dreamin big

its time to dream big dreams...to see Your vision become reality. cuz its for You, and by You, and those who love You want to do something so big - its destined to fail without you Lord...

"something big" by john waller


great song...just LOVE the lyrics.

do you ever take time to really think about what you would do if you could do ANYTHING in life? like the ultimate, ideal dream you could think of for your life...
its a scary thing to do sometimes...so overwhelming and big! and, for me anyways, can be hard to really say what you are really dreaming about...because what if ppl laugh? what if ppl think your ridiculous for dreaming these things? or what if it doesnt work out?

or have you ever had those moments where you feel like God is asking you to think about what it is you would want if you could have anything? and you know somehow that whatever you say next He is already planning to make happen in some way...so as hard as it is, you know this is your chance to be completely honest and admit the big dreams you have?

im feeling that lately...God used the Mexico trip to just awaken all these restless feelings and memories of all the times He has asked me what I want...what i dream about with this team and ministry and my life.

so all these big dreams are coming back to the surface...no longer seeming like some big, vague, distant, "someday" type of thing that i can just push away for later- but like something that God is about to make real.
and its like i have NO idea how to go about doing what is to come next...but we didnt know how to put a team together, how to write/create a show, or how to get to Mexico either...yet God did all that...

so right now its like we're in this place of having just a glimpse of what is to come, and having to trust that He is going to get it done, that He is going to get us where He needs us.
crazy stuff to think about, but so cool to see God just working and moving to make dreams happen. He places these dreams in us and then gives us a passion for them and just moves to make it happen in His design. its so amazing.

so i guess what i am saying is dream BIG...be honest with God about where your heart is and what you want, what your desires are - because maybe its a dream God put there and He wants to make it happen.
tell Him, talk with Him, and trust Him with your dreams. and allow Him to prepare you and His plan in the perfect way He designed.

keep the team in your prayers, pray that we can stay faithful in taking the necessary steps to get where He is leading us to...no matter how crazy they may seem. :)
