God gave me the go to ahead to dream again. Not that He ever stopped. I did.
I started seeing things again. I envisioned so many things I\’m going to do. Things we\’re going to see. I thought of things that I can\’t even believe. Dreams that low key… no, high key scared me.
I heard Kelly Rowland say on Sarah Jakes Roberts Woman Evolve podcast that \”If your dreams don\’t scare you, they aren\’t big enough.\” and while many of us have heard that quote before, something about it today just hit different for me.
I\’ve been afraid to dream.
For as long as I can remember, I’ve always been a girl who dreams. But in this season with the Lord, navigating transition, rebuilding, surviving — I stopped dreaming. I stopped hoping. I stopped planning for the life I desire. Survival mode took over, and all I could think about was what I was trying to survive.
Like, who has time to dream when the rent still isn\’t paid? Right? Wrong.
Today old dreams came back to mind & new dreams showed up too. I saw them, and while too stunned speak – I spoke. I started speaking out loud the things I\’m going to accomplish, and partake in, & enjoy. The things that I want my children to see and experience. The things that get me excited when I speak of them.
I spoke over our Quality of Life.
I reminded myself of everything I can do when I\’m doing it with the Lord. Things that I was talking myself out of because of fear. Things I kept saying I wasn\’t qualified to do. Things insecurity told me I couldn\’t step into
But everything I envisioned today was the opposite of all that.
I remembered who I am in God’s eyes.
I remembered that the Holy Spirit dwells in me
I remembered that I can do all things He calls me to do.
I remembered what He and I have already done together.
I feel like the vision for my life is coming back. Whew! Like, I couldn\’t see it clearly for a minute. But it\’s coming back. God brought it back to me.
And that vision is going to help me stay in the race. I\’m holding on to these dreams. I HAVE to experience what the Lord has shown me, because HE IS NOT A LIAR.
Get excited! Have joy about the things the Lord has placed on your heart. When we\’re in relationship with Him, He gives us our desires. Literally, as in, He places upon us the thoughts we have toward the things we want.
Psalm 37:4 – Take delight in the Lord, and He will give you your hearts desires.
Your dreams and aren\’t random and your aspirations aren\’t accidental.
Gods hand is all in that.
So, my prayer for you today is that you dream again. Reflect on how far you\’ve come and get excited about where you\’re going. And if you don\’t know what your dreams are anymore (I surely didn\’t) ask Him what HE has planned for you. Ask Him to reveal His desires for you. (Yes, you can do that.) He will surely show you…
…because He showed me.
