Day Dreamer

Making dreams come true.

Are you a daydreamer or a go-getter? I have always been a day dreamer. There have been many times in life where I have become a go-getter, but I think that’s only because I can see the possibilities beforehand. I have very rarely shot for the impossible. I know that scripture says that with God all things are possible (Matt 18:26) but I’ve always thought that to be for everyone else. I know this will sound depressing, but there’s a light at the end of it all. I grew up with not much of anything. No money, no education, no creativity and absolutely no desire to dream. In my experience, all that stuff happened to everyone else because God had His favorites and I never assumed I was one of them. I mean really, every time I looked forward, or got excited about something, the world would cave in around me and all my plans and ideas and dreams were stopped, or shattered. Never stopping to think that maybe I didn’t prepare in advance, or maybe I didn’t incorporate God’s plan into mine, or maybe God was saving me from something I didn’t see coming.

Throughout the most recent years, as I have become more relational with the Lord, I have learned how to put His promises to use in my life. All those negative thoughts and ideas began to fall at the waist side and I began to hear His voice and read His spoken words. When I find myself sliding backwards in thought, then I read the word of God and remind myself of my future. You see there’s not a topic or a situation that we face that God hasn’t already provided answers for. When I’m feeling defeated His word say’s: but as for you, be strong and do not give up, for your work will be rewarded. 2 Chronicles 15:7. When I’m feeling afraid to set goals, His word says: May he give you the desire of your heart and make all your plans succeed. Psalm 20:4

I myself am quite the dreamer. I dream much bigger than I’ve ever thought possible. There are area’s in my life that I’m dreaming about right now and recently I have gotten a little discouraged thinking those things aren’t meant for me, but as I was daydreaming about certain things I read in Isaiah 43:16 I am the LORD, who opened a way through the waters, making a dry path through the sea. That scripture reminded me of a song I heard and sang often by Kathy Troccoli that says:

He will make a way where there is no way,
He will bring His peace where there is no peace
Watch Him move mountains
Ride you through the waves
He can deliver in the darkest of days….

We serve a God that makes all things possible. Even our dreams and hearts desires are important to Him because He loves us and His desires are to fulfill the desires of our hearts. Psalm 37:4 Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Our God takes delight in His children. Here’s where I think we fall short on many of our dreams. We often daydream about the things we desire in life, but we rarely chase those dreams for whatever our reasoning is. Not long ago a friend of mine said to me: I want you to dream bigger than what you alone are capable of. So, today I challenge you as I’m challenging myself to dream bigger than what you alone are capable of and then chase that dream. Take the 1^st step into making that dream come true (with no excuses). Always incorporate God’s word into your dreams. Honor Him in all you do and I believe your dreams will come true. Honor Him in every step you take. Know that you know His plans are for you, for you to prosper. I love to dream and I will continue to be a daydreamer. I believe in dreams coming true… Do you?
