Being a son or daughter of God is what QUALIFIES you—not your experience, degrees, or connections. Dare to DREAM, and watch what unfolds as God proves Himself FAITHFUL and TRUSTWORTHY.
really believe that we can write our way
into our future you know when I was 21
years of age I first started a job as a
waitress and when I got engaged I like I
never ever want to do that again I kind
of do it as a mom but I never wanted to
do it as a job then I went from that to
accounting can you imagine me in an
accounting office counting money it was
like painful it was so stressful it was
so meticulous I hated it and I would
come home every single day from work and
John would say you are so grumpy why
don’t you figure out what you would love
to do and I said because I’m not
qualified to do what I would love to do
hey it doesn’t matter what you’re
qualified to do you know God will
actually see you with desires seed you
with hopes seed you with things that
kind of feel bigger than you could ever
be he sees you with those things
because he is the author and he is the
finisher and so I did something really
scary i sat down with my journal and I
began to put pen to paper and write down
the different things just different
elements of things I’d like to do I’d
like to travel
I’d like to TV produce I’d love to be a
makeup artist I want to be a mom I want
to skydive I haven’t done that one yet I
am okay with that I would love to scuba
dive I want to own a motorcycle I want
to preach the gospel I want to write
books I wrote all of these things down
and I’m going to tell you every single
thing I wrote I heard the enemy try to
fight me and say you can’t do that
nobody in your family has done that you
don’t have the experience you don’t have
the connections you don’t have it well
that is true I had none of those things
but I wasn’t pulling on what I could
provide I was pulling on what God could
provide and he was daring me to dream
and not just daydream he was daring me
to dreamscape to write things down to
write that vision and make it plain so
that I would be able to run with it you
know it was crazy as soon as I wrote
those things down then things started to
fall in line I remember I got a phone
call and they said
hey we’re starting a television network
and we need a makeup artist and the only
person we can think of is you and I said
well that’s interesting because I do to
makeup and they said what we’re going to
pay for you to go to school in addition
to your training that you already have
it was crazy and I knew as soon as I
knew I was like that’s on my list
everything I had written I had done over
the course of the next five years and
then you know what I did I made another
list God wants to take you from where
you are to where he’s calling you to be
but he needs you to be intentional where
you are he needs you to be faithful here
and he needs you to dream there he needs
you to write things down and then put it
into his hands and understand that he
can take care of that you give him those
things and say I believe you’re my
connection you’re my networker you’re my
door opener go ahead and dare to dream
go ahead and write down go ahead and be
creative
circle around those things in prayer
speak them out and faith and entrust
them to God and it will be just a little
while before you start to see those
pieces come together
