“I don’t think I have a dream in my heart anymore,” I shared confidentially with my friend.
It had started to feel like drudgery.
I had gone to law school thinking I would become some sort of legally licensed social worker type. Superhero cape flying as I leapt in to rescue those in need.
That was before the school loans came due and I realized that a non-profit job wasn’t an option if I wanted to pay them back.
I had some other dreams.
Writing. Planning events. Maybe even, dare I whisper it, speaking.
Life happened and turned and looped and I was happy, mostly. Because I was a happy, mostly, person.
There were family dreams too. Marriage. Children. Both were far delayed beyond anything I imagined. But then they each did, eventually, occur.
So there we sat. My best friend and me over what was probably my zillionth cup of coffee.
Me with absolutely NO room to complain. I had a good job. I enjoyed it and it paid well. It wasn’t my dream, but heck, I didn’t know what my dream was anymore or if I even had one. Not to mention I had a darling, albeit incredibly tired, husband. And we’d been blessed with not one, not two, but three babies.
But my body was all upside down. My bra had stains on it from when I hadn’t had time to pump quickly enough. They lay there in a row, God bless all fairly healthy, with these little monitors tied around their chests at three months old. And I’d gone back to work.
I didn’t think I could dream anymore. And if I could dream, what on Earth would it be now? I had some serious limitations with my career because of financial obligations. I had some serious limitations with my time because of these little people. I had some serious limitations with my imagination because I hadn’t slept through the night in ages.
“What if I don’t have a dream anymore?”
Well, my friend shared wise words much like my now friend Holley Gerth would have shared had she been sitting opposite:
First, this is just a stage. A phase. Don’t put a ton of pressure on yourself to know what’s next in this moment. And second, more importantly, what do you love? What did you used to dream about? What makes you happy? Is there one teeny tiny thing you could do to connect with that childhood or young adult self?
What about you? What do you love? What makes you happy? Would you share your story about what to do if you don’t know what your God-sized dream is here in the link up? We’d love to read your words.

This week we ask, “What if I don’t know my God-sized dream?“
Let’s link up our answers to these helpful questions:
“Take a few minutes to think back over your life and the desires of your heart – even as a child.
What did you really love? What did you feel most excited about?
Hidden within your answers may be the seed of a God-sized dream.”
From Holley Gerth, Opening the Door to Your God-Sized Dream
Share your story on your blog and link up with other God-sized dreamers below.
{For those who don’t have a blog, we invite you to share in the comments or on Facebook.}
Let’s all display the link up photo so we can find each other! (Click here for link)
For the next week, no matter what fear is telling us, let’s take a small step towards our God-sized dream.
We’ll meet here next Tuesday and share our stories!
{Our weekly prompts are taken from Holley Gerth’s devotional, Opening the Door to Your God-Sized Dream.}

Tina Evans says
For years, for as far back as I can remember, I have wanted to help people, in some way. I started going to college to be a social worker. I was not good at school, so, for obvious reasons, that didn’t work. Then I got a job as a secretary in a Real Estate office and obtained my license, I really felt like I was helping people that way, however, when the bubble burst in the market, I was out of a job. What I didn’t realize is I was doing all that for me, not God. He will close doors right and left if you do anything for selfish reasons. Then, what I can only call a God-help, I found a job as a legal assistant with an amazing boss who is a Christian. Through his example, I have watched my faith and my family’s faith grow (among other ways, too many to write here). Eventually I found Mary DeMuth and Jo Ann Fore through Facebook and blog hopping, and truly admire these two women for all they have overcome. So, finally, after years and years of feeling like there was something bigger waiting for me, I have finally realized my dream (at least the start of it, who knows where God will take my little dream) of starting a ministry. So, to those of you who are still waiting, trust me, you will one day realize your God-Sized Dream, and I truly believe, that if you are reading this blog post and these comments, you are closer than you think. All you have to do is be patient and listen for direction from God and remember, He wants you to be at the right spot spiritually at the right time for His work, through you, to start.

Yes!! This: “So, to those of you who are still waiting, trust me, you will one day realize your God-Sized Dream, and I truly believe, that if you are reading this blog post and these comments, you are closer than you think.”
So much closer! It’s always amazed me how many times I’ve been just on the brink – and had absolutely no clue. That’s why those words rang true to me – if you’re taking the time to think about God’s dream for you – then yes, it’s very likely you are closer than you think!!
And yes, yes, yes about the closed doors!! (Of course, that’s not to say that doors don’t close for other reasons as well…)

Oh! I agree with your closed doors comment, Christine. I know, without a doubt, that Satan works here too and if something scares him enough, your door will be closed and if you try and fight it, it will be really hard to open back up.

Gindi Vincent says
So true Tina, that being in the right spot for HIS work. And it’s so hard to see from our little groundfloor view, but you can see it coming together and know He can work even if it looks different than you first (or second, or third) imagined.

