Dream Big

     I believe everyone needs to dream. In other words, have a goal. I heard President Trump say one time, “If you are going to dream, dream big!” That would be a good thing, but I must add that within that “big dream” and desire, make sure it aligns with God’s will and purpose. What joy would it bring me if I reached a dream, but did not have God in it? 

     Below is an acronym to pay attention to:  

 

D esire a dream while obediently walking with God to reach it 

R est patiently in God, trusting God with the dream 

E nter into praise even when circumstances delay the dream

A lign the dream in Godly ways

M ake a way to change or alter the dream if God leads another direction

 

Psalm 16:11 tells me, “You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore. 

     So, go ahead...and "Dream Big!"

Applying A, B, C of Goalsl

Everyone needs a dream- a goal; it makes life interesting and the end-result, once achieved, makes life rewarding.  I got ahead of myself yesterday when I posted the 7 D's of my dream. Today I'd like to cover the three A, B, and Cs. 

AAA

Adopt a goal
Aim toward the end result 
Anticipate road blocks but stay focused 

BBB
Begin 
Believe
Bend with the road blocks but stay the course 

CCC
Consult with others
Consider options
Continue onward 

The Seven D's

I remember a dream I had one time; it was a hope- a wish. I had to make a decision based on facts about how to accomplish it. The facts led to a delay while I allowed things to fall into place; I could not just jump in head first; as some might say “sink or swim”.  At times, during the process, I felt as if I had met a dead-end. That was when I needed to take another look at the facts and consider all the options. Finally the plan headed down the right path. I was determined! My patience soon found the dream coming true. That was  deliverance. My hope and wish finally met success giving me delight, a joy and happiness. You might say the steps included 7-D’s.

 

Dream- a hope/ a wish

Decision- study of facts 

Delay- Patient until the right time  

Dead-end  - reconsideration of facts 

Determination - staying the course 

Deliverance- success

Delight- joy
