Ever had a dream?

Have you ever had a dream? Now I don't mean those visions you get when you're sleeping, but a goal that you wanted to achieve. I know I did but after a while of not achieving that dream I stopped pursuing it. It's kinda sad to think that I just gave up. What's even sadder is that millions of people have done the same thing, given up on their dream. In Todd Wilson's book "Dream Big But Beware of Dream Killers" he says this, "...time has plenty of trophies on its shelf in the form of millions of men and woman in whom God placed a dream deep in their hearts but for one reason or another failed to step out in faith and achieve those dreams."

Now to me that's just terrible. We should all have dreams and pursue them with all our hearts! As the wise philosopher Cinderella once said, "A dream is a wish you heart makes." So why shouldn't we follow our hearts!? God has placed a dream there for a reason. In the same book Wilson writes,
 "The Bible is filled with dreamers who, against all odds and common sense, believed God and did something worth recording. In fact, their stories were recorded for us and serve as a reminder, not of great men, but of normal men and women who were used by a great God to do great things."
The part where he says "against all odds" is what really sticks out to me. Right now i'm happy that i'm able to do what I love. I guess my worries some from the fact that this chapter of my ife is closing and I wonder, How am I going to fulfill my dream in the new chapter of my life? I don't know the answer to that question yet but I'm going to have faith that whatever happens it happens for a reason, to fulfill God's ultimate plan for my life.

I guess what i'm trying to say is DON'T GIVE UP! Seek God and he will direct your path. Have faith and he will guide you. And in everything you do give the glory to God!

"Commit to the Lord whatever you do and your plans will succeed." ~Proverbs 16:3 NIV
