God's dreams for you are...

“God’s dreams for you are ultimately not really about you. Oh, don’t misunderstand. They’ll bring you some of the best days of your life; you will be fulfilled beyond any imaginable expectations. But God’s dreams take form only when they are about others, for the benefit of others. Loving them. Guiding them. Serving them. Influencing them. Filling their heads with dreams and hope. There are no other types of God dreams. Nothing less or else will compel, attract, or seem worthy of this God heart within you.”

From the book “TrueFaced” by Thrall, McNicol and Lynch

 

“…[A]nd whoever wants to be first among you must be the slave of everyone else. For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

Jesus, Mark 10:44-45

Sometimes it all comes together just right

The Faith of Abraham -- Full Message

 

The passing of time has changed for me.

There was a time when the things I liked doing went by quickly and the things I disliked seemed to drag on forever.

Now the things I like doing still go by very quickly but get this: even the things I dislike go by quickly, too!

I’m not joking. I mean this in a very sincere way.

It passes quickly my friends.

You say, “What passes quickly?”

Life.

Smile. Pay attention. Love. Forgive. Laugh. Listen. Be kind. Love Jesus. Help. Build up. Pet a dog. Try to pet a cat. Pray for others. Play peek-a-boo with a baby. Do something nice without telling anyone. Tell people that you love them.

Remember: There was a time…

Always Faithful -- Terrific new book by Major Tom Schueman and Zainullah Zaki

When I pointed out Tom’s book on the shelf at Barnes and Noble, Rachel was so excited that she let out a scream and started crying. (Not sad crying. It was happy crying.) For Rachel, Tom ranks up there with the Backstreet Boys and NSYNC. Actually, come to think of it, Tom’s probably a little higher on her list than those guys.

I said, “Shh, don’t do that. People are on high alert these days. They will think something terrible is happening.”

Tom is a man of faith, courage, intelligence, commitment and valor! He is a man of perseverance and an impressive amount of sheer grit. To say I am proud of him is an understatement.

I have read about a third of the book already. It is interesting and exciting! The story is like something from a movie, it is remarkable. But it’s not fiction, it’s true!

Congratulations Tom. Well done!

 

Thanking Collin, praying for him and saying farewell!
