When You Dream Big

When you dream big, big things can happen. You have to get past the fears, insecurities, denials, and what-ifs to transfer the dream to reality but it can happen.

Your dreams can lead you to your knees.

Your dreams can lead you to tears and heartache.

Your dreams can lead you to joy.

It is in my heart to encourage women in their faith and to take steps toward realizing that God has a plan for each of them that is not limited by our dreams, ideas, or limitations. And this morning I took a big step and told people that I wanted something done to support women that had a need. I worried for a moment that I was stepping on toes, going out of bounds, or asking the impossible.

And within an hour movement happened.

It would be easy to say that it was me and my phone call and almost relentless search for how can we do more. But I would be wrong.

I was given a dream and the desire and I obeyed. I believe that God heard these women calling out for help and he is answering.

Don't get caught up in thinking that your dream is too big or too impossible or too out of bounds. Dream and live your purpose.

One Minute Journaling Prompt for this Week

Do you remember tests where you had to write for one minute without stopping and it could not be only one word written over and over? I saw a post where someone wrote for one minute and I wanted to give it a try. This is the prompt for this week's One Minute Journaling:
What leaves me in awe today?

"I am in awe that a group of women, most that I have never met, would trust that I could lead them not only in prayer but in a book study. I am in awe of the fellowship, sharing, insight, and vulnerability that these precious ladies bring each week. I am in awe that God chose me to encourage and be a shoulder when I don't always feel worthy."

Honor Your Calling

the kids art that I then added to for this post...

We are all called to do something with our lives. For some, the call is brief and may be only the gift of a smile or kind word. For others, the call for our purpose is a heart ache that sucks the breath out of our lungs and leaves a flutter in our gut. We wake with the thoughts of our purpose and we go to sleep with the same thoughts.

What does your heart ache for?

You need to honor your calling. It is why we are here. You have a gift that has been given to you that will not look like the person next to you. Your purpose is part of you.

When you honor that call you feel the most alive.

When you honor that call others often recognize it in you and tell you so.

When you live your purpose you change your world.
