What’s Your Dream?

I know there’s a dream God has placed in your heart and He is the One who will cause it to come to pass!

Jeremiah 29:11 says, 

For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. (NLT)

My dream is to help people by setting their eyes on Jesus! Whether I do that with my own kids, on a stage at a speaking engagement, at the grocery store with the checkout clerk or at the water park at Six Flags, it matters not to me.

It can be one person at a time or a big group of people.

The reason it doesn’t matter to me if I fulfill my calling in mass numbers or one or two people at a time is because I understand that whatever I do I am to do it unto the glory of God, not unto my glory.

Completely disconnecting your worth and value from what you do and placing it in Christ alone will be one of the most important decisions of your life. It’s a very restful, peaceful place to live!

When my book, I Tried Until I Almost Died, came out in March of 2015, God put the word longevity on my heart and spoke to me to believe for my book to have longevity. He was showing me at the time and has reminded me since, not to put Him in a box regarding how He is going to cause people to find, read and be transformed through a revelation of grace while reading my book.

During the 2 years when I was writing my book I cannot tell you how many times I tangibly felt help going out to the people who were going to be reading it in the future. It would overtake me at times. I would feel it so deeply and think, “Oh my gosh, people have got to get this book so they can get a revelation of God’s grace and start living in the freedom Jesus died to provide for them.”

I know this could sound really arrogant if someone took it wrong, but when I was feeling and thinking these things, it wasn’t from the standpoint that people should get the book because it was MY book and MY book was the best book in the world. It wasn’t like that at all.

It was the fact that I knew the book was all about Jesus and I so desperately wanted to set people’s eyes on Jesus (the person of grace) because I know HE is their freedom! He is everything they need!

How many people do you think there are out there that just give up on their dream if it doesn’t come to pass in the way they imagined it would? Have you done this? If so, it’s time to start dreaming again!

I have a desire to see my book go all over the world and help set people free and I will NEVER stop believing for this to happen. I will keep believing God to do this until my dying breath. And in fact, He is already causing this to happen, one person at a time!

For a while now, I’ve been collecting a new pile of testimonies from people who have read my book. I just added 12 new ones on my book page if you want to check them all out, but here are some of them.

So whatever your dream is, I really encourage you not to put God in a box as to how that dream needs to come to pass. If He put the dream in your heart, He will definitely cause it to come to pass! I encourage you to keep your eyes on Him and always do what you do for His glory alone!

If you have not yet made Jesus your Savior and received the wonderful joy that His finished work on the cross has provided for you to live in, please visit my page here titled Jesus In The Driver’s Seat. On this page I explain the good news of the gospel and you will have the opportunity to pray a prayer of salvation, making Jesus your Savior! Jesus loves you and His arms are wide open!
