watershed: a community church in Stoughton, Wisconsin

Mark Batterson shared these encouraging, and challenging, words in his blog today. May they inspire you, as well.

We need to dream big dreams not because we need to accomplish big things. What we accomplish is a byproduct. We need to dream big dreams because it keeps us on our knees in raw dependence upon God. Unless He intervenes we look foolish. Dreams have far more to do with who we become in the process than the what we accomplish. They stretch us. And that’s why they are so good for us. You want to take your prayer life to the next level? Dream God-sized dreams!

Our vision of starting a dream center in DC is way beyond our ability. And the thought of opening our second coffeehouse is a little overwhelming. We can’t do either of those things. It’s going to have to be God. And that’s why it’s so good for us.

Keep dreaming big dreams, and keep trusting God.
