Over the years I have encouraged several people who wanted to go out on their own into a business venture.  Two of them really stand out to me because I feel I played a major role in their decisions to quit safe and secure long time employment to chase a dream.

Both of them did well in business and there was a marked change in their life attitudes as well.  Both felt good about themselves, and they both were much happier people, and both of them gained a confidence that was refreshing.  I never said anything but I always felt proud  of both of them for daring to do what most others are afraid to do.

I am reminded of these two people as I finish reading Mark Batterson’s book, In A Pit With A Lion On A Snowy Day.

If you haven’t already, you ought to pick this book up and read it.  Batterson encourages any and all to step out in faith, take some God sized risks, and allow God free reign in our life.

Peace

Jim
