Hey, it's Terry, your cheerleader of dreams.

You know, I remember hearing a story

about the Hillsong Worship team, back when they first

got started recording music.

They had practiced and practiced, rehearsed their songs,

and were ready to record their first album ever. Well, the very week that they were set

to record, the music director quit. Well, not only did he leave, but he took all the music with him.

Can you imagine? Well, apparently, there was one young woman on the team who was also the church

secretary, and she sort of piped up and said, well, I have a song. That woman was

Darlene Czech and that song was Shout to the Lord. That song has gone around the world, sung in

churches across the globe, not to mention, pretty much everybody's heard of Hillsong music.

What am I saying today?

Are you prepared when your opportunity comes?

Are you getting ready for what you truly want?

Or are you just waiting for all the conditions

to be perfect before you ever start getting ready?

You know, Coach John Wooden said this,

when opportunity comes, it's too late to prepare.

What does that mean?

You need to get ready, get things in order, prepare now,

so that when God brings you an opportunity, you can seize it.

You know, years ago, the Lord said this to me in prayer.
