I was running behind in reading my daily dose of blogs. I wish I would have read this before my last post. It is amazing how God is speaking to both of us individually about the same things. He is a great friend and is very passionate about bringing God maximum glory with his life. Philip and I had a great conversation with one of those college students who dared to dream.. I will share it with you later.Let me encourage you to sign up for my buddies blog.  From Philip Bassham the Singles Pastor of Vision Baptist Church  I just made a trip back to my old school early this week to recruit people for the Summit, Student Leadership Conference, and Our Generation Training Center.I went to college dumb, naïve, and hungry. And college was a simple and straightforward – not a lot of complexities to get distracted with and in that environment my dreamer went wild. I was growing every day, I asked more questions every day, I loved God more every day, and my desire to see Him work in my life kept me pursuing Him and what He wanted me to step out and do.And there always seemed to be opportunities to step out and do. So at the beginning of semesters I would grit my teeth, grimace and sign up for the hardest classes I could find. And all year I was pushed to learn. Every summer, or break from class, I made myself sign up for something that would put me in places where I could see Him use me.Every few months I had to choose. And I went to college and saw a bunch of students at the conjunction.And it reminded me that if I’m not careful that I will think that I’m smart, comfortable and satisfied. Choices don’t seem so obvious any more. They don’t show up as a class schedule or internship opportunity. They are disguised as a call to make, a place to go, or some other form of extra work. That doesn’t sound very exciting.But I remembered this week that dreams die because dreams are starved. And dreams survive on the extra stuff.
