Dream BIG

Has God ever placed a dream in your heart?  One so clear that you can see all the specifics of it?  Maybe you've been dreaming about it for years and got comfy with the dreaming aspect of it...kind of like an "reality vacation."  And you decide it probably won't really ever happen so you allow yourself to dream really, really, REALLY big because it's "just a dream."

And then all of a sudden God says "it's time...Jump!"  At my age, that's a scary thing because I could possibly leave a trail (if you know what I mean!)  Mixed with the feelings of belly-filled butterflies and a combination of fear is not a good mixture but at that very point you have to make a choice to either to step out and trust that you're hearing the voice of God OR stay where you are.  In dream land.

I heard a speaker once say that graveyards are full of dreams that never became realities.

That brought tears to my eyes because I thought of all the reasons that they could of had to not walk out their true destiny and purpose while they were walking this planet.  I also did not want to be one of those statistics.

It's easy for us to see potential in other people.  But, God sees potential in you.

Wherever you are right now in your Dream, God has specifically chosen you to carry it.  He's allowed you to dream about it and while doing this, it has enlarged.  Sometimes it gets too large to stay a Dream, however.  Then, it's time to give birth to it.

I remember being pregnant and growing larger than a house.  Seriously.  At times I was so excited about this new life that was within me.  At other times scared to death.  But, God placed this special Dream inside of you.  You were chosen to carry it, grow with it and to breathe life into it.  While you're Dreaming, life has prepared you for it.  Maybe relationships have changed.  Appetites have changed.  But, it's all in preparation for your time.  For your season.

Jump.

Jump into realizing that this Dream in not just a dream.  Or a hope.  It's a reality.

Jump.

Jump in by surrounding yourself with people that will allow you to dream big with you and encourage you.  Speaking and declaring your dream will help you speak that this is now REAL.

Jump.

Jump into spending more time with the Creator of the Dream to fill you with wisdom and direction.  That HE will orchestrate every minute of every day and that He will reveal when it's time.

Jump.

Jump by saying "yes."  And, knowing that He will be with you every single step of the way.  There's a generation out there that needs you to step into your purpose.  Feeling prepared or unprepared.  Just by saying "yes" to God could be the first step to realizing your dream and moving forward.

What is your Dream?

Start writing it down.  What does it look like?  Who do you see there?  When you write them down it's like declaring it into existence (prophesying)  Habakkuk 2:2 - it's a form of saying "yes!"

Pray and start asking God to reveal steps (goals) for you to start.  They can be small (still scary), but set a deadline for each one.


Let your journey to your Dream begin.

Waking up from our sleep,
