I recently came across Holley Gerth’s site and she talked
about God-sized dreams during the New Year. Her definition goes:
God-sized Dream = A
desire in your heart for more of what God has for you.
Before delving into the God-sized dream, let me just say that
last year was a super blessed one for me! It was the year I turned 40, and the
year when the Lord began to restore many of my passions and dreams! These were
somehow set aside as “life happened” — my commuter lifestyle, that is. But last
year brought a newness with it. Somehow, the Lord allowed me to come across
books and other material that talked about calling, gifting, dreaming (without
me even searching for them). I’ve been pondering on these for sometime now, and
have written down several dreams and goals for the year. I will not share them
all here, but one of the desires that I believe the Lord has put in my heart
for over a year now is this:
To reach out to women who may be undergoing situations that
I’ve gone through or am going through, stuff like:
1. Having a commuter lifestyle — living in two different
places, having to shuttle back and forth every so often
2. Having to be apart from my husband many times
3. Having to deal with so many changes on a regular basis
4. Relocating, traveling
5. Marriage, pregnancy and motherhood
6. Being a working mom and a work-at-home mom
7. Loneliness and fears
8. And more!!!
There is this desire in my heart to encourage and inspire
women, to be in solidarity with them, to show them that there is hope in Jesus.
I think somehow this blog is one way of doing that, as I simply share how the
Lord has worked and continues to work in my life, as well as the lessons I’ve
learned along the way.
Can you relate to any of the above situations I mentioned?

DeleteHi! I appreciate your visit to my blog, Everyday Ruralty. I like your blog, and I smiled at the story of your marriage proposal.:)I see you haven't been blogging long. This summer will be three years for me. I think you will really enjoy having a blog. I hope you will drop by again. On Tuesdays, I have "Chats on the Farmhouse Porch" where folks answer 5 questions and we visit each other's blogs to see the answers, offer encouragement, and get connected with other bloggers. Most of the people who join in on this are Christian women, who are so uplifting and encouraging. Drop in next week and see what I'm talking about. Have a good rest of the week and weekend!
