What If Your "What If" Became a Reality?
If you asked Naomi (my wife) she would probably say I live with the “What If?”question at the forefront of my mind most of the time. I’m not sure why but I’m always thinking about What If? in regards to faith, church, work, family, saving money, our lives in general.
I live my life by knocking on doors and trusting God to open the correct ones. (If I’m in the right place spiritually in my relationship with Christ this works out every time). Usually my “What If” questions stay in the arena of at least somewhat possible. Actually because of the “significance” strengthfinder strength it usually stays in the realm of what I know is doable.
However after a conversation I had with Dan Webster I’m allowing myself some time to ask bigger “What If” questions? I realize that I’m actually timid in regards to knocking on those “bigger” doors. Why you ask? Because I’m nervous about the life change that can happen when doors open. The bigger question for me is not asking a question like, “What if I did, said, went,_________________,etc? I ask those questions all the time. That’s the dreaming component of life. The hard question for me to answer is, “What If I pursued______________ and, it actually became a reality. What If then? What If my “What If” actually became a reality would I actually do it?
I find that people often dream, talk and even hope for change, but the reality is we don’t knock on doors because we’re nervous about the door of change actually opening because of the change that comes when a door opens.
So what are the big “What If’s” you dream about?
Have you taken tangible steps towards knocking on the doors? If so how has that changed your life?
Side Note: This post is about the direction of your life not if I’m questioning faith in Jesus Christ. For those of you who have not yet made a decision to follow Jesus that is a big “What If” question that, in my opinion, should be pondered as well.
