It’s been over a year since I had the privilege of being on Holley Gerth’s God-sized Dream Team, where I met a group of wonderful dreamers. Many
became friends and their big dreams inspire me to dream.
But, I have to confess…sometimes I still struggle with what
my dreams are. I should know, right? But, I don’t.
What I thought were big dreams, God told me to lay down. So,
I have…or at least I think I have. Sometimes I just feel lazy for not giving
them much thought anymore.
But lately there’s a thought taking hold inside of me…a seed
of understanding that’s beginning to take root…
Perhaps living my life in a God-pleasing way is, in
and of itself, a God-sized dream. (<==Tweet this.)
Maybe that sounds too ordinary, and not like a big dream at
all. But think about it…Everyday life. Is. Hard. And some most days, I
don’t do such a great job of living the way I know God wants me too.
Last year, I described a God-sized dream as a dream God plants in our hearts…one
that seems impossible—and would be…if it were left up to us to fulfill.
Over the years as my faith has grown, so has my desire to
live a life that pleases Him. But, let’s face it. That is a daunting challenge.
Wonderful as always, dear friend. Thanks for this important reminder (esp about releasing dreams when He says let go. SO HARD.)
