Dreams

What are your dreams? What are your plans for the future?

Write them down. They can anything. Nothing is too silly or too crazy or too boring to go on this list. Dreams are those wonderful hopes and wants and desires that God places in us.

After you write your list I want you to post it on your wall in your room, on your locker door, or if you want to keep it private, in your journal; any place where you can look at them, often. Why?

When I was in Jr. High I wrote down my dreams. As I've gotten older some of my dreams have changed but quite a few have stayed the same. But being reminded of what I wanted and who I desire to be has kept me focused, working toward my goals.

Remember though that dreams aren't set in stone. They change and thats ok. Be open to that.

Now there's one more thing I want you to do, if you're up to it and can handle it. I want you to take your list and give it to God. Say, "Lord these are my dreams, my wants, and desires. I give them to you, to fulfill them in my life." Then ask Him to make His desires and dreams for your life, your desires and dreams. Be sincere.

When I first made my list, being a youth leader wasn't on it. Lol. But I did have on my list to be a teacher. Now I meant a classroom teacher at the time, but after I gave my list to God, He changed my dreams. I'm not a classroom teacher but I am a teacher as a youth leader.

Don't ever stop dreaming but I dare you to include God in your dreams. They will blow your mind and take you on a much bigger journey then you would have taken yourself on.
