DREAMS

Snippet
This is what separates artists from ordinary people: the belief, 
deep in our hearts, that if we build our castles well enough, 
somehow the ocean won't wash them away. I think this is a 
wonderful kind of person to be.” ― Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird: 
Some Instructions on Writing and Life
Scripture
‘In the last days,’ God says,

    ‘I will pour out my Spirit upon all people.

Your sons and daughters will prophesy.

    Your young men will see visions,

    and your old men will dream dreams.

In those days I will pour out my Spirit

    even on my servants—men and women alike—
    
and they will prophesy.

And I will cause wonders in the heavens above

    and signs on the earth below—

    blood and fire and clouds of smoke.

The sun will become dark,

    and the moon will turn blood red

    before that great and glorious day of the Lord arrives.

But everyone who calls on the name of the Lord

    will be saved.’  Acts 2:17-21 NLT

We've all heard people talking about all 

the things that they regret

And what they would change to do it again

We know our story's just starting, so much is unwritten

We're gonna go right when the world goes left

Cause we don't wanna waste even one of these days

We're gonna save ourselves the heartache

We're not looking back on what we wish we'd done

We're gonna risk it all for one thing

And we're jesus while we're young, while we're young

There's gonna be some up times, there's gonna be 

some real steep climbs

So its here and now that we decide if we're gonna be 

ready for the days when life hits Hits hard

We're gonna know for sure now who we are

Cause we don't wanna waste even one of these days

We're gonna save ourselves the heartache

We're not looking back on what we wish we'd done

We're gonna risk it all for one thing

And live for Jesus while we're young, while we're young

We know who we are, a chosen generation

We know who we are, this our declaration

Cause we don't wanna waste even one of these days

We're gonna save ourselves the heartache

We're not looking back on what we wish we'd done

We're gonna risk it all for one thing

And live for Jesus while we're young

We're gonna save ourself he heartache

We're not looking back on what we wish we'd done

We're gonna risk it all for one thing

And live for Jesus while we're young, while we're young

Sentence Prayer

Lord, give us the imagination to dream and catch glimpses of the 
life you intend for us to live.  Show us how our individual lives are 
entwined with those around us, and help us to live so truly 
together that we embody your good news in this world.  

Amen (Common Prayer a Liturgy for Ordinary Radicals 2010 Zondervan pg 430)
