Fly After Your Dream!

While watching some college football yesterday, I saw a commercial for the new "borderless" flat panel TV by LG.  You can see the commercial above.

While I have no plans to rush out and buy this TV (my budget laughs at the very thought), I was struck by something in the commercial.  I wonder how many people have dreams like the protaganist in the commercial. But they don't pursue them because everyone around, like the scoffing bird that shakes it's head, says "can't be done!"  And so we sit on our island frittering away our days.

But if God has placed a dream, a vision, an idea in your heart and you just can't shake it, then you MUST pursue it!  You MUST spread your wings and try to fly after the dream.  Yes, there will be risks.  Yes, you might fall. But wouldn't you rather live with the lessons learned through a failure than with the regret of not trying?  And keep in mind - it might not fail.  The vision might go even further than even YOU dreamed it could go.

So spread your wings.  Get a running start.  Jump and fly.  Fly after your dream!

The best book (outside of Scripture) I know of on the topic of pursuing a dream is Visioneering by Andy Stanley.  If you are thinking about flying, it is worth the investment to buy this book, and learn through the biblical book of Nehemiah how to fly after the vision God has placed on your heart and mind.
