In my morning reading, I stumbled across this blog post from the Origins Project, written by Erwin McManus. It's entitled "Living Wide Awake", and as always, I found many pieces of amazing food for thought here. The one quote that really caught my eye, and heart, is this:
"Can the Church become the greatest humanitarian movement on the planet? Can we become the epicenter of human creativity, innovation and compassion? Can we create humanity’s next great culture? We think to ask what kind of church we should become is not only the wrong question, it is boring. We should be asking… what kind of future do we want to create?"

This is a question that I find myself leaning into more-and-more as I stretch towards the next step in my journey with God. I had never seen it put so eloquently however. This concept goes far beyond the church, it goes to the very core of all of our directives and invites an intentionality about shaping our own stories. Whether we are focusing on our spiritual life, our relationships, our companies or our existence, we have the ability and gift to choose our futures. Sure, there will be wrong turns, and speed bumps, but that is the beauty of the journey.
