The story behind the shirt…
Dream is my one word for the year. Not to daydream or to seek far-fetched ideas — but dream in a God sized way…leaving my tiny world and attempting to see people, plans, and purpose in the way Jesus sees them. This year I felt like God was leading me to dream with my eyes open — to see people as his beloved gifts, his plans as a direction I seek but never set in stone, and his purpose as never changing but ever-evolving in the way we live out that purpose in each of our lives.
While I didn’t seek this trip out as such, I feel it is God’s gift to me in learning how to dream this year. I have a feeling that my dreaming will not stop this year but will continued as I go on the race and as I learn the people, the plans, and the purpose that God has for this year and the ministry I’ve been given through a small snapshot of these countries. I know I will be utterly amazed as it says in Habakkuk and I know that I will come back having seen more joy from the people that have less than we do just from their joy in Jesus and not the brokenness they may be surrounded by.
Thanks for sharing this journey with me friends! I hope to see you tonight at Hudson’s BBQ for some great food and FUNdraising!
