the Great Dreamcrafter
i read this several weeks ago in chazown by craig groeschel. i've been chewing on it ever since.
"Disturb us, Lord, when our dreams have all come true because they were too small."
think about it, then go let God adjust your dreams. let Him take them and stretch them and pull them and remodel, rework and rebuild them - and see what they end up looking like.
He's pretty good at dreamcrafting.

He has definitely, "stretched, reworked, rebuilt and remodeled" my dreams and I'm so glad He did and I pray He continues!!!
Brandi & I were honored to share our adoption story this weekend at the HPC Adoption Workshop. One point we hit on was how we sometimes wonder how the last 6 years would have turned out had we NOT found HPC and renewed our passion to serve God. We probably would have settled for something smaller, something "normal." Thanks to the family at HPC, with their resources, support and encouragement for all areas of our life, we've chosen the path God intended.
We will be reading Chazown in October @ the book club!
There is no way I could have dreamed my life would be as great as it is now. Seriously, I am always amazed at His grace, mercy and goodness.
Dan,
Thanks for challenging my dreams this last week. You may not have intended to, but you did. Through the encouragement of yourself and your staff, my dreams, thoughts, and passions have been rekindled...I feel refreshed and ready to serve again. Thanks for everything...YOU ALL ROCK!!!!
WOW! That was just what I needed to hear. It's great to be reminded that it's OK to have a dream bigger than I can ever do alone. I can't, but He can. I need to stop listening to the world and keep focused on His word. Thanks!
Okay, Dan. This is where I have to go when I am asking God to heal AIDS...
It's far bigger than I can get my mind around.
I know God is able, but am I asking IN FAITH BELIEVING?
I have to look beyond my own feeble brain and go with the scripture assuring us that God is able to do "infinitely more than we can ask or imagine!"
dream big!
