Dreams,
When you hear the phrase dream bigger, does it take you a long time to think up BIGGER or does your mind jump right to it?
For me, it takes a little bit of time for me to actually dream BIGGER.
Around the beginning of the month of March, I began to ask the Lord what was in store for the April Fire & Fragrance DTS that I would be staffing for the first time. I had NO idea what I would be getting myself into, so on my face I went. As I spent time with him, I began to hear a whisper in my heart..... this is the season for dreams! I want to breathe fire on dormant dreams inside of people's hearts AND I want to birth NEW dreams!
I thought, okay that sounds cool and I would love for this to be the season of dreams. Espeically because there are a lot inside of me that I have allowed to grow dim. And dreaming with God is a favorite of mine, so to only imagine the MORE, just blew my mind and set my heart up for a GREAT challenge with him.
Joyfully and thankfully, I have found out that, this really IS the season for dreams! And it is one of the most humbling, heart surrendering times of my life. Apart from staffing a DTS, God's plans for my life have never felt so accessible, touchable tangible and POSSIBLE. I feel that I could honestly do anything that aligns with God's will and his perfect timing, that there are no limits for my life. Which I believe is true and biblical. The word states at least once that "nothing is impossible with God" ( Luke 1:37)
For me to put limitations and boxes around God and his dreams for me, would be complete foolishness on my part. But that is where you come into play. Confession : I am human. I make mistakes and I cripple under fear at times, but am walking into deeper freedom in that area. I need the body of Christ. I need people to pray for me and to remind who I am in God's eyes. We all fall short of the glory of God ( Romans 3: 23 ) including me.
If you would kindly consider lifting me up, when I come across your heart, that would be so wonderful!
I cherish those who are close to my heart and have been lights to me and pointed me closer to God. Thank you for all of your wisdom and love you have imparted to my life.
May our God of heaven, release his blessing and divine favor on you in a greater way!
