Waiting For Our Dreams

I found this post from Chocolate and Coffee. This blog has so many wonderful profound contemplation. My heart broke into zillion of pieces reading this post. For I, like so many common people, have been waiting for my dreams but sometime forget to ask for God's leading in my journey. Even, there were times I don't know whether my dream came from Him or not, but I kept persisting on it.

This post has opened up my insight that anything I do, I should do in Him, for He knows the very best for me!

Dreams. Visions. Hopes. Goals. Sometimes, we have clear direction from God regarding our next steps in life. Sometimes, we have no idea. For many of us waiting for that dream to become real can be an incredibly tough process as we trust God and pray for His will day after day after day. What happens between the dreams dreamed and the dreams realized? LIFE! Between the dreams and the reality of the dreams coming true we patiently wait, NOT, living our lives, remaining faithful to God and His calling, trusting Him to bring about what He would have us to do. We don't stop being faithful, and we can't stop living as if we were literally frozen in time, but we must be patient. For many of us, that is an extremely challenging task.

Every one of us has at some point dreamed a dream that was beyond us, perhaps even a divinely initiated dream. For some, God has fulfilled that dream. For many of us, we are still waiting for those dreams to come to life. Often times we may even become frustrated from waiting for that God-sized dream and pursue a more manageable people-sized dream instead. Maybe the people-sized dreams feel safer because we feel we can accomplish them more easily.
We find the God-sized dreams overwhelming, and so we become creative to find ways to put them aside for fear of failure.

If God has given you a dream pursue it! We should never settle for anything less than what God intends to accomplish through us. We must not allow ourselves to become distracted but consistently wait patiently for the realization of the dreams. I know from experience this is not always an easy task. I am reminded often that God's timing is not my timing.

Between the dreams dreamed and the dreams realized life continues to move forward. What are you doing with that time today? Don't allow frustration and discouragement to alter your God-given dreams. Remain faithful to the call God has placed upon your life and allow Him to use you where you are while you wait for that dream. One day God will let us know that it is time for His dreams to become a reality in our lives. Even though life happens, God still works His purposes out in detail. The path to our dream may not be exactly how we thought we would get there. Just trust God. We have a responsibility to be faithful and patient as His will becomes a reality for us.
