Dreaming Big

My brother Buddy is the best I know of when it comes to dreaming big. Sometimes I think I am dreaming big until I hear his dreams. He always pushes and sharpens me here. I want to be like him when I grow up. Anyway…here is my thought today…do you dream big? Do you dream at all? What are some things you want to do before you die? Do you have a list? Have you ever written them down? I still want to jump out of an airplane (with a parachute) …I want to go to Hawaii (never been) and I want to go to Italy (never been). I want to go to the parade when the Eagles win the Super Bowl (need some divine intervention here). And I think I would like to go on one of those fishing trips in Alaska where they fly you in and pick you up 5 days later.

Spiritually, I am living one of my dreams right now. I might tell you more about it later this year if God let’s me. What kind of spiritual goals do you have? What is something you want to be a part of? Maybe it’s to read your Bible through in one year or go on a mission’s trip to Russia. I still dream of 10 feeding centers in Russia. I’d like to see a building for the feeding center in Moldova. I’d like to baptize over 100 people this year. I’d like to see my neighbors follow Jesus. I dream of Fellowship reaching THOUSANDS in the Delaware Valley for Christ. What are some of your dreams that you need to dust off today?

John,

Thanks for encouraging me to dream BIG! There are those that when you are around them they deflate your dreams, and then there are those that help you dream even BIGGER than you ever thought possible. We need to surround ourselves with people that dream BIG! You are one of those people that help me in this area. Thanks Bro!
