I want to do so much in life. I have so many dreams and desires. Some are deep and serious dreams, others are dreams that would bring me laughter and joy. Here’s a few of my dreams...
(dreams are not in any particular order)
- Start a coffee shop.
- Work alongside Lou Engle towards the ending of abortion.
- Get a pair of Sudoku converse.
- Marry a man who is madly in love with me :)
- Graduate with my Masters in business.
- Learn how to beat box.
- Publish a devotional.
- Co-author a book about my life story.
- Learn Swahili.
- Go to Africa and lead worship.
- Learn how to tag.
- Record the music that I’ve written.
- Reach out to the broken in any way possible.
These are some of my dreams. They aren’t so simple, and I know that it’ll take time and patience for them to come to pass. Right now, all I can really do is wait on God and for His leading. Someday, these dreams will be my reality.
It’s so easy to get caught up in the idea of “someday”. “Someday” is a cop-out, an excuse to do nothing. But the truth is that I wasn’t called for “someday”, I was called for now! Some dreams may take time to develop, but that doesn’t mean that today should be overlooked. My purpose is now. If you think about it, you will never get this moment again; this moment right now, you can’t ever get back. How are you spending it?
So many times we get caught up in our own dreams that we forget about the little things. We get so focused about driving that we forget to look at the passing scenery. We are constantly dodging little opportunities because we deem them as a waste of time and inconvenient. But what if that one stop, that one detour, would touch, and potentially change, someone’s life? And I’m not talking about anything big. I’m talking about the small things. Maybe that cashier just needs a reason to smile. Maybe that student is struggling and needs a word of encouragement. Or maybe your co-worker needs to know that he’s appreciated. Sometimes, it’s the smallest things that have the biggest impact.
What can you be doing today? Keep dreaming, but don’t dream so big that you forget about the little things.
Who needs you today?
