Ever since I was little I’ve had big dreams. I’ve always had things to look forward too, goals to achieve and plans to see through. I feel like I’ve spent the majority of my life preparing for those things. I’ve done a lot of studying, I’ve worked hard, and I’ve been through a lot of trial and error. Now at age 25 I realize that I’m actually living out my dream. I’m doing exactly what God has planned for me to do. I am praying over my fellow brothers and sister in Christ. I’m loving those who need love. I’m encouraging the hopeless. I’m spreading the kingdoms to the nations. I can’t believe God has enabled me to do these things. These things of such great importance. What a dream!!! I get to help the king of kings do his work. And He loves me so much that He is going to protect me and guide me throughout my life.
Yesterday we visited a family that needed prayer. I was able to share my story with a lady named Consuela. We were able to lay hands on her and pray for her healing. I know God was working. I know He was so present. She said she felt heat all throughout her leg and that the pain was gone. It is a dream to be involved in Gods healing hand!!
Today in church we put on a David and Goliath skit for the kids. I had the opportunity to narrate the story. It gave me so much joy to hear the kids laughter fill the room. It is a dream to ministry to the next generation!!
Today I had the opportunity to preach during church service, something I never thought I would do even in English, let alone another language. What an honor!! Today in my weakness, God used me as a vessel. I was not adequate to give that message but with God I was sufficient. It is a dream to be able to work in Gods strength.
Tonight I felt God telling me to pray for this women in church. God had a special message for her. As I started to pray for her, she began to cry. As I prayed harder I felt her body weight fall on me. She had lost control of her body. She was slain in The Spirit!! It is a dream to see The Spirit so present in my life!!
God has overwhelmed me with joy. I can’t believe I get to live THE dream. Life can’t get any sweeter than when you are in the center of God’s will. I’ve had such a great life. God has blessed me with a great family and great friends. He has blessed me with everything I could possibly ask for here on earth, yet I felt more joy in church serving God than I did when I was taking pictures of the Eiffel tower in Paris. I felt more joy praying for God’s children than I did when I was riding the gondolas in Venice. I felt more joy teaching children about God’s love then I did when I was laying on the beach in Spain sippin on margaritas. I felt more joy talking about God to strangers than I did when I was playing college basketball in front of thousands of people. Those earthly things aren’t living the dream. God’s plan for my life is living the dream. I am so thankful that he has chosen me and has given me the courage to say yes! The fact is that He has chosen all of us. You have been chosen too. All you have to do is say yes!
