Dream Big or Go Home!

God gave us our dreams; they might as well be GINORMOUS!!!  Yes this is the movie poster for the new Snoopy movie that is in the works for release next year at this time.  I love Snoopy and his imagination.  He thinks it and he becomes it. 

He is just a dog and he doesn't let that stop him from being a WWI Flying Ace flying his Sopwith Camel taking down the Red Baron.  Snoopy is a living tribute to all the men and women in all the branches of the armed forces.  What a patriotic pooch!

He is Joe Cool being the Big Man on Campus being one of the coolest and hippest personas the dog has.  He made a name for himself all around Charlie Brown's school.

He is a beagle scout, a legal beagle, and my personal favorite he is a literary ace!  Snoopy is always working on writing The Great American Novel that I personally look forward to reading.  He never gives up on the dream no matter how many rejection letters he receives.

How many of even remember our dreams?  I have always seemed to be interested in telling stories and even talked about writing a book when I was 21.  Life happened and I forgot about my dream of writing a book.  I continued to tell my stories but the dreams of writing literally died. 

I would write about my Doobie Brother concert adventures (on the fan club page) that were so detailed that you thought you were there.  I would write letters and emails that would be so thorough that the reader probably just skimmed as they didn't have all day to find out what happened to me during whatever scene I was relaying.  

It would take me a couple hours to write what only took 5 minutes to read however I couldn’t stop writing until I got on to paper what was in my head….but I forgot about the dream of writing.

I thank God He sent me a man to tell me “God said that you are to Write, Write, Write.  You have a lot of stories to tell you need to write them.”   

That word from the prophet sent me into prayer asking God if that was true, and He reminded me of the dream that I had when I was younger. 

How many of us need reminding of the dream?  How many of us let the dream fade away through the hustle and bustle of this busy life we lead?  How many of us don’t think that we deserve to live our dreams?  God gave us our dreams and the desire to make them our reality. 

If you can dream it, you can be it.  Become your dream.  If you want to dance, dance.  If you want to teach, teach.  If you want to be an artist, get to creating! 

You my friends are the only thing stopping you on your path to your destiny.   If there is a boulder on your path move it, go around it or go over it.   Don’t let anything detour you from your dream.

God gave Joseph a dream.  His dream made his family angry and his brothers hated him more than they did before the dream.  They sold him into slavery over the dream and through all their hatred of him. 

However his brother’s hatred was part of the plan.  If they would not have sold him into slavery, those 13 years of him being with God and God using him in Egypt to become the right hand man of Pharaoh.  He would not have been able to save his family during the famine.    

Not everyone may be in favor of your dream.  Don’t let the setbacks stop your comeback!  You keep turning to God and moving forward.

The children of Israel wanted to go back to Egypt when the Egyptians were chasing them when they came upon the Red Sea.  Moses wanted them to be still and let God show His power.  However God wanted them to go forward.  They couldn’t move toward their promise land if they stood still.    God did show His power separating the Red Sea when Moses and the Israelites trusted God that He had their backs.  They moved forward, Moses lifted his staff, the seas parted and the Israelites walked on “dry” ground.   Not only were the waters moved they were sucked out of the ground, for them to walk on dry land.  No one getting stuck in the mud during that miracle.  

God made the way for them to move toward the promise and their destiny they just needed to move forward.  He gave them everything they needed, they just needed to believe in the promise, obey the word of instruction and then step out in faith showing God they trusted in Him.   When they trusted Him enough to move forward, He (in the form of a cloud) moved between them and their enemy, the Egyptians.  Their faith of moving forward toward deep waters was what allowed God to not only part the waters for them but to move between them and the enemy.

Dream your dream, step out in faith working that talent that your dream is centered around and watch God make a way for your dream to become reality. 

Work it baby, work it!

Not knowing which direction to go?  Ask God for directions.

Not knowing how to proceed?  Ask God how He wants you to proceed.

Not knowing what avenue to take?  Ask God what route you are to take.

He gave you the dream and will help you with it.  We serve a Big God and He can make the way for the Biggest of Dreams happen!  Believe in the Big God that gave you your Big Dream.  Let God be God and let Him show you that nothing is impossible.  Step out in faith.  Dream it, become it.

Dream Big or Go Home!

To God Be All the Glory AMEN AMEN AMEN!

Until Next Time, God Bless!
