One of the things they talked about this past week at SLU was to chase your dreams! Don't be afraid to fail! What is YOUR dream? What would you do if you knew that you couldn't fail or if you knew no one was going to say that you are not old enough or pretty enough or talented enough. What would you do? What would YOU do?
Why can't we dream? Why can't it come true? Why can't I have a dream and chase it with all my heart and try...try to accomplish it? WHY NOT!?!?! Why must there be dream squashers in the world? S what is your dream? Write it out! What do you wish to see happen? Let part of it be a little selfish! But then think of a dream that you wish to see happen for the kingdom of God!
I will tell you my dream....I want to get a full ride to college (still not sure where I am going yet) and one day have my very own orphanage in Africa and to make fresh clean water available to everyone around the world! Did you know that 80% of the world doesn't have clean water! 80%!!! That blows my mind! Anyway, that is a crazy dream and most people would look at that and say, Ha! Yeah sure clean water to the whole world? You are a crazy person!" But you know what? They can think that but I am going to do everything in my power to make sure that happens! And they can think whatever they want and You know, people who say that are probably right. How can I get fresh water to the whole world but what if I fail? What if I fail? What if I only get water to one remote village in the Amazon. What if? would it be considered a failure? Not to me! that is one more village that didn't have clean water that now has clean water. Do you know how many lives that could save? In summary, DREAM IT...DO IT! and Please, please, please don't be a dream squasher!
One last thing, The number one reason people don't go for their dreams is fear of failure. BUT FAILURE is not FATAL unless it is FINAL! Don't let one little thing make you think you can't chase your dreams!
"Shoot for the moon and if you miss, at least, you will land among the stars!"
Another thing we talked about at SLU was the most important decisions you will make in your life.
1) What you will do with Jesus Christ (accept or reject him)
2) Where you will go to college
3) What you are going to do with the rest of your life
4) Who you will spend the rest of your life with
I got to thinking about that. I have only made one of those decisions! AHHH!!!! That, on one hand, scares me to death! I have to make some MAJOR decisions in the next few years. I mean all of the 3 that I haven't gotten to in life yet are coming up...in like 2 or 3 years! AHH!! But on the other hand, that excites me like nothing else!! I can't wait to get to make those decisions! I can't wait to see how my life plays out in the next few years!
