Does it matter what Snowman wanted? An old, spent workhorse. As God looks upon his creations I do believe that he is mindful of what a horse wants, a field mouse a sparrow. Despite what Snowmans master of the day believed about him, Snowman wanted to jump.
It matters to God what I want. I am his Son.
Ollie wants Hogwarts Castle. A $129 lego set. I want him to have it. When he talks about it there's a voice inside me that says "Bring it home and surprise him." I can see in my minds eye the whole situation unfold. "I've got a surprise for you" I can see the instantaneous shift of all his attention those words cause in all children (ok, in all people). I can see the anticipation in his eyes. I can hear the pure joy and the uncontrollable bursting of energy that would bounce his whole being around the room. I can see the gratitude and pure appreciation as he held the box in his possession and drank deep with his eyes on his dream fulfilled.
But.
It wouldn't be right.
Passion to be a mighty river instead of a flash flood.
As his Father I have to help him learn how to bring things he wants into his life.
What do I want? (Include Joe Stumpf interview. I don't think I asked you what you're afraid of, I asked you what you wanted)
What do you want?
