Thoughts from a Dream Catcher

God is so good and loves to reveal His glory.  One way He does this is by giving us a dream bigger and greater than ourselves.  These dreams are given to us by God and we catch them into our hearts.  His dreams are more than we can ever hope to accomplish on our own.  But God's dreams are God breathed and it is His power that brings them forth, it is our job to trust him and walk with Him as he brings about the very thing He first laid in our hearts.

Never take your eyes of the Dream Giver and stare at your dream.  Notice, I said your dream for after He gives the dreams to our hearts, we can't help but take hold of them.  Take your eyes off of the Dream Giver and you will find yourself frustrated and your way bent.  Do not put your hope in the dream.  Keep your hope on God, for He is the One that brought the dream to your heart and He will see it accomplished.  Your job is to follow Him, which you can do a whole lot easier when you keep your eyes on Him.  You may be waiting years for this dream to be fulfilled, but trust in God. Trust that the road He is taking you down is straight and trust that the destination is not your dream, the destination is the road further traveled with the one your heart truly loves - God.

A dream is an invitation to take a journey with God.  That journey will draw you closer to Him, allow you to lean into Him in deeper and richer ways, and will assuredly be a blessing to so many others.  As long as you stay the course and remember that no matter where the destination lies, the true goal is always to be closer and more like Him.  If you take your eyes of Him, you may lose a lot more than just your desired goal - you could find yourself wandering alone a part from the Lord.

The beauty of your God given dream still pales in comparison to the beauty of God himself.  May we all be always able to say - my heart finds rest in God alone and my truest joy is found in journeying with Him.   No matter what the situation holds,  He is good, loving, holy, and altogether beautiful.
