Dreaming God-Sized Dreams

3 weeks ago, I began writing about Dreaming God-Sized Dreams.  I was inspired, so I put it on my Inspirations blog.  However, it never seemed to be the right fit.  So I moved it here. 

It is never too late to dream.  I hope you find inspiration to dream here.  Don't let your fears and your illness shut dreaming down.  Ask God what dreams may come, and share them with us.  If you don't have a blog, share in the comment section.  If you don't have an illness, you are welcome here too.  Life hits us with moving and having to make new friends, shyness, PMS, the blues, problems, and difficult situations of all kinds.  Love one another.  Be kind to one another.  We need each other -- we really do. 

Writing an inspiration blog post must mean I really am back from a very long Christmas vacation.  If you read "Learning to Balance Life Changes", you already know I walk a daily energy tightrope;  therefore, I pick and choose what is most important for me to do without going on a guilt-trip -- well, most of the time there is no guilt-trip.  I have to pray and make sure "my guilt-trip" isn't God's urging sometimes.  I think I usually know, but I tend to be a cautious person.

I have discovered a new "friend"  thanks to Teri Lynne Underwood, blogger extraordinaire.  Holley Gerth's blog  is a source of new inspiration.  Deciding which of my blogs to link up with Holley's was a little difficult, because I have four of them.  I probably have too many blogs, but as I see it, each has it's own purpose;  however, I link them, because Purpose can be intertwined.  At least that is how I see it, because if my life is a prayer and everything in it is part of the path God knows I am going to take, I need to be intentional in my life.

Moreover, I need to pay attention to God's road-signs for me.  And I believe this is one of them, because He inspires other believers to get the attention of those He wants to send a message to.  I am goose-bumpy excited over  how Holley's message has intertwined with what I wrote in my "Reading Through the Bible" blog post in Take Comfort.  For me, reading the whole Bible in one year is definitely a God-sized dream, because I have not succeeded in that yet -- probably, because I like to read novels, watch TV, and "play" on my computer too much.  Ouch!  It is so hard to admit another not perfect facet of me.  However, being a imperfect person like everyone that has ever existed, except Jesus, definitely puts me on the list of NGEM''s (needing God every moment).

Right now, I have more than one God-sized dream, which seems to be an integral part of my personality for as long as I can remember.  Therefore, for brevity's sake and because I have a doctor's appointment in less than an hour, here are my present God-Sized Dreams:  

1. Read the Bible through in one year.
2. Write a book or two or three...
3. Paint on one of my empty canvases, starting this month.
4. Organize my life better - more on that on one of my other blogs, probably.
5. Be a better wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend.

I may have listed too many items on my dream sheet, but I know they do intertwine, and I know how to break down my dreams into baby steps.  I wouldn't be writing this or any blog if I was not learning to to do that better.  Love to all of you from me, and may you have a glorious new year in 2013!
