Beyond is going farther than. Breaking free of the comfy little bubble or box that is all I know and hold dear. Beyond means more than just thinking outside the box.
Thinking is easy.
It’s the doing that’s challenging. Uneasy. Eerie.
Beyond means allowing myself to dream. I stopped dreaming at one point. Not the dreams that happen while I sleep–those never stop. Any ideas, goals, wild fantasies for my future? Those stopped. I figured that if there was no logical way or finances for me to accomplish them, then what’s the point? Instead I dreamed in reachable increments.
That’s not really dreaming. That’s certainly not going beyond. It’s not even coming close to any limits.
Beyond means to stretch further. To aim higher. To keep persevering. It means not quitting when I start to warm up. I need to buckle down, grit my teeth and keep going. Let’s aim at breaking a sweat.
Beyond means me opening my hands, and letting go of myself. I have limits. I set limits.
I need to trust in Someone outside of myself.
God’s ways are mind-blowing. They are beyond me, beyond my imagination. He will take me farther & higher than I’d like to go.
