*sighs* okay, i gotta confess…i have a SERIOUS blogging problem =P
*shrugs* what can i say? God blessed me with the gift of writing so i LOVE to write…
i was thinking about this number, 1 billion. now, you've got to understand that each Bible costs $4. 1 billion Bibles X $4 per Bible comes out to… $4,000,000,000. That's…well jeez, no matter how you look at it, that's a pretty massive number. now i've got another brother, he's a little younger than me. this is the conversation we just had…
me: hey, do you think 1 billion is a big number?
him: compared to what?
**side note: my brother's really smart so sometimes i just wanna whack him… =)**
me: *after thinking for a moment and letting him know that he's a dork* compared to God…
him: no. (NO hesitation whatsoever…)
~~~after a moment of silence he turns from watching the tv~~~him: *laughing* well compared to you, it's really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really big…
but honestly, it's how fast he said "no" when i asked him if it was a big number compared to God that really strikes me…
to God, 1 billion is a really small number. (my brother chose to say "really" nine times cuz "there's 9 zeroes in a billion")…so i've decided to think like God and 1 billion is a small number to me now. unreachable without God, yeh…but it's still a small number. it's reachable, it's totally reachable with God's help.
of course…there's the details to still work out…like…how do we channel 4 billion dollars to Open Doors….but hey…
big dreams come with a lot of planning… =)
