I can not seem to get the thought “fight for the dream” our of my mind. You should check out my last post where I put the words of Philip Bassham from Vision Baptist Church. I have seen the difference in life lived with and without a God’s size dream in my heart. If you are out there and have a clue what I am talking about would you send me your story.. trent@bcwe.org For as long as I could remember I felt like an outsider. I have a good mom and family (crazy but good). I had my share of difficulties withe the loss of my dad, ulcerative colitis while in high school, etc.. but it wasn’t those things that made me feel so much like an outsider. I just could never find happiness in what my friends thought was so interested. By no means do I think I was a spiritual giant or even a good kid for that matter. I just felt like God was always saying.. no this is not it.. hold out I have something bigger and better. Through my high school years my world view begin to be formed. I became interested in churches, church planting, God’s glory, and a whole slew of things that others around me didn’t seem to get pumped about. I knew God was doing something in my heart and I couldn’t wait to see what it would be. I would lie in bed at night dreaming about how God might use my life. As a freshman I saved up money to fly to Florida to visit a college. I wanted to be ahead of the game. It seemed true to me that big goals would require big preparation. God was developing the dreams in me that I would eventually spend the next few years chasing after. I am going to spend sometime talking about the development of these dream. There are so many things trying to kick the ever living dream out of me.. one being ministry. I will get to that later.. but first I want to talk about some of the common things God does in our lives as He is packing full our small hearts with his huge dream.
