The Best Dream


Why is your dream worth pursuing, fighting for and seeing through no matter what happens? What a great question to get you to really evaluate the next step. It is funny that I was ready to just give up and let this blog “go away” and let the younger sister dreamers carry on. What could possibly be a God-sized dream for me? Two comments were given at just the right moment and just the perfect words that I needed to hear. I seem to be someone that needs a cheering section to tell me that I can do this and that God is not finished with me yet! So once I got my head on straight and started to think of this Dream thing in a new way not the finished goal {way to overwhelming} but the way that God leads me to the goal. {I know you are saying is she going to answer the question or just ramble?}

First I needed to see the dream, a dream, something that I wanted more than anything and then a dreamer sent a comment that said think of one word that would be my goal. Hmmm that seemed easy and the word was KNOW. More than anything on the planet I want to KNOW God. I want to know what He is like when I am joyful, know what he is like when I am frightened, know what he is like when I mess up, in all the situations of my life. To know what he means when he says I am His Beloved.

OK, now to start down that road of Knowing, This is so worth pursuing, it excites me to think of God so close I can hear Him whisper he loves me, always has since the beginning of time. How I want to know Him so much better! I want to read His love letters to me about what He and His Father have been doing. I want to know what he would do in this situation or how he would deal with that problem. I want to know how to please him with every breath I take.

How could you not want to fight to know the love of your life no matter what? I am going through a very difficult time right now and I am striving to see just how this KNOWing will lead me through. It has given me a whole new way to look at how He would deal with this, no watching how He IS dealing with this and how He still has His arms wrapped around me keeping me safe through it all. Oh yes, this is so worth fighting for, to Know!

  1. I love this post. To learn to 'know' God seems like such a simple thought but it is SO huge! Knowing and growing closer to Him is lifechanging. Huge prayers for you Maggie as you continue your dream :)

    A verse that came to mind while reading your post was Exodus 14:14 "The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still" (some versions say 'silent'). I just love that thought. That He waits until we stop trying to complete our version of best and then steps in to complete His version of best, which is so beyond anything we could imagine!

  2. I love your word: KNOW. You know what? Absolutely NO ONE or NOTHING can block that dream!! That really speaks to me that I might need to rethink my dream a little. Mine is more tangible (I want to go somewhere and do something....this can be blocked.) However, if I boil my dream down to the core, what is it? Thanks, for getting me to think!! Blessings to you!

  3. Knowing God! You said it so perfectly -- knowing Him when you are joyful and when you feel frightened. I understand. I have been there: I am there. Thank you for sharing your heart. Prayers are being said for you as I sit here. Much love to my sister-dreamer: we are never too old, or too sick, or too sad, or too anything to dream of knowing God, of trusting Him in everything.

Praying for you my sister dreamer..... that He, the Lord, will reveal something about Himself to you today that btings you to your feet to to honor and worship Him and then to your knees in awe and gratitude.

    1. Your prayers were answered today! As we were in Bible study God kept impressing on me to say a particular statement about Him. I finally complied and the young mother sitting next to me was near tears and exclaim that Yes there is hope in our world today. We serve an mighty God. Getting to know just how powerful He truly is that words can help another sister dreamer is so very exciting. Thank you for your precious words that brought tears to my eyes of such gratitude that there are others who are so loving and caring. Blessings on you.