Beth says
This resonated with me because most of last year as I read others share about their God-sized dreams, I struggled to understand why I did not know what mine was. Throught it all I kept writing. It has always felt that is what He was calling me to do. It wasn’t until this year when I dared to share my God-sized dream might just be to write a book. And that book would be about finding JOY amidst a difficult year. So when your sweet friend Holly asks what makes you happy? I’m learning day by day. The book may not be written this year, maybe not next year, but for today I do believe this is the God-sized dream He has for me. Thanks for sharing your story with us. I’m not linking up this week but happy to continue to follow along as you all share. 🙂

Delonna @ Clothed in Love says
Beth- I have found that God-sized dreaming is more about the Giver of the dreams then the actual dream. God just wants a relationship with you. He wants you to talk through the dream. He wants to remind you and reveal to you what you are designed to be. The book you write will be a one of kind because it is a reflection of who you are. That is the really cool thing about writing – no one can share your story like you can. Keep writing you never know who needs to hear your story. It could make a difference in their lives. I’m so glad you stopped by.

I’m glad you’re here, Beth! Who knows when that book will be ready and it may turn out to be so completely different than what you have imagined in your head. That’s the fun part of dreaming with God, He loves to surprise us!! 😉

Yes, that is IT Beth. It’s in the faithfulness we find joy and in the joy we see more of HIM revealed and that is when He does His most incredible painting on the canvas of our lives.

Ellen Chauvin says
Well said Gindi! For years I have wondered what my God-sized dream is. I did used to dream as a child, but life happens and I got caught up in the urgent, but not completely necessary. I am waiting and praying for the Lord to give direction to His dream for my life. He urged me to write, so I started a blog. I really don’t know where that will go, but I am enjoying being obedient to His call for this season of my life.
Thanks for sharing, it was beautiful!
Ellen

Ellen, that’s exactly where I started. I felt led to start a blog wasn’t sure why, but after a while of wrestling with God over it I did. I didn’t know I could write or even that I had the desire to write, but He did! As long as you keep being obedient He will show you what’s next!!
Best of luck!

Thank you Ellen. Thanks for joining and it IS in those simple obedient steps that He powerfully works. I had no idea I would ever had a blog when I was thinking this way four years ago, much less a book or speaking opportunities, but when we are faithful to Him in the small steps with our immediate surroundings, sometimes He will just knock us flat over with His big plans… Keep writing!

Janet from FL says
I don’t have time for a link up today, so here goes…. I used 2 of Holley Gerth’s books to help me focus in on my God-Sized Dream. First I used “You’re Already Amazing”, which has questions and prompts to help you find your strengths and what you love to do. This is an excellent book! Then next I used “The Do What You Can Plan”. This gets you started on your God-Sized Dream. It helps you identify small steps to take you in the right direction. Now I know my dream, and I know what steps I need to take. Sometimes I lose my focus. Sometimes I doubt. Sometimes I am afraid to take the next step. That is why I follow this blog — to help me stay motivated! In a nutshell, that is my advice of how to find your God-Sized Dream, and how to start taking baby steps that will eventually make progress. Also, don’t forget to pray about your dream, and ask for God’s help and direction. We can’t do this alone! We need God, and we need sisters to encourage us and give us advice. You absolutely will not regret reading “You’re Already Amazing”. It will give you so much encouragement. You will gain confidence to move past whatever blocks you have now. Go Girl! God loves you already, and He knows exactly who you are.

Janet – I have found using Holley’s books extremely helpful. Focusing on who you were designed to be makes sharing your story easier. These ladies are amazing to build community with. They will cheer you on, pray with you and cry with you if needed. This journey is an adventure and I’m so glad you are hanging in there.

If it weren’t for Holley and the amazing encouragement of the God-sized dream group I would still be floundering. Things started to make more sense and I found victory even in achieving the small goals. I’m so glad Holley’s book has helped you find direction.
I think this is why I’m so excited about this new site, bc I know first hand what a blessing it is to have people root you on and I hope that this place does that for others! You are so right, we can’t do this alone, we need God AND we need each other!!!

I believe our dreams shift with age and circumstances ..I have been saved for over 35 yrs and with life happening and us going from full nest to empty nest . The seasons of my life has taken me to places where I learn more of myself so I can be of service to God in whatever situation I am faced with at the time.
He has taken me to the desert (literally) to live for the past 6 yrs and in this place I have found a whole new dimension of God in my life! I have had time to study the word in great depth and length thru great bible studies. This was not my intend when I came to live here I came here reluctant but have been truly blessed in the process. That is the God i serve one who goes beyond what we could ever ask or think to bless us !

Miriam – you are absolutely right. Dreams make radical shifts! This post was from a period in my life four years ago and I could never have imagined that I would be dreaming SUCH big dreams just a few years later. But God. Despite our “intentions,” He still works through us!

God does not always answer our dreams as we wish at the time we desire…But knowing your story, I can see God has done more and better than you could’ve imagined. He knows what’s best for us and wants what’s best for us. I don’t always live according to this belief, but your story reminds me it is true and I can trust God for more than we can ask or imagine. Blessings friend!
