My ambition
I just had an amazing quiet time. I loved what I have blogged so far but I really wanted to get more personal. So what are my ambitions and why?
(and now I have learned to save my blogs while typing them so little fingers don't accidently erase what you just wrote.)
Romans 15:20 Paul says, "It has always been my ambition to preach the gospel where Christ was not known, so that I would not be building on someone else's foundation."
My ambitions are to be a reference point. To connect people to whereever they need to be in order to grow in God. Often times it's to a cell or to a person that would be able to impact their lives. I find though that because I am friendly and outgoing people want to connect only to me. Pastor Dave has said that in your life time you will have only about 6 close friends. I have to realize that I can't be a close friend to everyone I meet and some how I feel I need to express that.
In the Children's book The Legend of the Three Tree's I would have to say I would most likely want to be the Pine Tree (I think it was) that wanted to stay on the mountain top and forever point people to God. Interestingly enough though as the book says the dreams of the trees happened just not in the way they expected and that pine tree was the tree that was chopped down and made into the cross. Ouch.
Blessings to you as you think about what your ambitions are and why.
