God Dreams

Brad sent me a great article this morning on a guy who lost his job, and couldn't find another so pursued his dream of professional bowling. (I know...but it's his dream....). Point being he made $50,000 winning a pro bowl event, more than he had ever made in a single year. The message pointed out that sometimes our secure paychecks can keep us from pursuing our dreams.
Being that God seems to have Brad and I on this journey of putting all our security in Him alone, and letting go of our lives, this was encouraging to me, and all the more when I realize, the dreams I have, come from God Himself, as years ago, I gave Him permission to burn mine, (which He faithfully did, the smell of smoke still lingering in my nostrils even after all these years) along with anything else that wasn't of Him in my life. So in my humanness...I find myself more than a little fearful at times at what I'm doing, but in my spirit, I'm at peace...when I let Him give it, that is. The peace that just doesn't make sense.. ( my translation of the peace that passes all understanding.)
I wondered when we got home how on earth we would find people to help us. I have learned recently that you don't go out looking for them God just has them call you at home on your phone! :-D
The Lord has connected us with someone who heard about our dreams, and feels it is his portion of the job to provide the space for a House of Prayer, (he's already offered temporary housing, free of charge, not even utility payments...woohoo!) and when we told him about calling about a couple old hotels up for sale, he said he had his realtor call about both of them, the same two we were looking at, two days before! So God not only will give you a dream, His dream, He will plant it in others also, and bring you together to carry it out. I have no clue what the future holds....but when I'm standing on this side of the Red Sea....I really wished I could have praised Him ahead of time, on the other side. Trusting and walking by faith is hard....even though at every turn He shows me His goodness. I'm really excited at times thinking about the ways He will show Himself in the coming years....I may scream all the way down, but I'm leaping....I'm leaping.
