IMAGINE. REIMAGINE. AND THEN RE-REIMAGINE

Have you ever thought about non-change?  It would be called stuckism. 

Have you ever dreamed of your infant never learning to walk?  Or talk?  Did you go into your profession determined to protest if ever offered a raise?  A bonus?  Would you have ever considered recommending your colleagues never bathe?  Or, shower?

Why, then, is new such a dirty three-letter word among some professing to have experienced the three-letter word birth?  Weird, isn't it?

I thrive on God's willingness to allow us imagination room.  He seems to delight in our experience of it to the point He will trump what we can imagine...Eph. 3:20.

When you pray, I encourage you to seek the hand of His imagination connected to our walk. 

Think.  Dream.  Wonder.  And....then knock.

Don't plan.  Don't arrange.  Don't control.

Just knock.  Knock with thanksgiving for what He will do with, for, and through you that you haven't the slightest concept. 

Praise.  Worship.  Imagine.  Receive....receive more than you imagined because of Who and How God is; not due to who and how you are.

Don't maneuver.  Don't plot.  Don't align the success ducks in rows.

Imagine.  Reimagine.  And then re-reimagine.

I believe God will send down heaven's surprises...again!

Terry. I am trying so hard to imagine and re-imagine a new life of service. I am striving hard to develop a new voice in ministry. When it feels as if you have lost everything, dreaming new goals is all that is left...
