Friendship, God.
Healthwise I am doing okay. I can honestly say that I am healthier now than I was a year ago. BUT I still get discouraged when I don’t see results. I have started the path but I’ve got a looong way to go!
My job is okay. The problem is that I need to be making a HELL of a lot more money and I’m not gonna be able to do it here. I need to move on so wish me luck becaue I will be turning in some resume’s soon.
Dreams – as seen in my last post I have decided to begin my first book. I will be thinking about an attention getting title, and my chapters are already laid out. I will begin writing soon.
As for my goal of becoming a pastor… Soon enough. I need to do more toward this because I know I have been slacking. I am however growing in knowledge of the word so that’s a partial step.
Friendship – I have moved forward in this department! I have forgotten the bad friends and I have gotten in touch with the good friends of my past. I have also met “D” my small group leader who I figure can be more of a mentor than a friend, but still a friend. He seems like a good and genuine guy.
God – I am learning, growing, reading, and trying! I know I have alooong way to Go but I am trying to take more steps towards God instead of away from him! He is leading me and I’m ready to go to the next chapter.
