Happy New Week Family!🌸
when I grow up, I want to be a nurse.” No, wait—“When I grow up, I want to be a teacher.” Actually, scratch that—“When I grow up, I want to be a lawyer!” That was us, wasn’t it? Back in primary school, high school, and every moment in between, dreaming big dreams like the world was one giant career fair.
And let’s not forget those English compositions we all wrote: “When I Grow Up.” I bet some of us had ten careers lined up in one essay. “I’ll be a singer… and an actor… but also a doctor. Oh, and a judge on the weekends!” The dream buffet was open, and we were just loading up our plates.
Fast forward to today—some of those dreams have shifted, grown, or even been forgotten. But you know what? The dreams God placed in your heart are still there, waiting. This series is about rediscovering them, chasing them, and walking boldly into the future He has for you. You, me, and the Holy Spirit—we’re in this together. Let’s do this!
So Yielded Family, what is a dream? A dream is a vision, hope, or aspiration that lives in your heart and mind, often inspired by your deepest desires, passions, or purpose. It’s that picture of the future that excites you, motivates you, and makes you feel alive. Dreams can be as simple as achieving a small goal or as grand as changing the world. I know mine are always grand 😂 I really stretch it!
From a Christian perspective, dreams often align with God’s purpose for our lives. They’re not just random wishes; they can be divine seeds planted by the Holy Spirit, pointing us toward the plans God has prepared for us. As Proverbs 16:9 says, “In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps.” I love writing so l have lots of diaries full of dreams. Some of which were not my purpose and not in my path of life. I really hope that this series helps those who have disconnected to reconnect with those visions.
When we know where we’re going we feel more alive. I don’t know any confused “happy” person. As the men of God have taught us, speed in the wrong direction often leads to destruction. How can we move in the right direction? We start by defining who we are.
So who are you?
Dreams are both a challenge and a gift—they push us to grow, trust, and take action. Whether it’s a career, a calling, or a personal milestone, a dream is your heart’s way of saying, “There’s more.”
Let’s start by looking within. Who is this person that is reading this? What’s your name?
