Do you have dreams?
Where do you write them down? On a notepad, in a journal, on corners of the newspaper, or do you write them on a napkin?
I write my dreams in lots of spots... random scraps of paper, notebooks, journals, but never a napkin.
I was given a napkin tonight at church and that napkin represents my dream. The speaker, Dave Ferguson was sharing his story of how the church he planted started on a napkin.
I think if I want my dream to start becoming a reality I need to start dreaming big...even if it is on a napkin.
I dream of having camps for "high risk" students where they can come ride horses and learn about Jesus and the remarkable things He said and the story He left behind for us.
I dream of being able to have a farm where that can be a reality and where I can have a food pantry in that farm and send the kids home with either a home cooked meal, or a bag of canned goods for their family.
Today I start dreaming big and leave my little dreams behind.
Have big dreams, and dream big and hopefully one day soon that dream will become a reality.

Heart break
My heart breaks more easily lately.
I become weary much quicker, and my patience is very thin.
The season of life my husband and I are in right now is hard. There are days where I put God on a shelf because I don't want to grow. I don't want to learn. I just want to be, and I want things to be easy.
I read a friends blog recently and she talked about her walk with God in a way that was to raw, so real, and it made me think about where I am with God.
It made me realize that I'm not the only one who struggles with their relationship with God. There are days where I feel on fire, and days where I just want to do my own thing and leave God in the dust.
I can't do that. God never leaves me in the dust. He never forgets about me. The fact that He never forgets about me just warms my heart. It makes me open my eyes to the beauty of my relationship with Him. It makes me long for that connection and it breaks my heart and makes it ache for others to experience the same love and growth I have... Even when I don't want to grow.
I need to grow.
I am going to grow.
I am growing.
