Yesterday, someone emailed me something about how God can out dream me. That stopped me. I am a dreamer and it is hard to imagine that there could be more than what I can imagine at this point. But the words are there, in my face, as a question:
Are you dreaming big enough?
If Steve Jobs did not dream big then your idea of an Apple would only be something you eat. If Oprah did not dream big we would not have the shows, the book club, the examples of charity.
When I was about 13 years old, I told myself that I could help children that had endured horrific experiences. People asked me what I was doing, why I thought I could do this, or even why I wanted to help kids when it would not be a money-making field. I saw a need and wanted to do something about it.
I was 13.
You are enough. You are smart enough. Your dream is big enough to give it what it is worth and to make it happen.

Pull up those bootstraps and get ready. You are needed to create, to live, to help, to listen, to serve. You are ready to live your purpose and follow your dream.
QUESTION: What is your big dream?
I am linking up to the super witty Jenny Matlock for her alphabet series.

This is a great post :)
I had a big dream and made it happen! But I'm not done dreaming yet :) I would still love to open a B&M shop someday!
Such an inspiring post Erika! I have lots of dreams but I lack for belief in that I can achieve them. I'm working on that though and have grabbed some dreams but have many more to go.
Very nice post. Dreams are what keep us going.
Very nice idea!
I have plenty of big dreams. The trouble is, they depend on another person - my DH. My dreams, I suppose, aren't big, but they are segmented and "creep" along. Guess that sounds kinda strange... {:-D
I'm kinda living my dream being a WAHM. Am working towards making it a long lasting one.
Interesting post. My dreams may be too small -- but some of my past big dreams turned into big nightmares.
beautiful dream book :)
Your art work is lovely!
Inspirational H!
Many thanks for stopping by my blog!
Such an interesting post – great artwork.
Have a great weekend too!
Visiting from Alphabe-Thursday
Working on it here! Great positive post!
My dream and God's dream for me are not on the same directions, but I still dream and when it's time, he will lead me there.
Your ideas are sound, and your canvas creation is amazing!
I don't ever want to stop dreaming! I may fall short of the dream, but I'll get a lot closer to it than if I'd never dreamed it at all. Right now, I dream of working entirely from home. Great post! ~ Maureen
Dear friend,
Everyone has dreams....don't lose yours (smile). Thanks for sharing.
Oh my.
This post spoke directly to my heart.
I was having this exact conversation with my Grandlittles today.
I was telling them they need to make a difference in the world no matter how young they are.
Since they have been hold enough to hold a crayon, I've encouraged them to draw pictures and write 'letters' to people facing illness or being forgotten.
A week ago the 8 year old told me she wanted to participate in the diabetes walk for the son of a friend who passed away several years ago.
She has a plan to do garage sales to make money for the cause.
I am so proud of these lovely girls.
My dream is to teach them to survive and thrive in the world...and to make a difference.
This was a beautiful link.
Hugs and blessings.
And,
of course,
A+++
