Have you ever seen the movie “UP” ? It is a pixar movie that begins with a wonderful life lesson. Mr. Frederickson and his wife, Elle, have this dream to go to Paradise falls in South America. They begin to save money in a jar so that one day they will make it to this place. Life happens and they use the money for other things. Then, Ella gets sick and soon dies. Mr. Frederickson gets old and well after his wife dies, decides to move his house to Paradise Falls. He waited his whole life and after his wife dies to finally fulfill his dream of going to Paradise falls.
There are so many reasons to put off our dreams, if we are not intentional. Money, comfort, and Fear are all reasons to NOT put our life on the line for the God given dreams that we receive. I don’t want to be like Mr. Frederickson. I want to follow the things that the Lord has laid on my heart, even if they don’t make any sense to the worldly standards. There are a million reasons to not follow my heart, but really is that what a life of faith all about? What do you dream about? Why aren’t you DOING it?
