So my friend Mark told me about this video today and I have to say I love it! He brought it up and said "I know you're into this type of crap", and it actually proved that he knows me quite well. When the first question is raised we immediately begin thinking about our ultimate dreams, what we could do if money wasn't an issue, and even more. We associate money not being an option which strength and an "anything is possible" perspective, we get excited about it, passionate almost. I went all goosebumps when I heard that we should live in the way that money is no object, and how we should just live! Don't waste your time, get right to the dream! Sometimes I think that God's dream for me and my dreams are totally different and run parallel to one another but they will never cross. But I do not give my God any credit; my gifts, passions and dreams are given by God. But my dreams are still pretty mediocre to God and I cant help but think He looks over my shoulder, laughs at my dreams and goes "pfft, wait till you see what I have in store, wayyyy better and wayyy more imaginative than you're stuff". Looking back, there are some things which I am so thankful didn't work out, more than thankful but in those situations I was often heartbroken, but that heartbrokenness was merely God whispering "Vikki, I promise that what I have is better, trust Me", at the time you never buy it, but hindsight is an incredible thing. One day I might travel the world, take beautiful pictures, marry a funny and gorgeous man to do ministry with, have 5 beautiful children, live in a beautiful house and laugh everyday or I might not and be living something I cant even fathom because its so crazy awesome. Either way I live with the promise that I will never be left or forsaken (Hebrews 13:5) and that God has thee best plan for me which is far better than the one I have for myself.
Dreams are an awesome thing. I love seeing them happen to the people around me and reading about them in the Bible. When the Lord tells Sarah, who so old and has been barren her whole life, that she is going to have a baby, she laughs, she doesn't believe that God could do such a thing and bless her in such a way and she just laughs. For once in my life I am beyond excited about how God is going to work in my life, so excited to see how He is going to show up in my life and dreams and I cannot wait to tell you all about it.
