Good morning, world. Things are looking pretty good from the front porch of my farm in Virginia today. I met with the Living God long before the break of this new day, and He graciously taught me a lesson or two that I’ve been needing to learn…but didn’t know it. Sometimes I approach Him looking for answers, but most of the time I approach Him just looking for Him. I know that the closer I draw to Him; the closer He’ll draw to me, and if I keep drawing closer to Him; I’ll have ever answer I ever need eventually. He’s my Father and I’m His Child. He wants to teach me, and grow me, and mold me, and guide me, and to build me into the woman He Planned for me to be even before the Foundations of the earth. Isn’t that the way you view your Journey too?
There’s no doubt that People of Faith have a Big Calling, but if we practice what we “preach” we have big dreams too. We Believe big and pray big and dream big and we Live Big because we understand how Big our God is, and we know how important we are to Him. We no longer live in our past, but we look forward to our Future with hope and anticipation no matter how old we are. We don’t beat ourselves up over mistakes we’ve made along the way, because we understand that they served a Bigger Purpose and we know that our wrongs are Forgiven the moment we ask for them to be. We never stop dreaming no matter what the world things about it because we KNOW that God wants us to Dream Big, and we know that when we pray; we’re supposed to actually Believe that He has a Plan for our Lives that defies all logic. When you look at the Journey that way, who would EVER stop dreaming if you truly understand how Important you are to the Great “I am”? Not me!
We know how Powerful the Hand of God is and we Believe that ALL things are possible with Him. We keep reaching for the stars because we are confident that He wants Good things for us. We don’t accept the difficult times based on an outward perspective like the world does. Instead we search within ourselves to see what Lessons there might be in the middle of our mess, and we Celebrate Victory long before we see it. We are confident that God will ALWAYS use our circumstances to bring Himself glory…if we let Him. We give Him credit for every ounce of our Lives and we fearlessly ask Him for more. We understand that He uses broken people and desperate situations to bring forth some of the most amazing things in His Name, and we remain confident that He will use us and our circumstances to bring Himself Glory too. We’re not afraid of things like “old age”, or lack of time or money and our Journey doesn’t always make sense to the world because of it.
“Big dreamer”?…you better believe I am! I KNOW that God has no Limitations whatsoever, so I Believe big, pray big, dream big and Live Big because of Him.
How about you?
