yes, i am a dreamer

i didn't use to be a dreamer. i thought small and put myself in a box and thus i had no hope. however ... if you let god overtake your mind and your dreams, OH MY WORD .. it's crazy! i feel like i can truly do anything, like i am not limited to what my feeble mind can think of. i mean, my God has taken my boring job and transformed it into a thriving ministry opportunity. he has taken my wednesday nights with my junior high students and totally blown my mind with the options and the relationships that he is bringing to me.

after not being able to return to moody because finances and then having to find a full time job, i pretty much stopped dreaming and felt resolved to a life that wasn't as good as people i knew. i was insanely jealous of my friends back at school that got to live what i thought was perfect, happy, fun filled lives. i felt ashamed to say what i was doing with my life when asked because i wasn't about to start a crazy internship in the sahara desert or i wasn't finishing my master's degree or i wasn't getting ready to plan my wedding. my answer was simply, "i work ... five days a week ... at a bank ..". yet my God changed all of that! he has brought me a joy and a feeling of satisfaction and contentment that i have never felt before. he's also been nurturing new passions within me, especially when it comes to my junior high girls. i am so lucky to be in their lives and so excited to see what god is going to do with that new found passion of mine.

let god take over your mind, your thinking, and your emotions. you seriously will not be let down with the results. he can change any circumstance, any situation, no matter how hopeless or boring it sounds and redeem it to something beautiful and fulfilling. trust me.
