Steps To Your Dream To Walk Out
Where is your hope today? Is your hope in the dream for your life? Or is your hope in The Giver of Dreams?
I’ve gone down the trail of hope in my dreams….from golf…to marketing… even my family with kids loving and serving God in their own way.
I confess…I have moments where my dreams hit the ground with a thud as I clutch to worry instead of faith.
Or i can think of it this way.. These dreams have brought a face plant in the ground!
It could be with my family, with my assignment, or with relationships.
Recently, all these emotions took me down for a day. I lose my voice, hope and vision during these attacks. I do rise…by the Word, encouragement from my husband, and unshakable hope found in the Word.
And I do get help from a tight inner circle group of friends.
What about you…?
I hope you can really understand that the only place of hope is putting all your hopes and dreams in God’s Hand.
Do you know He really loved to does outdo what you may think is possible.
That’s one reason this verse is carved on my heart.
“20 Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, 21 to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.
Thats Ephesians 3:20-21
You hope deferred…is in His hands…
Safe in His hands.
Check this
“For he alone is my safe place.
His wrap-around presence always protects me
as my champion defender.
There’s no risk of failure with God!
So why would I let worry paralyze me,”
Psalm 62:6
I also realize pain, trauma and devastating hurts may have stopped you from dreaming.
But
“ If you can see the possibilities beyond the pain, then your story is not yet over.”
Katherine Wolf in her book Suffer Strong: How To Survive Anything By Redefining Everything….said something so encouraging. Now this is a woman who miraculously survived a near-fatal brainstem stroke at age 26,
“You are not destined to be defined by the trauma in your past, but you can choose to be defined by the Christ-fueled
In overcoming the trauma…. How are we to be conformed into a more gracious, gritty, patient, and peace-filled shape without first rubbing against the sharp edges of suffering?
Trauma can be more than a dark pit of despair or a spiral of depression. It has the potential to be our deepest source of empathy, strongest point of connection, and most forceful impetus for growth if we bravely choose to let others into both the brokenness and the mending. While psychologists coined the term “post-traumatic growth” in the mid-1990s, we knew about it long before then. We simply called it “resurrection.” If you can see the possibilities beyond the pain, then your story is not yet over.”⠀
So through your trauma could arise a voice of testimony.
Overcoming your mental mess could be a message of hope.
Final thoughts to Help…you
Invest in your dream…invest in you. It’s a kingdom principle friend.
Ask Him…where to invest…whether it’s time or finances.
I have found God’s help in my rebuild process a few years ago.
I knew I needed to get back on my destiny feet with my voice.
How did He help me…I asked…and found the best books to read concerning my voice.
I asked for a coach and He lead me to one that taught invaluable refreshers on course building, consults, and copywriting.
Just a few years ago …I asked again..concerning Instagram…and once again He lead me to my current coach who empowers me and helps me market my voice…share my dreams.
I can be sure my dream comes from God, when it is conceived of the beautiful, righteous, and profitable, and is rooted in truth and fulfilled through obedience and discipline.
Hold your dreams in hands of faith, kept open before the living Lord who alone is the fulfiller of dreams.
Receive your dream—talk in a way that does not dissipate it.
Pursue your dream—walk in a way that does not violate it.
