Reality Crisis: I’ve Wasted So Much Time

Posted by Daniel on Nov 1, 2011 in Prophetic Topics | 0 comments

I just did the math. When I was a new Christian at age 19, I went through the Shady Grove School of Discipleship. Bill Leckie, who led the school (SOD), is 16 years older than me.

That means at 35 years old, Bill was changing and shaping lives. He was only one year older than I am today!

A little part of me just shriveled up and cried inside. He had been my high school teacher and basketball coach just a few years earlier. He was influencing hundreds of teenagers and engaging in something I consider really important. At the age of 35.

Meltdown. Crisis. Sputter. Gag.

There are these mental hurdles we create for ourselves. Excuses for why we haven’t taken risks. For why we’re not living the dream. Not old enough. Not mature enough. Not financially stable enough.

And then you wake up one day and realize that a decade passed you by when you weren’t living like a responsible adult pursuing his/her passion. And you cringe. And you want to cry.

And you wonder if there’s hope left for you. For your future. To not be a total flop. To make a difference. To fulfill your mision on this earth.

And I’m here to tell you that there is hope. There ARE consequences, and nothing will take that away. But there is always hope. Always room to be original. To be powerful in purpose. To change lives.
