What do God-sized Dreamers do FIRST?
NOTHING.
Yes, you read that right. Nothing. Having a God-sized dream, acknowledging that you’ve heard a call on your life requires a particular kind of obedience. (<==== Click to tweet) It’s been my experience in taking this faith journey with my dreaming sisters that as a group, we tend to be goal-oriented, driven, self-motivated folks, the type inclined to try new things and bring them to completion. At various levels, with differing motivations and experiences, we are the go-get ‘em types that get things done. However, it is also my experience that the thing God-sized dreamers achieving their dreams have in common is this…early on, they do NOTHING.
Why? There are several reasons. One, simply acknowledging the existence of a dream planted by God within the deepest part of you that you are choosing to embrace and pursue is a scary thing. Moving forward demands right orientation…right relationship with God, as described in Isaiah 55. That does not mean that those “goal-oriented, driven, self-motivated…go-get ‘em types” start moving ahead with a plan, no, quite the contrary. These are planning people. But what they are more than anything…what you are more than any other thing, is prepared to SURRENDER. The first thing to do in pursuit of that God-Sized Dream is aptly described by Mimi Dixon,
“In the uncertainty and suspense of not knowing, we learn to keep our eyes wide open, scanning the horizon of our experience for evidence of God’s leading. Like Noah we may have to do this for a long time before at last a spring sprig signals that there is land ahead. Like Paul and his near-sinking boatload, we would be wise to feast ourselves again and again on signs of promise and hope even as we are tossed about on the sea of not knowing.”
It would be easy/normal/expected to be overwhelmed by not only the enormity of having a dream, but knowing what to do first when God calls. And that is why we rely upon God. Paul gave us goodly counsel when he wrote to the church at Philippi,
being confident of this, that He who began a good work in you
will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. Philippians 1:6 (NIV)
So, here is your next assignment. Say it aloud. Confess to someone you trust, someone who loves you, someone who might laugh BUT will then embrace you and high five you at the same time. Confess that you suspect God is leading you somewhere and that you think you ought to go along. And then, like Noah, scan your horizons for evidence, seek out signs of promise, pray without ceasing. That’s it. Do NOTHING, until you hear next from God. It won’t take long, for Our Father moves at the speed of Light. Be confident, because He who placed that dream within you and nurtures that burning desire WILL carry it on to completion.

Amen! Oh, girl, this is a part of dreaming that doesn’t get talked about a lot, and it is so important. Thank you for these inspired words. I clicked over to read in Isaiah and was so fed. 55 is a significant number to me, and this chapter of Isaiah is simply nourishment. Hugs to you, sweet Chelle!

Satin says
Chelle, This is SUCH confirmation to me! Thank you for sharing this truth! I agree w/ Mandy, this isn’t something people talk much about when discussing dreams, but it’s vital to our walk of obedience. The waiting period can be difficult for us planners who like to know what’s next/up ahead, but it’s in the waiting period that God molds us, makes us, and moves mountains for us. Thank you oh so much for this!!! ♥

Peace and good to you in Jesus’ name.

Valerie,
AMEN. Waiting stinks. I have found that waiting, stillness before Him, are my sacrifices of praise. I remind myself that nothing good comes without a birthing, which usually takes both time and some pain.
Dream on, Valerie, dream on.
In peace,
Chelle

Makeda says
I LOVED this on so many levels. The waiting and doing nothing is soooo hard to do but oh so necessary. Doing nothing is hard for me so I end up trying to make something happen only to get frustrated in the process. Funny thing though when I wait on God and trust His timing for things, it always works out so much better than I ever could have planned. Thanks for these words today. I need the reminder.

Chelle says
Makeda,
I find that it is just beyond the moment of my stillness, when I have finally quieted my body and my mind, is the point at which He moves, and FAST. Like you, I have learned that when we wait, things “always works out so much better…” in a way where we are clearly reminded that all things, ALL THINGS work together for the good of those who love Him, and are called…so worship in that stillness, praising Him in advance.
Can’t wait to hear how your dreams are progressing.
Never stop chasing Grace and Peace,

Rosanne says
When we wait on God, that is when our strength is renewed, and who doesn’t need strength for these God-sized dreams? This it the real side of dreaming with God – waiting for Him to reveal our next step. Thank you for these manna words – words that give us nourishment as we wait in the wilderness for God to lead us to our Jordans.

Oooohhh…I just now sat down to read this. Such good words. Preparing to surrender is the part that stuck out to me…I think I might still be there a little. Mostly because I see part of my dream changing, and it’s time to just open my hands and let Him have it. Now to say it aloud. Yes, I will. Soon. 🙂 Thanks for this, friend…your words really spoke to me tonight.

Wait, I say…wait upon the Lord. Throughout this post I heard this, as if ringing and rising over the cliff pictured above. This is beautiful. Our first job is to do nothing. Amen.

Lisha,
“They that wait…” (Isaiah 40:31) is one of my favorite scriptures. What a blessing to hear what others do through your words.
Thank you, sweet sister.

Alexis,
So glad this spoke to you. I am probably worse at waiting than most other things in my life….but God.
Keep pressing towards your dream.
Never stop chasing Grace and Peace,
Chelle

Dear friend, you had the words I needed again (are you sure you don’t live in my head?). I read Isaiah 55 this morning–again and again, and I wrote in my prayer journal, and asked for the peace to wait and for the openness to listen (this time). I’m so needy right now, and those words: Come to the water all who thirst and come to the feast, all who are hungry (my paraphrase)–I need just to wait and to eat and drink the word of the Lord for a season. If Noah can ride out forty days of the flood, then I can ride out this season.
Thank you, Sister!

Chelle says
Liv,
Be needy. He desires that you would seek Him, hiding yourself in Him; drawing close and seeking Him desperately. Thank God the words poured through me when you needed them most, to God be the glory. Know that my prayers fly to heaven on your behalf…we’ve leaned on one another many times, and this time will be no different. We are not alone, we never have been, and we are made strong through Him in our weakness. It’s okay, and it’s going to be okay, I promise. More than me, He Promised.
Love you sister.
Stay in faith.
