So often we speak of God’s ability to do the impossible while placing Him in a box on a closet shelf and refusing to entertain the possibility that He will.

Over the past few days I have come to the conclusion that I need a God-sized dream.

I mean I have dreams like getting married and having my college loans paid off, but those things happen every day. I am talking about a dream that requires an out-of-the-box, only God could dream it let alone bring it about dream.
Two weeks away from the World Race, feeling a bit lost and lonely, I found that for years I have dreamed of traveling the world and being involved with missions. That dream has been realized. Do I want to do more ministry and see more of the world? Certainly! But my point is I discovered my biggest dream  has already been attained and while some days 28 seems ancient I am hoping it isn’t over just yet.
 

What now?

It is the question that hangs on the lips of everyone I talk to and a big reason why I have spent as little time as possible outside my home. I do not fault people for wanting to know, it is just that it is the same question resonating in my head and taunting me at every turn.

The truth is I don’t know. For me this place is like a blank canvas. The options seem so wide open that it is both exciting and intimidating. Like having a color palette picked before knowing exactly the direction it will take, I have some ideas of what is included but where to go with it and how it all works together is another matter entirely.

What I do know is that God wants to bring His kingdom to this earth and I want to be part of that in whatever capacity He has planned to see His people walk in freedom and in their identity as sons and daughters.
 
Are your dreams the kind that require a God who can make the impossible reality or are they relying on your own strength and ingenuity?

You see things; and you say, “Why?”
But I dream things that never were; and I say, “Why not?”
-George Bernard Shaw
