When I was a child and I got asked the question, "What is your dream?" I never knew the answer. My only dream was getting by day to day. Even has a child, I never really knew how to dream, part of it was my personality. The older I got the more I wanted to dream but never really let myself. I guess have always focused on the obstacles my life in that moment instead dreaming big dreams for myself.
It hasn't always been obstacles that have kept me from planning my future. Some times it was fear. Many times in my life I have been afraid of failing. Fear of starting something and not being "smart enough" or "good enough" to make my dream happen...
....and those are straight up lies.

The truth.
The truth is, I have had a dream already put together when I was in my Mother's tummy. My Heavenly Father has always had a plan and a purpose in my life (Jeremiah 29:11). I purposely given skills and strengths that are unique to fit me. The beauty of it is, He knows the desires of my heart, because He put them there! Another beauty, He has bigger dreams for me than I have for myself.
So what is my "God-Sized dream? That, I don't know. I do know, that I have to live with my heart wide open, toward God, to let Him place at gift in front of me. I learned TRUE humility is to bow you heart. How beautiful is that?
The not-so-beautiful thing? Fear. For so long I thought fear was a sin, but its not. Its a natural feeling to be afraid. God does not condemn us for being afraid, He wants to comfort us. Fear will always be around when I try to pursue the dream God has for me. I have to trust.
One of my biggest enemies is myself. Like I said, I doubt if I am "good enough" sometimes. The truth? God is good enough. He is more than enough. If God is for us, who can be against us? (Romans 8:31) I can't be against myself, because God is for me. I have to trust him. I have to be positive, I have to encourage others, and I have to trust God to put me where He wants me. I have to let him use me. I can't try and figure what He will do, but I have to go with complete faith.
I am willing to let God place me and use me where He wants me. So I get off here with my heart open ready for to be guided and willing to trust.
So thankful for an amazing weekend spent learning and getting to know my Heavenly Father with some amazing ladies!
Hope everyone is having a great weekend :)
Peace
