They have HIGH
hopes
ambitions
dreams
They THINK
creatively
purposefully
intentionally
They DON'T
take no for an answer
listen when people say they can't (sometimes this is not a blessing)
get discouraged by logistics
I thought I was going to save the world when I was in high school. I didn't see obstacles or set backs because I was so blinded by my goals. Reality was a blur and my dreams were in full focus. I just wanted to do big things. Somewhere between then and now my big dreams have turned into inspiring others' big dreams. I still have my own big dreams, but on top of those I want to motivate, help, and be a part of every big dream that comes from my high school kids. I want to encourage them to look past the obstacles and set backs because 9 times out of 10 those aren't from God. I want to reassure them that their age doesn't limit their ability, or their responsibility for that matter. While their peers are out drinking or doing drugs, they are having wells built in Africa and bibles translated into different languages across the world. They are making it on Earth as it is in Heaven while juggling homework, football games, homecoming dates, band practice, exams, mean teachers, mean girls, and whatever else the devil is bringing along to distract them with. I just want to remind them to keep their focus on Christ and as Tori always quotes, "Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up" -Galations 6:9.
