I know something about you, even though I may not know you.
You have a dream – a desire to shake up what is normal and make a difference through your time on earth.
A desire to not just join the ranks of mediocrity, but to really do something amazing.
I’ve talked a lot on this blog about having a vision and submitting to your lead pastor and executing a discipleship strategy.
But too often these great ideas remain just that – ideas. We think about them, pray about them, even write them down. But we don’t actually do them.
pul·ver·ize/ˈpəlvəˌrīz/Verb
- Reduce to fine particles.
- Defeat utterly.
Every time I sit down to write, I hear voices.
Whether it’s a blog post, a song, or a sermon, these voices stand in my way.
Before you label me crazy, close out my blog, and ignore me, let me explain.
Have you heard phrases like this?
We like big ideas like that. They feel romantic. They sound inspiring. They awaken the dream.
Can I summarize those big ideas for you? Can I make it clear? Truth be told?
It’s flippin’ hard work.
Launching your ideas is easy…following through with them (and doing what you said you’d do) is hard.
There’s something you’ve been thinking about doing that you haven’t done yet.
You’ve been procrastinating.
We’ve heard the excuses – you’re too busy, you’re too uninformed, you’re not skilled enough yet, you need to gather more facts.
I’m not buying it.
It’s time to do it.
