TAKE A STEP

You have a dream and a burning passion for that dream. Yes, I know you do. It might be buried beneath a pile of 'life happens' but you still have a dream.You might need to rent some heavy duty machinery just to break down the concrete plastered over its tomb, but you still have a dream.

It might be down to bare bones. No flesh. No heart. No blood.

It might not so big but it doesn't look bad either. It might look impossible but you still have a dream. 

Living with thoughts full of "I wonder what could (be) have been" can be devastating.

The good news is your dead dreams are not really dead. Maybe they’re in a coma or  probably crippled, but not dead. Your dream is not dead because you're not dead. It might not breathe exuberant life like it did when you were 15 but it's there and it's calling out to you. Her voice might be a faint whisper or a thunderous uproar. Honestly, it really doesn't matter.

Take a step today. Not tomorrow. Today. Do something now. Just take a step towards your dream. Move closer. Do something... Ask her out, type those words, share that testimony, sing that song, say hi to him, pick up a brochure, make that call, pay that bill, look up adoptions, seek that visa, talk to your parents, go on that date, initiate a conversation. Save that coin... Just take a step. Then take another and another and another. And as you keep moving, look for the most obvious signs that you're coming close to your dream, even when she says no, and you get a rejection letter, and no one likes you music, just smile because you're so close.

No one has ever accomplished anything significant without facing failure and uncertainty. Be encouraged by that fact but also remember that no one has ever played big in God's story without first taking a small step.

God's will for your life is a path of faith. Stop waiting for the heavens to open. He already gave you a dream. Act on that passion. And because God has called us to walk by faith, you're not going to know what the future holds, ever. And until you act, move and take that step, you will never unravel it.  So, just take a small step of faith today. I know it's scary but you can do it through his grace. 

Your dream is not dead but it might need you to take a step today. Take that step today because honestly, it is the only way.
