Do you have dreams for your life? Some people do, some people don't. Some people used to have dreams but gave up on them.
To give up on your dreams is to enter a life of pain, and discouragement. You will always wonder, "what if?" Right now, maybe you are reading this and your eyes are filling with tears. You know exactly what I am talking about.
Every person has to decide if they will settle for a mediocre life, or if they will relentlessly pursue their dreams. It is not that there is anything wrong with you if you don't accomplish great things. It is all a question of potential. Are you aware of something that you were "supposed to do?" To ignore it, is to live beneath your potential. It is to accept a life of comfort instead of pursuing that which you were created for.
It is not too late for you to go to college. It is not too late to write a book. You can go into the mission field.
If you have given up on your dreams, pick them back up. They are right were you left them. God places these things on our hearts for a reason.
It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.

You read books from time to time that leave an impression in your thinking and decision-making process. One such book for me, read years ago, is Bob Buford's "Half Time"...the transition in a man's life from success to significance.
Clay refered to this book Tuesday in the IMPACT meeting. The question was asked, "Do you believe that there is more for you?"
What a critical question! If one believes there is no more...then this may become a self-fulfillng belief in that person's life.
What part of Jesus' promise to bring us, His followers, life more abundant, is believing that there is no more for me? Abundant life doesn't stop part way through my life. Abundant life suggests 'more than I can imagine, expect, even handle on my own'.
If God has given us a dream or vision, perhaps a part of abundant living might be the conversion of the dream into a plan...following Him on into the realization of the dream. Trusting Him with His dream in your life.

This is so timely for me! Your blog was sent to me by my sister who saw the Daneel post. Thank you for encouraging the hearts of the saints, and giving us vision to continue to press on and run the race.
