Dreams!

What an amazing day in History today! and to think we just celebrated the "I have a dream" Martin Luther King yesterday, who 40 years ago had the guts to dream & share (vocalize) his dream, run after his dream no matter what the consequences would be.

As Pastor Ricky ministered this weekend, he used the words "dream & fear" in the same sentence during one of the services as he prayed...ironic when these 2 words are polar opposites, but are they really? I began to think...they go hand in hand many times. I am sure MLK felt fear at times when he shared his dream.

This morning PT shared a statement in Staff Meeting that would mark me "Don't be afraid of finding out WHO you are...no matter where it LEADS you". Meaning the closer you get to your purpose & destiny, the more YOU, your purpose, will be revealed, and the more the direction for your life may change. But you gotta trust, that HE has the perfect plan for your life.

You will begin to live when you lose yourself in God's purpose for you!

Wow!!! There's power in these words "You will begin to live when you lose yourself in God's purpose for you!"

I agree with this statement with all my heart and soul. Thank you so much for sharing such an amazing word.

There's no limit to where God can take us when we're willing to trade our plans for His.

Keep the good stuff coming!!!
