I know a great pastor in Florida who was single and had a great church. He introduced me to his wife and shared their story. Apparently she is a widow because her husband died while flying a plane that wasn’t in good shape. Someone else is now living his dream with his wife. Personally, I drink green smoothies and stay healthy so that I can live a LONG life. I want to ensure NO ONE ELSE lives my dream with my wife. What are you doing to achieve and keep your dream?
Don’t Let Someone Else Live Your Dream
When it gets hard, and the dream starts to get hazy that’s when the mission drift begins. It can be easy to rationalize and start to let go of pieces of the dream. We get older and downsize the dream. We figure if it’s taking God this long then maybe he can’t handle the size of our dream.
Don’t Settle It’s Time To Expand The Dream!
Women might start with a dream for a Christian man who loves God, has a job and treats them well. Then
they hope for a Christian, who loves God and has a job. Then they hope for a man who has heard of God and has a part-time job. Then they just want a man. Stop downsizing your dream! EXPAND!!!
People Told Me I Couldn’t Do It, But I Preach In Jeans
People will tell you it can’t happen. They will tell you it WON’T happen. I was told, “You can’t preach in jeans, or preach in two different churches in the same city. In fact, you can’t have two LARGE churches in the same city. And you certainly can’t preach in two different states at the same time.”
And what do you know? I’m doing it. God just needed me to be willing, and he has given provision for the vision.
Be Encouraged
Lord, I ask you to touch each person reading this blog today in a prolific way. Help them realize that other people won’t understand their dream. Only they know the focus that you have given to them. You gave it to them, and you are drawing them closer to it. AMEN!
