dreaming big.

at the (in)RL meetup, we watched a video about God sized dreams. you know...the ones that you have no part in other than sitting passenger seat along for the ride. well, at the end of that video we were asked to share (out loud) our God sized dreams. my sweet friend Emily went first. she shared her God sized dream that we all, in unison, verbally agreed would happen one day. then after she was done speaking...there were....

crickets.

i glanced around the room...when i noticed her looking at me. you see...there have been many a night/afternoon/morning where i have stood at Stacey's kitchen counter going on and on about my God sized dream. so she knew it...and wanted me to share it.

Katie, when sharing her God sized dream, started out by talking about how we don't want to say it out loud. if you voice that dream, and it doesn't happen...what have you become? a failure. which is so true! if you voice it, it has to happen. right?

i know you're wondering...so...did you voice it??

yes.

even thinking about it now makes me cringe....just a little. i want it to come true. i desperately do. but i'm scared. scared that it won't. and why? for goodness sakes, its already been planned out by God...so why be scared? (i'm working on learning to trust and let go of my control...can't you tell)

so. here it is. in all its glory. my God sized dream....should not come as a shock to most of you.

i want to teach in Asia. i want to influence young Asian minds to be Christ minded. to change the course of history in a country that is impoverished and oppressed. God in me. it will happen. it has to.

so, what are your God sized dreams?? please do share! don't be afraid!
