going for my "stupid dream"

Hello friends and fellow readers. Today is Sunday Earth day! I am sitting outside enjoying this beautiful Texas weather. I decided to write a special blog today. I have been very in touch with life and God today, and would like to share some of my thoughts and emotions with you today. As a little girl I always knew I was somewhat different than a lot of my peers. A Dreamer is what people would define me as once they got to know me. I’ve always had big hopes for life and knew I was meant to help people out, not sure how but I felt compassion in my heart for everyone good or bad. As years went on I guess I just got comfortable with the life I had and figured all those high hopes were really just dreams. It wasn’t until maybe a year ago that I realized I was given a gift from God. It wasn’t until I gave myself completely to him that I started believing in myself. Two amazing people kept encouraging me to start a blog and use my words for others who might need some lifting and inspiration. It took me a good six months to even get started on this blog! I was scared of the critics, and what people would think of me when I put my real self out there. You see every human has big dreams and wants greatness out of life. But not many fulfill their true destiny or serve their purpose on earth. We get stuck in “mediocrity,” we become comfortable with our life. Or we convince ourselves that maybe the dream placed in our hearts and mind were just dreams. Friend let me tell you that those dreams and inspirations weren’t placed there on their own. A higher power has filled you with these big dreams, and don’t think I’m talking about becoming rich and famous. A dream could be as simple as having a happy family, feeding your children, graduating college, learning a new language. All these are dreams that were placed in our hearts and minds for us to reach and fulfill. But as humans we let life’s struggles stop the dreaming. I have fallen into this path myself. I lost hope, faith, and that was my biggest downfall. Let me tell you how I got back up and declared my dreams to be reality! I started waking up every morning asking God to use me as his tool for speaking, loving, giving, and receiving. I now take every single person that comes into my life as part of my “dreams” God has placed all the right and wrong people in my life for a reason. Friend that dream you have in your head small or big is very possible for you to achieve. By making small changes around you will start seeing Gods blessing pour into your life. If you’re in a job that just sucks the life out of you and makes you feel unhappy, leave it! Go out and start fulfilling that dream you have deep inside you that you have been pushing away because the lack of support, direction, inspiration or motivation. Anyone who truly loves you will push you forward. And for those who laugh at your “stupid dream” or think that’s all it is a “dream” well those people are the reason why you can’t move towards that dream. Those people will poison your life with negativity.  For example, “if you hang around a thief you will become a thief.” Surround yourself with dreamers, and “go getters.” I am pursuing my dream right here right now. The euphoric feeling that I get after putting my words out there for the world is unexplainable. I don’t care if I ever get paid for what I’m doing as long as I keep receiving this joyous feeling inside my soul. Friends I want to encourage you to take the first step towards that dream. LITTLE OR BIG God has placed them there for you to do. Once you take that first stride the rest of the race will be a breezy road as long as you keep God right next you. Thanks for reading friends. I have been deeply touched this past week and just wanted to share some thoughts with you all. oneLOVE
