When I met my husband twelve years ago, he asked me if I ever dream? My first thought was “at night”, to which I answered “sometimes”. His next question was “what are your dreams in life?” I thought long and hard about that question and came to the realization that I didn’t really have many dreams…I was stuck and didn’t even know it.
As time when on, I knew God had birthed a dream in my heart, but I was continually coming up with excuses for myself like “You can’t do that because you have gone through a divorce” or “You are not useable in God’s eyes anymore”. These where complete and total lies from the enemy that for a period of time I bought into.
About seven years ago, God placed a dream on my heart to write a book. Let me be the first to tell you that I never thought I would be writing a book in my lifetime. Here’s the thing, when God places a dream in your heart I have found out that it is wise to obey as the dream will not just go away. It’s a complete and total faith walk. After about five years of coming up with different reasons why I shouldn’t, couldn’t or wouldn’t do it, I prayed about the dream in my heart. I knew I could move forward in faith when I literally heard the Holy Spirit speak to my heart telling me that I would not be the one doing it, it was all God and to let Him work through me.
To be honest I felt immediate relief knowing that God was going to give me what I needed to complete this book. I was just a vessel He was going to use and I wanted to be open. The journey I have been on these past couple of years has been incredible. I have had days where I could write all day and then there are those times of waiting…waiting on God as I seek Him on what He wants me to say.
I am so grateful for the encouragement of my family, friends and dream coach during this season of my life. They have truly pushed me closer to God as I am humbled at all God is doing. The world is God’s stage and I am just part of His plan. I dream about a lot of stuff now and I celebrate what God is doing in every season! So let me ask you “What dreams has God birthed in you?”.
