So what do you do when God says the monumental request you are asking Him for is not big enough? You freak out! You tell God that your request for your kids to meet Tim Tebow is gigantic and there couldn't be something bigger than that...and He quietly assures you that He already knows Tim Tebow and that arranging a meeting really is no big deal.
As I was praying for the letter I worte to Tebow, God impressed upon me that what I thought was an impossible task really wasn't much at all and there was more He could do for my kids than simply let them meet Tim Tebow. Trouble was, God wasn't revealing what this 'bigger' was. He did direct me to Ehphesians 3:20-21 which says basically that God can do more than we can think or ask. More than I can think...let me assure you I can think pretty big! I have a friend who has entered into this prayer with me and we have discussed what this 'bigger' could possibly be...I have thought perhaps my kids (and me and her!) will be invited to Denver at no cost to meet him...I have thought perhaps he'll travel here and spend time with my students and their youth groups...I have even thought that perhaps we'll be invited to a Broncos' game and meet him there...I said I could think big!!! What's even more incredible, and sometimes difficult to believe is that as big as these ideas are to me, God can think even bigger!!!
God has not chosen to reveal to me or my friend what this 'bigger' is, all I can do is fulfill my end of the promise to pray, believing, and to continue to ask for the 'bigger' and leave the thinking to Him.
