You’ve been dreaming. You’ve been praying. You’ve been
planning and following God’s lead. And finally, after the wait and the work,
you experience your God-sized dream.
Now what?
It’s not a let-down, per se. It’s just that the dream has
been your focus for quite a while, and now that you’ve been fortunate enough to
experience it, there’s a bit of a void. Maybe you even feel a little lost and
not sure what to do next. I get it—I know the feeling.
When we’ve worked toward one focus for a period of time,
that’s what we’ve grown used to. It’s the goal we’ve been looking forward to—the
God-sized dream that God may or may not bring to pass. When we don’t experience
it, it’s still out there in the “maybe someday” category. When we do experience
it, we relish in the awesome experience. And then…the question…what’s next?
This is where I’d love to tell you I have the answer, but I
don’t. In fact, I’m right there with you in wondering what’s next? But what I can share are three thoughts I’m keeping in
front of me.
I'm happy to be sharing at God-sized Dreams today. I hope you'll join me there to continue reading After the Dream!
In Christ,
Laura

DeleteTimely post for me Laura! I have a dream and it's still present in my thoughts and heart. I've decided to surrender it to God's will and while it hurts that it might not come to fruition, I know God's best trump any of my dreams!

I haven't reached my God-sized dream yet, but I have a feeling it's a year or two away. This is good for me to read until that time!! <3 Thanks for sharing.
