Aim for the MOON

Life isn't about just being......it is about being what God wants you to be. We may fall and stumble and make mistakes, but as Christians we trust that God is always with us. I just read the story of Peter and Jesus when Jesus walked on the lake. The people thought Jesus was a ghost and couldn't believe their eyes. Jesus said "Take courage! It is I. Don't be afraid" (Matthew 14:27) Peter knew it was him and wanted to go to him, so Jesus told him to come and Peter walked to him. When the wind came Peter became frightened and began to sink. Peter called out to Jesus to save him, Jesus caught and saved him. "You of little faith," he said, "why did you doubt?" (Matthew 14:31). This story is important for us going through life. No matter what we are going through or where we are headed, Christ is always with us. We are going to fall and we are going to stumble, but Christ is always there to pick us up and put us back on our feet. We don't need to be afraid. We can choose to live an average life or we can choose to aim for the moon and live a life full of God's blessings. Don't let other people influence you or keep you from your dreams. Do God's will for you and be the best you can be, he won't let you sink.
