Dream Big!!

Are you a dreamer? If you are not sure, let me ask you a few questions. Do you ever find yourself thinking about the future when others are talking about the present? Can you picture what your house will look like in 5 years (down to the paint color)? Do you get strange looks from others when you talk about the future?

If so, you are a dreamer, or as I prefer to call it a visionary. What is so wrong with dreaming big? Are we afraid of failure? afraid of success? overcome by the present? or consumed by the cynics?

I think many times we tend to forget that the God we serve is a big God and has done a lot of big things. Just as a reminder, He parted the Red Sea, caused a city to collapse at the vibration of footsteps and trumpets, fed 5,000+ people with a boy's lunch, and rose again after being dead 3 days. Why do we think He will only do small things in our lives and churches?

As we think about the future of our ABF, church, ministry, and families, let me encourage you to Dream Big, Pray Big, and live in faith anticipating big things from a BIG God.
