God is Yet Calling Dreamers!
As we have sought the Lord for direction for this year, He has encouraged our heart to know that great things are in store for those who will believe. HeartLife Ministries is praying a Jabez prayer to expand our borders and that will mean digging deeper into the Word of God and sharing it with the whosoever will come!
Thinking about the vast needs of our world can become overwhelming. How can we best use our time, our talent, and our tithe to be effective. This is the marvelous thing about God, He didn’t make just one person to do it all. God in His infinite wisdom has given each of us one piece of the puzzle that will return this world’s landscape to the original plan. The problem of course is that there is a real and active enemy who tells each of us that we cannot do anything that will make a difference. And then he sees to it that we stay distracted with our own personal problems and put off that one thing that God has placed within our hearts.
This year I re-read “The Dream Giver” by Bruce Wilkinson. I highly recommend this book as a starting point to re-ignite your dream! For God has given to each of us a dream, and with that dream He has given us the ability to see it come to pass! Together, we can triumph over the works of the enemy – we can lift up our families and our communities and fulfill the great commission to reach the lost for Christ.
Listen to your heart, look at your hand, what is there? Don’t try to shake the world, just take one step forward – you will be surprised at how easy and how expansive that next step will be. Drink from the fountain that never will run dry – it will give you strength for the journey:
“I will pour out my Spirit
on every kind of people:
Your sons will prophesy,
also your daughters.
Your old men will dream,
your young men will see visions.
I’ll even pour out my Spirit on the servants,
men and women both.
I’ll set wonders in the sky above
and signs on the earth below:
Blood and fire and billowing smoke,
the sun turning black and the moon blood-red,
Before the Judgment Day of God,
the Day tremendous and awesome.
Whoever calls, ‘Help, God!’
gets help.
On Mount Zion and in Jerusalem
there will be a great rescue—just as God said.
Included in the survivors
are those that God calls.” Joel 2:28

You my dear sister is on the path that God has prepared for you to be on. You are truely a servant of God. I know it’s been a long narrow road you’ve traveled, and it hasn’t been easy, but the reward is far, far greater than you can imagine.
I’ve known for a long time that I do not fit anywhere. I’ve been in a season of change for a very long time. But, “I realize I have two choices: to go on or go under. You are my example not to give up on a dream!
Love you.
