ONE MONTH TO LIVE

DAY 7
Write out a description of one dream you have that you believe is from God. How has it "floated to the top" in your life? How does it require faith on your part for it to be realized? How does it serve others?
My dream of performing through song and act for God's people is continually at the top of my thoughts. It has been since the beginning of all time for me. The dream is to be able to travel around to different women's conferences and ladies groups and events in Christendom and share God's message with people by singing and drama and the sharing of my story and belief in God. The faith that it requires is to really to overcome my fear of failure. I've learned that to conquer our fears we really don't need more faith but more love, I guess I need to have more love for those who will hear the message and also more belief in the love God has for me and that He will provide success and finish the good work He has started in me. I do believe God is pulling me closer and closer to living this desire He has for me. He continues to give me opportunity to sing and perform even when I'm not looking for it. He continues to give me more and more songs to sing for Him. He's raising up a support system around me that will sustain me through all the difficulties that this dream will incur. He's just recently given me very clear direction on the next step and now I need to just do my part and get to work.

Another dream I feel that God is giving me and Cody is the dream to settle down. This is an extremely scary thing for me since I have moved 31 times in my life and never lived in the same place longer than five years (that was from 1-6 years of age). Yet, several clues have given us hints and awakened this desire in us. We deeply desire to be near our children as they grow and become independent, we deeply desire the deep fellowship of the body of Christ and the fruit that is found in those relationships. Yet, both of these desires are best achieved by staying put. So, we are praying for God to send us settled soon.
