Keep on Dreaming

By Dan Alderden

As we head toward the close of this year and look toward the opening of a fresh new one, it’s a time to reflect on what 2009 has been and what 2010 can be. It’s usually around this time of year that we examine our achievements, measure our goals & how close we came to reaching them (or not reaching them), rejoice in our successes, but for some, all kinds of emotions can flow through our system as we look at those things that are still in our heart but are not yet a reality in our life. If that’s how you feel, don’t worry, your not alone!

All of us have dreams in our hearts that have not yet been fulfilled but that doesn't mean they wont be. Instead of seeing ’09 as another year where your dreams didn’t seam to happen, see it as a year that God was preparing you for your dreams and that you are closer now to your dreams than you ever have been before!!!

God is a dreamer & He has placed great dreams inside of you. At this time of the year the temptation to give up on your dreams can easily creep in but let me encourage you to do the exact opposite! Instead of giving up & letting go of what has been stirring in you for so long, start to stir it up afresh in prayer & ask God for His wisdom to be positioned in the centre of His will for 2010 so that you can collide with His dream for your life! Start meditating on what life will look like when your dream becomes a reality, re-strategize and make changes where you need to. Most of all, keep trusting in the one who is trustworthy, Jesus! He will never let us down, He will never give up on us so lets not give up on believing that He will come through for us! Remember this awesome promise in 2Cor 2:9

“No eye has seen, no ear has heard,
and no mind has imagined
what God has prepared
for those who love him.”

Don’t miss out on our last service night for 09 this Friday as Dana Hotchkin brings a powerful word! Have an awesome week and keep on dreaming!!
