MY GOD-SIZED DREAM....

When you tell God you’ll do something, do it—now.
God takes no pleasure in foolish gabble. Vow it, then do it.
Far better not to vow in the first place than to vow and not pay up.
Ecclesiastes 5:5The Message
 
When I was a little girl, I dreamed about being a Airline Stewardess.  That was something I thought would be the coolest job on the planet. Yet in one minute that dream vanished because someone told me that I could not be a stewardess because I was fat.  The balloon was popped and never to blow up again and become a reality.  Looking back now that I am in the early 50's I have begun to see how those words as well as other words formed an image of me that I was not.  It was how others perceived me but in reality I was fed lies and I believed them and a new image of ME was formed.  How many of us believe a LIE and we took a different road that was less traveled. 

Each one of us have hopes and dreams and dreams that God has designed us to have. Often our fears get in the way of our God-Sized dreams because we do not think we are capable, have enough resources and often feel we are not worthy to do what God is calling us to do.  I can't explain it but often times what he is asking us will bring such peace, joy and love like we have never loved before.

My dream at the ripe old age of 13 was dashed from me, but that wasn't the first nor will it be the last time that happens.  Nor will it be for my children, my church friends, my family.  Thankfully, I now  have better tools and confidence to combat those feelings of giving up when those feeling try to buckle me down.  Believe me it is not easy at times but I know God has a bigger picture in mind for me that he slowly reveals to be as I am ready to listen. 

Each of us have hopes and dreams and need to LET-GO of the fear and embark on that journey that will become part of our DNA, the passion we have will exceed anything we could ever have hoped or imagined and we will see God in it. 

Write your God-Sized dream down on the Facebook page that I created to help you find YOUR God-Sized Dream and with the prayers of the faithful, God things are bound to happen.

  1. Love your ideas and thoughts. We often get bogged down in the words of others instead of listening to God.
