So we keep on praying for you, asking our God to enable you to live a life worthy of his call. May he give you the power to accomplish all the good things your faith prompts you to do. -II Thess 1:11

Have you ever had a dream in your heart to be something, but you never told anyone? Or maybe you never started to work on your dream because you didn’t know if you would be any good at it, so you put your dream on hold.

You want so desperately to be a leader, a writer, a speaker, a singer, a church staff member, a church planter, entrepreneur, fill in the blank  _______, but nobody has ever told you that you should be that, so you backed out. We dream. We fear. We give up. Repeat.
