~95 year old people were asked if they could re-due one thing in their life, what would it be? and they all came back and said that they would have taken more risks.
~if you want to see success in your life, then you are going to have to take risks
~ be happy that you at least gave it go and tried!
~the path that leads to destruction seems like the easy way; the more comfortable path that everyone is taking
~In Genesis 12 God was calling Moses to leave everything and follow him
~ obedience is better than sacrifice and regret
~ When God leads us, sometimes it doesn't make any sense...but it is impossible to serve God without some faith
~ God has an epic journey for you
~ God has such good promises for your life, that people would start to laugh, but God always gets the last laugh
~ I want to have a dream that is not just hard, but it near to impossible so that when I accomplish it, it must have been God.
~ If it doesn't scare you then it's not big enough
~You need to have a dream that is so hard you have to run to God.
~I want to run to the scary things. I want to be courageous. I will keep fighting through it and face it.
~ I don't want to waste my life doing thing's that are easy. I want to take a risk. dare to be different.
~ learn to fail forward. If you’re not failing, then you’re not succeeding.
~ Use your failures be the fuel for your future. Use the failures as fuel to drive forward and succeed.
~ The righteous man falls 7 times, but he gets back up.
~You need to live as if God bought you. He is satisfied. No refunds or exchanges. Allow God to use you.
That short weekend, I learned a lot. My life was changed and I was inspired to take these notes into action in my own life. At the beginning of this sermon I quickly realized that there was a purpose why I was there that weekend, and there was a reason why everything worked out with my mom driving me down Friday night, after my soccer game, as she head off to TO for her meetings scheduled that Saturday. That sermon was made for me to hear.
This sermon reinforced my blog posts on me in a whole new perspective. Living my life regretful - not being those 95 year old people who looked back on their life and wished they took more risks; using my failures as learning experiences to become successful, running to things that scare me - allowing me to lean on God for help, being courageous, and dreaming dreams that are hard enabling me to turn to God is all a part of my plan.
"Hi, I'm Amy Bennett. I am known as a risk-taker, big dreamer, courageous, and sometimes a failure, but succeeding. Welcome to my life - regretful, successful, and accomplishment with my coach (make that a capital C), bigger than any situation, guiding me."
just as 'Oh Canada' is the anthem for our country, this sermon/ life lesson is the anthem for my life that i gladly get to live every day.
