Dreams are funny things. Sometimes they just don’t want to let us go. We avoid them and avoid them but still they follow us around whispering in our little ears to let them out. To breathe life into them and make them what they demand to be. Writing is my big dream that follows me around. I’ve just wanted to be a writer from the time I was a little girl, but it seemed so silly, and everyone told me so. So, I did other things that were important, that I needed to do but ignored the whispers. Finally, I decided to listen. I’m so happy I did. Whatever your Big Dream is, trust your heart and trust yourself. God will be there guiding you every step of the way. And the world will be such a better place because you listened.
When a dream weighs heavy upon your heart,
But you’re just not sure where you need to start,
Greet your fear and shake its hand.
Then kindly tell it – you’re in command.
Roll your shoulders and touch your toes –
You know much more than you suppose.
Put on some music if you must
But fill your heart with faith and trust.
Pray to God for His guiding hand.
Then pray that you may understand.
For He’s waiting kindly on your front doorstep
And He wants to guide you step by step.
Then with His help your dream will grow
To something more than you can know.
For He is humble, loving, and kind
And He has what’s best for you in mind.
So, take your dream and take His hand
And let Him help you understand.
Start with a simple thing today
Because simple gets you on your way.
Then day by day as you march along
Your dream will sing a stronger song.
And one day you may wake to find
Your dream has helped your fellow mankind.
And oh, how happy will be that day!
And you’ll be so glad you went on your way.
Trusted God with the dream in your heart
And picked up your courage and made your start.
