Who says time flies when you're having fun?

It's more like when you're busy. 

The last few weeks have been crazy! Everytime I sit down to post about our curriculum, how we're doing, or some other thought of mine... I have to go do something.

I'm one of those bloggers that does everything online. I don't sit down and start writing several posts at once in notepad and save them until they're done. I log in to the control panel and start typing. If I don't get it finished... I start all over. Yes, very inefficient.

Anyway, I wish I could capture time and make it do what I want for a change. Wouldn't that be nice? Tell the clock, "Why don't you back up about three hours today. That would really help. Thanks!"

But, we can't. Bummer.

And God has been doing some talking. Actually shouting at me to get my duff off the ground and start work on a Big God Sized Dream I've had for a long time. The reason I've had it for a long time is because I don't know where to even get started.

The thing is... I can't wait anymore. It has become all consuming. I dream about it during the night. I think about it all day long. My daily Scripture reading has had to do with God leading and preparing the way.

How's this for coincidence... I was given a new small group study to look over before the church buys it to see if it would be something that we could use. The name of it is "Burning Daylight" based on the book of the same name by Erwin McManus.  Guess what the topic of the study is?

Stop wasting time and start doing what God is calling us to.

I love the study. It's amazing. But, I also hate it. It's talking directly to me at a time when I'm still scared.

Now, I know that God will clear the way. I know that He is always with us. I know that His strength will carry me and His grace is all sufficient. I can't help at times to feel just like the ten spies returning from the promiseland. Scared.

But, I'm going to go for it. I'm going to do what God wants me to do. I'm going to join Him where He is right now in our community and be His instrument in reaching as many teenagers as I can for Christ.

Would you do me a favor? When you think of it, would you please ask God to give me strength and wisdom?

Thank you. I promise I'll let you in on the Big God Sized Dream in a few days once I get some more info on a direction. And I won't stay away so long.
