What's Your Dream?

I went to church this morning early for praise team practice. We practiced, and we were ahead of schedule so it left a little more time for praise and devotional time. Deanna brought an amazing devotion this morning. She passed around index cards and asked us to write down our biggest dream. I sat, and sat for a long while and tried to think of something I longed for that I did not have. That's when it hit me. I am so very blessed, and God has given me so much to be thankful for! The dream I wrote on that card was what I thought my biggest dream that right now seemed pretty impossible. My dream is to have a house full of children who know and love Jesus.
However through the course of Mike's message and some things that happend after church really showed me a bigger dream that has to become a reality before the dream I wrote is going to happen. I'm praying that God will move mountains, and that both of my dreams will become reality. I know that God wants the best for his children, and He wants to give them the desires of their hearts. Because I am His, I have the right to dream big and believe that NOTHING is too big for God. All things are possible through Christ!
The intention of this post was to say that I am extremely blessed to be able to serve such an amazing God who has blessed my life so abundantly. I have the best job in the world, and I love what I do. He took an insecurity (moving to kindergarten from first grade), which I was pretty confident I could not do, and He showed me that this is my calling. I love going to work each day, and giving five year olds their first impression of school. I pray each day that I will give them exactly what they need...whether it be knowledge, love, a kind word, affirmation, nourishment, etc. I consider it a priviledge to be a teacher. I also got the opportunity to join the praise band at our church last Easter. I love to sing, and I know that I am not the most talented. I felt compelled to use my talent to further God's kingdom. Deanna invited me to join last Easter, and standing up there singing with these amazing people gives me an unexplainable joy. I'm living my dream and purpose in life, but God is using "storms" to teach me and ultimately mold me into who He desires for me to be.
Thank you Jesus for paying the price for my sins so that I may spend an enternity in heaven! I pray that I am good steward with the blessings you have given me and use them to your glory.
