Wake up... Eat... Work... Come home... Watch the box...
Eat... Sleep... Wake up... And everything happens all over again. Many of us spend hours in the Land of
Familiar, a very big city in the Wasteland, consumed with life as usual. We live totally unaware that deep within us lays
Something Special: a Dream, given to us by someone even more Special -- the
Dream Giver. We struggle to find Meaning
in a very Ordinary life, when God designed it to be the very opposite.
What would happen if, all of a sudden, the Dream we've
always had come to the surface, giving us a vision of the possibility to
fulfill it? What would it take to get
from Here to There? Would we be willing
to break away from Familiar in order to prepare ourselves for the accomplishment
of this Dream? Even more importantly,
would we dare to step across the Comfort Zone where the Dream Giver’s Purpose
lies? Read with us this week as we
discover how to line up with the Dream Giver's Plan for accomplishing our
Dream.
