What is God's growth plan?

Have you ever stopped to think about Hebrews 11 and all those people who accomplished such great things during their lifetime? How did they do it? How did those people move from living an ordinary life to living an extraordinary life? How did they change from being ordinary people to becoming people who did extraordinary things?

Then, have you noticed that without faith we can't please God? Well then where is God's plan for me to become a person of faith? Where is God's pathway for me to become everything He wants me to be? How do I move from ordinary to extraordinary? How do I become a mover of mountains?

The secret is setting right in front of you, but many of us have missed it because we don't want to see it. We don't want to think it's as easy as it is, or as costly as it is.

Do you want to really know what it is? Warning! It's going to cost you everything you have. Still want it? OK! Stay tuned because it's coming in the near future.

What are we building?

"Teach us to make the most of our time, so that we may grow in wisdom." Psalms 90:12

It seems like it was only a few years ago that I had all my life ahead of me. My plans and aspirations were huge. But what happened to the time? The years rushed by and I'm now looking at having only a few good years left on this earth. It makes a person wonder how they'll be remembered after they're gone.

I was just reading about Charlie Wilson, you know, the guy the movie Charlie Wilson's War was written about. He is now retired from Congress and looks back with great satisfaction that he did something worthwhile by helping the people of Afghanistan fight the communists. He managed to secretly funnel millions of dollars to Afghanistan to help those people fight and defend their country. He invested his life in something he passionately believed in.

How about us? How are you and I investing our live? How will we be remembered?
Are we getting wiser, or are we just coasting through life doing the least we can to get by?
