What do you want to be when you grow up....

Remember when you were a kid, people would ask you "what do you want to be when you grow up?" You'd hear all kinds of amazing answers, "fireman, school teacher, doctor...." Generally you heard things about what the position represented (a fireman was some we all respected) or how they positively affected others (school teachers change lives). They expressed a desire to "be" something....to make a difference in this world.

But as you get older, the question changes. Ever seen two grown men meet for the first time and ask "What do you want to be when you grow up?"... no the question they ask is "What do you do?" There is a foundational shift as we get older, the shift from "be" to "do".

Not sure when it takes places, but someone along the line it all changes. It's definitely not because we've arrived and have achieved the epitome of "being". I think the changes are subtle, but they are there. Overtime our mind shifts from what could "be" to what "is". With age most people migrate from making a difference to paying the mortgage.

So, here's my question to you: "What do you want to be when you grow up?" Why did your dreams die? Why are you settling for "doing"? God has called you to greatness and it has everything to do with who He has called you to "be" and very little with what you "do".
