During our family retreat, I took Grace to the river front area. Her little hand in mine. She was talking up a storm and pointing to everything and asking broken English questions (she is two!). I asked her if she wanted to get higher…YES! So I held her on my side hip. She said…HIGHER! So I held her to my chest. HIGHER! So then I put her on my shoulders. HIGHER! I looked up and it was a tree branch. She wanted to touch the tree branch. I stretched out on my tippy toes and she stretched out using my head for leverage. YES!!!!! That’s the yell I heard when she touched the branch. She immediately started clapping.

Two questions to this blog:

Question #1: What are you reaching for? Are you asking you Daddy (being God) for help? Are you stretching as far as you can? Are leaning on Him for support?

Question #2: Who are you helping to reach their goals? Is there someone in your circle that is struggling and reaching for your help? Are you all-in to help them succeed?

If you answer YES to both questions, then you are on the right track. If you answered yes to question #1 but no to question #2, then you might need to change your focus off of yourself. If you answered YES to number #2 but no to #1, then maybe you need to see what your next dream should be.

May we all stretch for the next tree branch and help others grab theirs too!
