Hi there, I am David Lowry.
I attended a seminar in 2006 on Christian Entrepreneurism and walked away with two principles that made me think.
The first is that "life begins at the edge of your comfort zone". I was convicted by this because I have lived most of my life smack dab in the middle of mine. I can remember times when I got close to the edge of it but very seldom stayed there. It might have been that I got comfortable enough close to the edge that my comfort zone expanded but I have not ever experienced pushing the limits of mine consistently.
The second is "money flows to integrity with a purpose". I agreed with this one immediately because I have seen huge sums of money show up for projects when communicated to the hearts of people.
This one also made me think because I have been working on the integrity thing for around 30 years but there has never been a purpose that was larger than what I could accomplish that had called out to me.
After the seminar, I started praying that God would show me a purpose that was bigger than anything I could accomplish without His help. Within a week, it was if he called me up on the phone and said "David, you need to build a retirement community for Americans in Honduras".
