Dream Team

John Maxwell challenges people to come up with one example of someone doing something of great significance - without the help of others. We all have dreams of what we want in life. Hopefully those dreams have passed through the filter of God's Word and will help many people if they come true. The question is, what are you doing to help others realize their dreams? On Friday I drove my daughter to school as my wife was preparing to take a three hour trip to her brother's house. Crystal was planning to be gone until Sunday and Lauren was asking why mommy had to be gone for so long. "Lauren, mommy is going up to help aunt Amy because uncle Billy is away, training to own his very own Chick-Fil-A restaurant." I told Lauren that we were helping uncle Billy as he pursues his dream. What are your dreams and who do you have on your team to help make those dreams come true? Maybe a better questions is, "Do you look for opportunities to help others make their dreams come true?" It should make us feel good to see others excel and know that we played a part. Ask those around you what their dreams are, then get on their dream team. The people you bless may be the ones that God uses to help you fulfill your wildest dreams.

Even Nehemiah needed help to fulfill his dream of rebuilding the wall of Jerusalem. Read Nehemiah 2.
