Of course we all have dreams and aspirations, but I never really put God into that equation. I was looking at "created" references tonight and ran across this one: Ecclesiastes 7:29 This only have I found: God created humankind upright, but they have gone in search of many schemes. It really made me stop and realize, that yes, I was created upright - whole - for good things, but over the course of life so far I've gone after "schemes". Not necessarily bad things, but things that made me lose sight of who I was actually created to be. A lot of the time I still wonder about it. I have dreams inside me that seem impossible, but in my heart I know it was what I was created for. "All things are possible.." right? Guess I'll just have to wait and see how it goes :) Looking forward to the rest of the series, Chris!

If we spent half as much time being who we're supposed to be instead of trying to fit into a mold never intended for us, we could really move some mountains. I'm excited about hearing the next two, especially if you develop it with some of the letters to the churches from the NT. Chris, I really think this type of thinking could do us in.
