Daring to Dream

Daring to Dream

So, this past weekend I was at our TN District Girls Getaway Retreat that was absolutely amazing. I had a beautiful opportunity to lead worship at this event but even beyond that, the way the Lord flowed in the services and what the Speakers spoke on was beyond amazing. Absolutely brilliant and truly life changing!!

The major thing that we were challenged on was Daring to Dream. A topic that is incredibly dear to my heart as I have dreams within me that have yet to come true. Oh the joys of the wait…..and more waiting…and more waiting…..lol!!! I’ve turned grey through the years just in the wait but I promise you – there are no complaints from me!! I want to get into my Promised Land!! FYI – you will see not proof of grey hairs thanks to a GREAT hairdresser!!!

Debbie Lindell, Pastor’s Wife of James River in Springfield, MO (they only run 14,000 people…lol!!) was the main speaker so the points that I’m about to share, I can take no credit for but I just had to pass them onto you so you can be inspired as much as I was….here we go…gotta keep this a lil’ short so you don’t feel like you are reading chapters…

Read I Cor. 2:9-10

When You Dare to Dream you have to prepare yourself for what God wants to do in your life –

1. You have to have your heart set on Godly things. Colossians 3:2 Change is required – it’s like a near death experience. It means you must desire to be more than ordinary but extraordinary.
2. You must be faithful in the little things. Philippians 4. This means that we must keep our eyes on God and not on the mountain top where our dream lies. That can be a toughie!! But soooo worth it!
3. Be prepared to Lead. It takes leadership to walk out your dream.
4. Be Confident that God can use you! I Timothy 4:11-16. No matter what your age – it’s NEVER too late for dreams to become a reality.
5. Be a Godly example through the entire journey. I Corinthians 11:1
6. Stay Devoted to God’s Word.
7. Commit yourself to Serve

Last but sooo not least – many times we wonder and ask ourselves, “What is my dream?” Your dream is attached to your gifts so what are your gifts? What do you do better than anyone else? In that gift, fly higher than you ever have before and DARE TO DREAM because no dream is too big for God.

Soaring Forward…..
