Welcome to God-sized Dreams!
We’re so glad you’re here! We extend an invitation for you to step on board and set sail with us. While we’re not certain what the journey will look like, we are certain of the God who calls us.
We believe one of the ways we see God’s glory is in a community. And where better to nurture those callings God has laid on our hearts than in a community of God-sized dreamers? Whether you’re excited and ready to charge full speed ahead or terrified and looking for a bed to hide under — or maybe even somewhere in between — everyone is welcome!
And this is a letter from our founder, Christine Wright:
My name is Christine. I’m a 40-year-old married mom of four. I don’t know that there could be a more unlikely person to be writing this page. I’ve not been to seminary. I’m not the daughter or wife of a pastor. It wasn’t until my freshman year of college that I met Jesus and it took me many years beyond that to trust Him with everything. Sometimes I think, “Oh God, you really do use the least likely!”
I have, however, been a dreamer my whole life, and this website is one of my God-sized dreams. Though I must admit, it is not something I would have sought out — or ever felt was in line with my gifts. It has often felt too big, too overwhelming, and requiring way too much technical knowledge!
But God.
When He calls, well, you go! {Ok, more like this: I cry, freak out a little, cry some more, then I go! Working on that…}
Long before I even knew what a God-sized dream was, I felt called to speak. That idea was so scary, I couldn’t say it out loud for years. {Truth be told, it still frightens me down to my toes.} But that dream? Terrifying as it is, it at least feels like it’s tapping into a couple of strengths I believe I have.
Launch a website, however? Not even close. The idea that God could give me a dream that’s in any way computer-related is almost laughable. {You’ve heard of road-rage? Well, I have computer-rage.}
And still, somehow God uses the small amount I bring. {And believe me, when it comes to computers — as my husband can attest — it is a very SMALL amount!} He takes that and multiplies it.
He has seen fit to join this amazing team of women — dreamers — to put His plan in motion. Each one on a journey to their own God-sized dream. Familiar with the joys and pitfalls inherent to dreaming. And I can’t wait for you to meet each one!
This team met last year on the God-sized Dreams Team. At the end of 2012, Holley Gerth gathered together a number of bloggers to help with the launch of her book, You’re Made for a God-Sized Dream. It turned out to be much more than any of us could have imagined.
We saw the difference an encouraging community made, and we longed to offer the support we’d found to others.
A place to find encouragement for any size dream. A group of sisters who will stop, drop, and pray when necessary. A website that could remind us of the Truth when the lies seem so loud. A place where dreams set sail. A place where we know our sails are not filled by might or by power, but by His Spirit. {See Zechariah 4:6}
