Thinking Days

I love to have thinking days. I used to feel guilty if part of a "work" day was spent dreaming up new outreaches, object lessons or plans for the future. I thought maybe I should think on my own time. That sounds kinda funny but I didn't want to be waisting the churches time. I have had a change in philosophy, though. I don't get to do it as often as I'd like but about once a month, I have at least part of a day I call my thinking day.

I have learned over the years that successful churches, pastors, and leaders are big thinkers. They dream about what most would deem impossible. They set their goals to be what others would scorn as lofty. I know that Donald Trump is not a pastor, I don't even know if he is a Christ follower, but Donald trump is a big thinker and I bet anything he has thinking days like me! He is a very successful business man. I know I'm not in "business" but I need to be a bit more earthly minded to keep myself stretched and growing in my creativity like some of the business people of the world.

Do you have thinking days? Maybe not about ministry but about family, career, relationships or a bucket list. I try to remember what the scripture in James 4: 2 says, "You do not have, because you do not ask God." I think and dream and then I ask. Try it!

I, too, love to have days when I can just sit around and think—daydreaming is one of my favorite pastimes, after all. In fact, I'm going to set aside some time tomorrow afternoon to just THINK and dream. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your thoughts about this—you've given me a lot to think about.
