I realised this morning that just recently I had become scared of dreaming and stopped hoping that my dreams can come true. And that's a dangerous place to get to.

If we don't dream big dreams, knowing that our God can 'do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine' (I lOVE that verse!) then what is there?

I've had a bit of a hard week, and I haven't been able to quite put my finger on what the problem was and why I was stuggling.  But these past 7 or 8 days I've just wanted to hibernate and not have to face the world.  Not that anything awful had happened, far from it, but something just made me want to curl up inside.

I think now that maybe it was because I'd lost hope.  Hope that was almost certainly placed in the wrong thing, and that was why God needed to take it away - so I could place it back in Him and Him alone.

But this morning's entry in Word For Today really got me back on my feet, challenging me to have the courage to act on my dreams, to believe in the things that God has enabled me to see but that don't yet exist.  I can never out-dream God and so I'm ready and dreaming once again and have even committed my dreams to paper.  So bring it on!
