Just three weeks ago several (intelligent, well-qualified, experienced) people told me that I was setting myself up for failure when I announced that our church, which doesn't even open until January 11th, 2009, was going to host a big bash at an inner city elementary school where we provided every child a toy and new school uniform. After all…
The goal is too big.
We are too small.
Economic times are too tough.
The mountain is too high.
All of these things were true and are still true, but our vision requires God to intervene. If your vision is so small that you know you can easily do it, IT'S NOT BIG ENOUGH!
We haven't hit our goal yet, but we're already halfway there and have raised enough money for 417 brand new school uniforms! Have you counted God out of your vision? If so, go back to the drawing board and re-imagine what you (AND GOD) can do together!
