My Rick and my mountains!

I know some amazing men and women from all ages and walks. Some are known - others not. Why do I find them amazing?  They are being who they were created to be. They took a risk. They climbed a mountain. They slew a giant. They paid a dear price. Above all, they trusted God. 

One person is leading a worldwide movement; one has the ear of government leaders around the world; one has changed the way we think about our prayer life; one has changed the way I think about health and my body; one has been transformed in thought and faith before my eyes; one has overcome and is faithfully forging ahead and not letting the past affect the future; some have written books; some are following dreams; others have invented business strategies or things that will improve life; still others have sacrificed all to serve with compassion people who don’t know yet who they are or Who they belong to.

These people are my heroes. If I were a scribe used by God to write a Bible for today’s times, many of them would be in it with all their stories of strife, mistakes, and victory. These average, humble individuals have paid the price for me to believe in my own dreams, and I pray the price I pay will open doors for those around me.

Our lives are but a breath on this earth. I want to live my years without regrets. I want to be brave. I choose to trust God, believing for every possibility and promise. I have been championed by greatness. Now I want to champion greatness in others.
