As I sit at my computer just before Christmas and write this article, I cannot help myself. I just can’t stop. I want to look at it again. Why can’t I get it out of my mind? I have work to do . . .
I just can’t stop wanting to look at the Angel Fire Resort webpage! On their webpage is a live webcam at the base of the mountain and I see piles of snow and skiers flying by having the time of their life!!! I keep finding myself dreaming of swooshing down the mountain! To see the beauty of God’s creation as the sun comes up on top of the snow capped mountains. I am dreaming . . .
OK, so the truth is I will be on that mountain the day after Christmas with my family, and I can’t wait! One of the greatest times of my year is when my family is together in one house and enjoying the snow drifts made by millions of snowflakes!!! But does it hurt to dream for now?
Dreams do become reality! For 2010 I want to see some dreams become reality! This year we will be doing some things as a church that are BIG dreams. In April we will be having the GO Rally at the football stadium. It is actually April 11th and 12th. I dream of every person in our area hearing the gospel of Jesus Christ preached clearly, and I dream that many of them will respond to the greatest gift ever given… the gift of eternal life! Do you dream about that too? If you do, then I want to challenge you to begin now to pray for the event and begin inviting people to come with you. That is how it will become reality . . . if we do our part!
Approximately 150 years ago a group of people had a dream to form First Baptist Church of Grandview! What a vision it must have been. I wonder if that small group of people could see the difference this body has made over the past 150 years? How much joy and jubilation they would have. On April 24th and 25th we will be celebrating the 150th anniversary of the founding of this church. I dream this will be a time of celebration of what God has done over the years — not a time for us to pat ourselves on the back, but to celebrate God’s goodness and grace! It is going to be a special time as we welcome back former staff members to lead us in worship services throughout the weekend.
As 2010 begins, I have lots of dreams. The main dream I want to become reality is for us to make the name of Jesus famous; for us to realize God is enough and to share Him with the entire community of Grandview before 2011 rolls around. There will be many resolutions made in the coming days. Will you make your resolutions Christ-centered and God honoring? I pray your new year is filled with dreams that become a reality!
Have a blessed New Year!
