Many of us are afraid to dream, afraid to step out of the shadows and ask the question “What if?”

What if I was more obedient and followed God closer?

Don Miller wrote a powerful post on the question What if. I encourage you to read it, but not just the article but the comments also.  It will touch you deeply.

Then a few days ago Don Miller issued a challenge : write down five “what if” questions.

“Several years ago, I asked the question What if the 360,000 churches in America could each have a mentoring program and out of that question came one of the most exciting adventures in my life, The Mentoring Project. Bill Hybles once asked What if there were a church in this field? Rick Warren asked What if we could bring peace to the continent of Africa? Out of these questions came stories that have positively affected millions.” -Don Miller

What if we begin asking the question, “what if.”

What if I stopped being fearful every time God places a new challenge in front of me?

What if I released this anxiety and replaced it with total faith in God?

What if I stepped out of my comfort zone?

What if I loved deeply and allowed myself to become vulnerable with others?

What if I wrote more?

How about you, what would your five “what if’s” be?

As Don says, “The truth is, God gives you wisdom and direction and morality and His presence and support, and then asks you to live, to conquer, to risk and experience the whole of life. People grow when they are in motion.”

So

What if….
