If there's anything I have learned growing up, it's that the dreams and desires that have surfaced throughout our lives have done so for a reason. God knows us better than anyone else. I mean, after all, He created us! Therefore, He knows what we are capable of when we allow Him to reign as "Captain of our ship!" The thoughts that bounce around in the back of our minds throughout each day, the dreams that keep us awake at night - they are all there for a reason, and they all play a role in preparing us for the future God has planned for our lives! As my high school psychology teacher often quoted as second period neared an end and we embarked on the rest of our day, we are to "go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined." She loved quoting Henry David Thoreau, and it wasn't long after that I began to realize I would love quoting him, too. As mentioned earlier, the desires we have on our hearts are there for a reason, and we are to follow those dreams with a deep breath of confidence, which isn't hard to do once we realize that they were placed there by God Himself! Take a leap of faith and "reach up for the stars! Climb every mountain high! Reach up for the stars, and when that rainbow's shining over you, that's when your dreams will all come true!" Don't accept anything less than God's best for you, and understand that it's okay to want more in life, for your want is there to fulfill the need to make disciples of Jesus Christ! Follow your dreams and God's plan for your life and know that He will have your back as you continue to move forward! GET OUT IN THE WORLD AND ALLOW GOD TO MAKE YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE!
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11
