What are you Dreaming?

Hello! I am so full of excitement and anticipation for this year that we are beginning. So much is already happening, and this is only day 17.

I was able to book my plane ticket for India last night!! That was awesome.  I am so appreciative to everyone who has sown into the trips so far and am expecting more people to also come along side of me for other expenses the trips will incur.

I wanted to take a moment and encourage you about dreaming.  I believe there is a dream of Heaven on your life.  God has a plan that He wants you to follow--there is greatness that only you can reach.  But, we must listen for His voice.  If He is calling me to take a trip to India, and I am only willing to go to Africa, what may I be missing?  Who in India is waiting for me to accept the dream of Heaven and go there?

What is in your heart to do?  Who is dying, waiting for you to act on the dreams of Heaven, to come to them, to reach out to them, to send aide to them?  What burns within you?  What makes you really come alive?  Pray into that! That very well could be what you are called to do.

Let's run with everything inside of us this year!  Let's pursue the dreams we have.  Even if it's scary.  Even if it doesn't make sense.  Even if you don't have all the answers.  Even if it requires a ton of faith.  Step out!  I believe there is going to be a great grace for walking out dreams, realizing them and achieving them this year!  With my upcoming trips I am beginning to see evidence of this in my own life.  While walking it out requires effort and isn't always comfortable--it's so worth it! Pressing into His plans in this way will definitely teach you to learn to lean in a whole new way!
