it has been an amazing week. last sunday was the kickoff for our first series of the year… dream on. pastor ron brought it - tie-less. love it when pastor ron comes casual. it feels like i’m listening to dad.
i am surrounded by people who daily discipline themselves to look past what they see in the natural to the dreams god has placed in their hearts. i know this because i live my life beside them - i see them do it every day. this week i have heard several accounts of long awaited dreams coming true. one friend in particular was sharing with me a dream that was becoming a reality in their life. they suddenly got quiet and just couldn’t talk. i saw all over their countenance straight down into the depths of their heart… they didn’t have to say another word. we’re talking BIG HUGE UBER dreams. god dreams. my heart lept for them.
i truly believe this is just the tip of the iceberg for this year. i fully expect to encounter many more speechless people in 2008. i am provoked and excited. and i am determined now more than ever to choose god’s perspective over my own. the dreams god has given me exceed my current resources and skill set exponentially. but i keep hearing over and over in my spirit god urging me to rest in him, seek wisdom and just do what it know. i am at peace, really humbled and highly expectant… and, i’m ready to be stretched - - again.

Hey! Thanks for linking me up sister. I have no creative words to express how delighted I am to be in a ministry with people like you. I love you a lot. God is doing something BIG.

Being greatly touched my your 01-11 entry, particularly re:choosing God’s perspective and in case I haven’t already told you — one day not long ago as I was heading into the woods walking my dog thinking happily that this is the life I have chosen — this is what I have chosen to do with my life. Our Lord God corrected me: NO this is the life I have chosen for you and, of course, He is correct isn’t He! This little house is not where I wanted to live, my work is not what I had wanted, etc. etc. BUT my little house, my work, etc. etc. is so much better than I ever dreamed! What is left but to humbly REST & BE THANKFUL. I am. Rejoicing with you.
