dreaming...

Happy Wednesday to all of you, hope this week has been wonderful for you. Today I thought I would share about one of my favorite things I like to do. Dream. Now I don't mean sleeping (which is another one of my favorite activities), but I am talking about dreaming about my goals, ambitions, and everything I aspire to be or do in life. This might sound super childish but I always loved the question: "What do you want to be when you grow up?" It was always so much fun to dream about all the possibilities out there. If you know me, you may know my story and how I was called into the ministry at the age of thirteen. I, at first, thought that that was the end, I knew what I was going to do when I grew up: be a minister. I soon found that my assumption was wrong, I couldn't box-in my calling into one category or title, and it certainly was not limited to the time frame of "when I grow up". My calling had to start now. I think the coolest part of saying "yes" to Jesus and to His calling is that He only reveals His plan a little at a time. Yes, the mission is the same, but the journey will never be boring or without room to dream.

The Lord has revealed the next part of my journey and that is to finish my education by getting a degree in International Studies. God has been so cool in how He has shown me the direction He wanted me to go. He literally closed doors to paths that would have left me compromising and confused, and gave peace to the one that seemed more complicated and difficult. The Lord gave me this verse as I battled with finding direction and the "next step" in life: "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; ⁷ and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:6-7 


Here are somethings I have really been "dreaming" about this week:

• finishing school fast ;)
• future home for our family: I have decided that I want a chalkboard wall in our future kitchen
• babies... nuff said (if you are a newly wedded woman, you know the feeling)

What are some things you dream about? Is it something you aspire to be or do? Message me with your answers!
