*sigh*
Have you ever felt like you were so overwhelmed with something so huge, but you can't quite put your finger on exactly what it is? I don't know what's wrong with me, maybe its all this talk of God dreams lately.

I've always loved the Psalm 37:4 scripture "Delight in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart." God gives us the desires of our heart when we find joy and purpose in Him. I believe it and trust it completely that God will and does do this for each one of us that are walking in relationship with Him. I guess the thing is that if God is going to give me the desires of my heart - I proberly should figure out what they are.

For ages I never really knew my passions were or my giftings, till I realised its often the thing that comes so naturally to us we don't even think its special. I love the fact God has made us all so uniquely different. I love how Hes all given us passions for different things yet in one way or another they all work together to serve His big picture. Its the same goal but just different methods or strategies for each person.

So what are my passions?
What gets me out of bed?

I guess if I really think hard, the core of it is people. I just love people, I love watching people, I love talking to people, I love getting into their world and trying to see their reality. People are so fascinating. But specifically, I am passionate about seeing people come to know God personally and seeing their lives be transformed for the better. I am passionate about connecting people both to God and others and I am passionate about being His hands and feet, showing people how relevant today He really is.

Its these are the passions that fuel my God dreams. These are things that fire me up, these are the things that get me out of bed in the morning and these are the things that make me say "See! We need a Christian music show with something like that on Channel 10!" whenever I hear a Christian rock/hip hop/dance/pop song on the Sonshine FM.

God dreams: They are so important for God has placed them in the depths of our hearts. I haven't quite figured out my God dream yet, and I doubt I will really know it for a while. All I know is that its got something to do with what I am doing now so I need to be faithful in what He has given me for the time being.

I know I want to do something awesome for God in this lifetime. I want to do something that is such a step of faith, that is so life transforming and God honoring that there is a sense of desperation for God to pull through. To do anything great for God is going to cost something.

Dare to dream big, after all, we serve a big God :)
