New Years Resolution & Distractions

How many times do we look at January 1st and try to make a list compiled of resolutions of things we need to fix or better about ourselves and our life?

and how many times do we realize that we just write the list but fail to actually complete it. cause it seems to far out of reach?

I believe that there is one resolution should be the most important resolution.

not too difficult and not too easy that it can just happen...

New Year's Resolution #1

DO NOT give up on your dreams!

Phil & I have this huge dream of being part of something big and new. something foreign and something revolutionary for the church.

The dream we have takes alot of money, alot of support, and alot of time and effort. Honestly, it feels like it will take years for it to happen; and it just may take years to happen. But we are not giving up. Constantly, we remind ourselves of "the dream" and "the goal" Sometimes it seems a little overwhelming, but I look back and remind myself that I never came up with this dream on my own, God is the one who placed that dream and if he is the one who planted that dream in my heart, He will be the one to see it through.

The problem is that usually when we make up our resolutions, we get too caught up on the distractions

Distraction#1

There is just no enough time

Distraction#2

I just don't know if I can do it

Distraction#3

It just wont ever happen, so why try?

So my number one resolution is to never give up, even when it seems impossible, or even when I am so tired of it not happening. Most importantly to not focus on the distractions.

Dreams and Dreamers

Phil and I,

we knew that we were really meant to be together because our dreams were to the T the same! and we both felt like it was God who had woven our dreams together.

In the past 8 months its been such a trial time with everything that happened, with all the trials we have had to face, with all OUR plans changed we find that our dream is the one thing we still need to protect and go after. Be ready for something to change Canada!

I want to give an encouragement to those who have dreams...dream big....just because it may seem to huge to ever accomplish it does not mean that you can't reach them! The thing about dreams is that you have to be totally and completely dependent on God. His timing, His way. Why would you have it any other way? because if He is God, HE WILL MAKE IT PERFECT.

Don't be discouraged just because your dream does not happen instantly! Don't give up on the things God has placed in your heart, those things are the most important things that should push us to move forward and thrive to see what God has in store.

I realized that the one thing I love doing and seeing is helping people get their dreams accomplished. Because I know there is just such a peace when you have accomplished something God has asked of you, something that is birthed in your heart.

Go after your Dreams and do not let anything tear them down.
