Dream

Hi there.
Do you know what?
This is my 48th post, and I am so utterly excited.
To tell you the truth, I really did think I wouldn't get beyond 10 posts.
So how are things going?
Today I want to talk to you about dreams, yes, the ones that you have at night, but most importantly the ones that you tucked away in the back of your head.

The ones that one day you will be able to do.

We all have those "One day'' days don't we?
The only if I get through this work, I'll be able to do that thing, or the days when you just want to pack it all in and go after it.

And some days you are just asking so many questions of yourself, what on earth, are we here for, and what makes us tick?

And some times we have those days when it's sunny out side, but inside its a raging storm.

All it takes is a couple of bad days and you're feeling sad.

Being busy is good, but if you're running around being  busy in small things, what sort of time are you gaining?
Now that might not make sense, for now, but today I had that sort of day.

Lots of small things to do, and it was fustrating, then sometimes you can get over sensitive with comments, and then you get abused on top of that, and you're wondering why you even bother, and you feel like everything you do is done over a microscope.

The first thing to do, is stop proving yourself, in situations.

The more you are with competitive people the higher the bar is raised for you to jump over.

Jesus said, the little things that you do, will become greater.

And write down what went wrong, we learn from our mistakes, if it's the wrong way, and if there's a faster way to accomplish it  better, do it, this also means that you are willing to learn, and you only have to be told once do it, it also pays to have a note book around, so you can write things down, and it will shape you, to the person you will be.

If you're having a bad day,  have space to know that it's just a bad day, don't try to make it better, just let it slide.  And know that it's ok to have a bad day.

Have one accountable person, it might be a good friend, it might be that person, you are close to, say your husband or wife, but don't hide things, if things are just too hard to face.
We are human and we will make mistakes, and we will mess up from time to time.

Have that one close friend you can share life with, you know the type when you get so similar about life.
You know iron sharpening iron, it never get blunt.
Always have a sharp kind edge on lovely friends, what do I mean by this?
I guess it's a bit of a cookery term,
My chef knife is horrible to work with if it's blunt, it cuts poorly, it's harder to work with, and you just don't like doing things if you have a blunt knife.

So i guess I want to talk to you about, life,  if you have a sharp edge on life, you're vibrant and enthusiastic, and you can achieve lots.
But if your'e blunt, you find it harder to get going, to get enthused, generally things are just that much harder to face, to make you tick.

And one thing, is don't be scared.

You might be thinking  "You don't know what I'm facing.'' and that's right, I don't know, but I know this, God hasn't given you or me a spirit of fear.

God is who he said he is, and he encourages us, when we faultier, in our steps.

ANd do you know what?
He makes sure that we don't do it alone,
If you're wondering if you are alone, tell God, my friend, keep him to his word, if everyone else is not treating you right, tell God, tell him everything.

God is a good God.

How do I know that?
Well I do because he is made in my likeness, he has made me, yes incomplete, brain damaged, quirky, some people really don't like me, some people probably can't even work with me, but i'm not working for them, I'm working for God.

Yes God gives and takes away, yes he does give us a time of grieving, and yes it's painful, in the valley of tears, but he also brings joy, a time to love again, a time to say to something, or someone, yes you're special, a time to carry on, but we don't carry ourselves, we carry God in us, the Christ child who died for us.
God didn't have another Jesus, to die for us, he only had the one, he isn't a deposable God, he isn't just a catch me if you can type God.
He is the only true God that knows you so amazingly well, probably better than you know yourself.
He knows why you're crying, when you feel ok, but tears come, he knows the day you've had, the hour of pain, the if only days.
He knows that more than you know yourself.

And last but not all the least.

God doesn't parent his kids like our earthly parents.

He isn't if you're good, you will get this treat or that thing.
He  is the only 3 in one God.
The son of God,
The spirit of God.
The hope of all creation is in us.

And that hope is, made complete when we finally give up proving ourselves, to other people, and made complete in him.
So whatever you're doing, what ever tangle you might be in, Know that God is there in the middle of it.

And that you're not in the tangle alone.

Don't be afraid to dream big, in fact, make room to dream big.
