Are you familiar with the Disney Movie Tangled? … My youngest girls and I can watch it over and over. The singing, the dancing, the crazy hair we love it. Recently, at the ICC IGNITE mid-winter Leadership Retreat a bunch of clever ladies did a fun spoof using the song I’ve got a dream. If you can’t make fun of yourself who can you make fun of??
Another touchpoint with dreams was listening to a TED talk by Diana Nyad about her extreme dream… As a swimmer , in the 70’s, I well remember this woman’s feat of swimming the English Channel and other ultralong and rigorous swims. In her 60s’ this past year, she set out to swim from Cuba to Florida. She talks and lives out having an extreme dream.
So that is the purpose of this post… to share a dream and a challenge to live it.
I have an extreme dream and it is really something larger than I thought possible…. that teaching and training students to live and speak for Jesus can really not just change themselves but really change the world…. and it has been changing me these past several years.
Some of the lyrics to my favorite tune are:
Like all you lovely folks I’ve got a dream
She’s got a dream
He’s got a dream
They’ve got a dream
We’ve got a dream
So our differences ain’t really that extreme
We’re one big team.
To all those that serve ICC with me–Thanks for being part of the dream team. To those that desire to train the next generation to influence culture for Christ…. come join us.
I have a dream…
Mary
