Just thought of this blog title

I just thought if this blog title and thought it would be cool. I was having lunch with a guy the other day and his wife asked me what I wanted to do with my life. I answered the question by passionately communicating my vision and he responded with "You are going to be one of those guys who comes up with crazy ideas that no one is going to think you can do and then you will probably end up actually doing them." (Paraphrased). I wasn't sure if I should take that as a compliment or as discouragement.

In my conversations with my wife this is probably a good assessment of me except for a lack of actually doing many of my ideas although I have done some of them (dallasdogwalking.com). Sometimes I feel like people don't understand me. That usually frustrates or discourages me. But after this guys comment I just might be finding freedom. Maybe this is who I am and maybe it is how God has wired me and shaped me over the years. I think I might be coming around to accepting this aspect of who I am, and as I grow in character and discipline and learning to hear and discern the voice of the Lord, then I might actually start to follow him to the places he is calling me to and has made me to go.
