A lot has been going on behind the scenes lately in my life. God has been stirring my heart in several new ways and I think now is the time to share some of this stuff with you guys.
As you all already know, money is very tight these days. It’s tight all over and Fusion has certainly felt the impact of that reality. With all my heart, I want to be able to give more to Fusion so I’ve been thinking of ways that I might earn some extra cash. It’s not as easy as you might think because I need a second job, or jobs, that will be flexible enough to allow me to continue to fulfill all of my pastoral duties.
At the same time, I’ve also been feeling like the Lord has been stirring up my dreams. I’ve realized that I put almost every other dream I’ve ever had on hold while I’ve been working on the dream of Fusion Church. There’s nothing wrong with that. I knew the church would take all my attention when I started it years ago but now I feel like God has opened my eyes to other things He wants to do in and through me. It’s been a very strange and, at times, astonishing process to suddenly rediscover dreams that have been long buried within me.
As I said in this post, I’m not ditching one dream to pursue another and this isn’t about me leaving Fusion or anything like that. I’m called to Fusion and I absolutely love the people of Fusion! Rather it’s more about becoming everything God wants me to be. It’s not about subtracting anything. It’s about adding something new to my life. It’s about having more than one dream.
So, in the coming days and weeks, I’ll be announcing some new projects and new business ventures here on my blog. Some will be major undertakings. Others will be much smaller projects. I’ve decided to go for it though. I’m going to pursue a bunch of stuff that’s in my heart. I’m going to toss all these things “against the wall” and “see what sticks.” I figure the Lord will bless what He wants to bless and something is bound to start clicking at some point.
Stay tuned.
God is going to move mightily on your behalf…go for it!!
I’m inspired by this. I really don’t believe that God expects being a pastor or leading a church to totally consume every aspect of our lives. I am finally starting to realize this myself. Dream big!
Praying for guidance and resources for you!!
This is exciting and inspiring…especially if you are sure it’s God talking/stirring you. I have my far share of crazy/big dreams and it keeps life exciting. So follow follow follow where He leads….I know great things are in-store for you and all the people he is going to bless through your obedience! Go Tony, go!!!
