Over the last 8 weeks we have been having the conversation called 'awaken', discovering what it means to live through our dreams. Today I was overwhelmed as we created space for people to take their first step by writing their dreams on a post it and sticking on a whiteboard. My fear was would anyone make the the long walk to the front and place their dream on that board?

With Snow Patrol asking the question "tell me have you opened your eyes" we began the journey as a community of faith to unleash humanity. So many people posted their dreams on the whiteboard, so many varied dreams but the great part is that what happens personally is what will propel us corporately. The great part of journeying in our community called the Vineyard is seeing the finger print of God on each life. So like I said this morning "in the words of Will McLaughlin let the journey begin.

"Open Your Eyes"
All this feels strange and untrue
And I won't waste a minute without you
My bones ache, my skin feels cold
And I'm getting so tired and so old

The anger swells in my guts
And I won't feel these slices and cuts
I want so much to open your eyes
'Cause I need you to look into mine

Tell me that you'll open your eyes [x4]

Get up, get out, get away from these liars
'Cause they don't get your soul or your fire
Take my hand, knot your fingers through mine
And we'll walk from this dark room for the last time

Every minute from this minute now
We can do what we like anywhere
I want so much to open your eyes
'Cause I need you to look into mine

Tell me that you'll open your eyes [x8]

All this feels strange and untrue
And I won't waste a minute without you

Great stuff! I saw that Snow Patrol was playing on Saturday Night Live in two weeks and thought of you...
We do a lot of our great planning with post it notes. Great minds think alike...
