DREAM: What are you waiting for?
I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. Phil. 3:14
After dreaming, praying, discussing and wondering, there comes a time to step over the line and take action.
In this series, DREAM, my goal has been to help you:
- DREAM about what you would like to do or be--to identify what fills you with passion
- REVIEW your strengths and look back at past indicators of what brings you joy and purpose
- EXPLORE the opportunities around you to taste your passion, perhaps in small doses for now but with a view to incorporating them more fully later.
- ANALYZE the obstacles that inevitably crop up--both external issues, and internal messages that can derail you before you take one step forward.
And here's the last step:
- MOVE FORWARD. Begin to transform your dream and passion into action.
- Ask yourself: What one step could I take today? Research information online? Make an appointment with someone who could advise me, or is doing what I'm drawn to? Offer to volunteer and see if it is as satisfying as I image?
If you find yourself hesitating, wistfully saying "maybe some day I'll get to live my passion," ask yourself a few final questions:
- WHAT AM I WAITING FOR?
- WHERE WILL I BE 5 OR 10 YEARS FROM NOW? In the same place? Or experiencing the thrill and blessing of knowing I'm serving God, and putting the talents and gifts He gave me to use for His glory, and my joy.
Question: What do you hear God whispering to you? What step of obedience will you take this week?
Would love to know.
Blessings,
