Dream a Little Dream

Do you remember your dreams when you wake up in the morning?  I do.  When I was in my twenties, I kept a little notebook beside the bed.  I would write my dreams down in the morning.  Someone had gifted me a book about the meaning of dreams, so I wanted to keep track of what was happening in my dream world.

Like most new adventures I delve into, it didn’t last long.  I quickly tired of keeping a record.  I’m sad that I didn’t continue.  Will I start back?  Maybe.  But right now, I’m focused on the dreams that I have when I’m awake.

Do you currently have big dreams or goals for your life?  If you have big dreams, are you pursuing them?  Little dreams are comfortable and things that you know you can attain.  I’ll give you a personal example.  My little dream is to work out four times a week consistently.  That is possible and attainable.  I call it a dream, because although it’s possible, it seems like a big push for me. 

Big dreams seem impossible.  A big dream for me would be running a marathon.  When you compare the two, you can see how a marathon seems so far out of my reach.  (Let me be clear…marathon running is not in my dream life…LOL).

If your dreams don’t scare you, you’re not dreaming big enough.  More than once, I have personally said that I want to see God perform a miracle in my life.  I want Him to do something that leaves me speechless.  I want to be amazed.  And I have big dreams.  I dream of a life that is nowhere within my reach or grasp.  My arms are not long enough to even touch what I have dreamed in my mind.

Don’t be scared to dream big.  Little dreams are for people who don’t serve a God with ALL power.  They are for people who don’t know a God who wants them to receive exceedingly, abundantly, and above all they could ask and think.  Although I have big dreams, God can amaze me and take me places my imagination couldn’t even conceive. 

I’ll be transparent and tell you some of my big dreams.  You may already have these things, so they’re small potatoes to you.  However, they would transform my life.  I dream of operating in all the gifts that God has given me.  I dream of serving God on an international level.  I dream of having a loving and faithful husband.  I dream of having a kind, caring, God fearing and loving, compassionate, and present father.  Those are no small dreams.

I dream of businesses.  I dream of walking in my God given purpose.  I dream of a world where people look out for one another.  I dream.  I dream.  I dream.  Hopefully this stirs up the dreamer in you.  My prayer is that you do more than dream a little dream.  Dream until it scares you.  #wepreach
