God's Dream for You...


Have you ever felt like everyone is against you?  Like the entire world is conspiring to see you fail? Especially this early in the morning, maybe you are on your way to work, and you just cannot see a future… 

Well, I want to remind you of something very important today.  Something that we don’t usually think about.  God is on your side.  He is for you and not against you.  Jeremiah 29:11 say that “God has a plan for your life, a future and a purpose.” 

What Jeremiah was saying centuries ago, is that God has a dream for YOU.  Think about that for a second, just as you dream for your kids, or even for yourself, God also dreams for you.  So when you feel tired, or at the end of your rope, stop, quiet yourself, and listen.  Listen for God’s dream for your life.

TRUTH

truth /tro ͞ oTH/  that which is true or in accordance with fact or reality. I’m growing a little frustrated these days.  When I was a child, you could rely on the news media to report “the facts and just the facts, Ma’am.”  In the days of Walter Cronkite, et al, the news was considered a reliable source; a place we could go for factual reporting and firsthand, verified accounts.  There were only three channels, after all... However, times - they are a’ changin’.  Is all news reporting reliable?  Is some news reporting reliable?  If you ask Fox, they are the only reliable news source.  If you ask CNN, MSNBC, etc., it’s them.  Yet, someone HAS to be wrong, as what they are reporting varies WILDLY.  If it doesn’t vary wildly, it’s colored with so much opinion and biased nuance, the facts can barely be perceived for the smokescreen of opinion. Here are some examples of conflicting reports, just off the top of my head: 1. ...

Leadership Lessons from Crepe Myrtles

Last spring I cut the side of my face, right my left ear.  After the bleeding stopped I learned a great lesson about life, leadership, and relationships.  Along the front of our church we had a beautiful life of crepe myrtles.    They looked breathtaking: bright red, full of blooms and just a year old.  They had grown at a very rapid pace, partly because we had an unusually mild winter, partly because the temperature has been quite comfortable for them, but mostly because we have had a lot of rain extending late into the summer.   For those who are not familiar with Arkansas weather patterns, we usually have a lot of spring storms, bringing with them massive rains. Flash-floods - you know, National Weather Service alarms on your phone, kind of rains.  This usually happens from around April until the middle of June.  Then something crazy happens - the rain stops.  I mean, turn the spigo...

Doing What You Love...

I was sitting in Starbucks awhile back working on this blog, making contacts with people, planning the rest of my day and just enjoying what God was doing in my life. We had just launched a new small group, Success iN Life (SNL). It was designed to help people find true, Biblical success in their lives. We talked about what true success looked like. We had a white board out and people gave words to define success. We had money, security, "Mother Theresa", but my favorite was from a gentleman who said, “Success for me is Happiness.” Wow what a statement. I believe that true success is seen in that simple word that most of us find hard to find - happiness. The true test of success in life is whether or not you are truly happy where you are. The Bible says, " the joy of the Lord is our strength ". The word joy denotes happiness. I have heard many people preach that joy and happiness are two different things, I don't thank so. I think that when you are fulfilli...
