Do you dare to dream?
I have to admit - I love womens conferences, and girly nights, so how blessed was I when Ann invited me to attend 'Dreams, Denim and Dance' womens night at her church River Church, er I mean Riverview.
The night was awesome, filled with lots of music, dancing and inspiration on reaching for your dreams. Something that I have never really thought about seriously till last night. What was my dream?
You know if you would have asked me last week what I saw myself doing the the future I wouldn't be able to tell you. If you were to ask me what my 'gifts' were (and even now, I think) I would be struggling to think of anything. But last night before I went to bed I sat down and thought long and hard about what my passions and future dreams were for myself versus what my dreams were as a child, and I think I've come to some vague comprehension.
I want to get married. - As a little girl, I used to dream about getting married, having a wonderful husband that loved me no matter what. But long the way, growing up through my parents divorce, I lost that dream. And as much as I tell everyone that I don't really mind being alone I think deep down inside there is still that little girl dream of meeting my prince charming and having a family of my own. In saying that though, doesnt mean I'm going to get hitched to the first Joe Schmoe that shows me a flicker of attention - I still have standards, you know...
I want to touch peoples lives. - Whether this is one persons life, or multiple, I dont know. But I do know want to share my heart with others.
I have a passion for womens ministrys - I love the idea of empowering women to live lives to their full potential, and I think thats why I love womens conferences.
These are just a few of the things I thought of last night. Some I feel are pretty bold, and some I feel require a strength and a courage which is beyond me, but I just think if God can Moses a great leader despite his stutter, God can achieve anything in all of us if its His Will. The question is: Do you dare to dream?
