After reading Holley's request for this week I wasn't sure I wanted to continue on this journey. I am a very private person when it comes to my needs or desires. I have spent most of my life trying to make others feel happy, needed, and content. It has been a challenge to try to figure out what they would like to do or where they would like to go or what they needed. Perhaps that is why I am having such a time trying to find MY (God's) God-sized dream.
After reading Jennifer's post I realized that God did send the disciples out 2 by 2 and yes I am sure they "compared notes" and backed each other up with difficult situations. I guess I never thought about it that way. So after much procrastination I contacted a friend I admire and consider a woman after God's own heart. I have learned a great deal spending time with her and she is one of the few people I have shared ME with.
I pray that together we can hear God whisper just what His God-sized dream is for me. This seems like such a huge step off the edge of a cliff. Perhaps this is the God-sized dream, Trust.
Good morning sister dreamer. I love your blog. Can't wait to read the next post.
ReplyDeleteI have had starts and stops as I have moved forward into the Lord's dream for me so Holly's challenge to us is definitely heaven-sent.
I'm so looking forward to walking with you through this journey.
As I come to grips with the number on my life calendar I am so grateful that our good God still has surprises and opportunities for me on this journey we walk together.
God bless you.
Judy as I read Holley's email today I am thankful for sister dreamers like you. Thank you so much for the encouragement.
DeleteThank you for sharing your story and admitting vulnerability with the prospect of asking for help. I resonate with that and also believe that God-Sized anything is a matter of TRUST. Trust can be very challenging for me because I've always thought the only person I can really rely on is myself! I know differently now.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day! Blessings on discovering your God-Sized Dream! It's there waiting for you.
Cathy, I know about Trust and how difficult it can be. I know trust in myself is always a let down as I can't always complete what I think I must. It is exciting just thinking about a God-sized dream waiting for me. Thanks you for the encouragement.
DeleteWoo-hoo for you being brave and hanging in there! Way to go, girl. :)
ReplyDeleteHolley not sure how brave but tenacious. I want God to show me He has a plan for me and some how in that plan I can bring glory to Him. Thanks for the help with the publishing and for the encouraging words. Todays email was awesome!
