I am reading Erwin McManus’s book Wide Awake. He is talking a lot about dreams and dreaming. He commented that God only gets involved in God sized dreams. I have been thinking a lot about that.  I agree with the statement, not because God does not care about all of our dreams; because God does. The fact is that God gives us free choice and free will and it is only in the God sized dreams that we really move outside of ourselves. It is the God sized dreams that require God and cannot be done on our own. It is those dreams where we give up the most control. I am thinking a lot about this right now. I find myself in a place I never expected at this time, and yet I have such peace and hope. It is clear that there is something big in store for me…and now is a time to dream. I have dreamed before but because I have lived so much in fear, I have not dreamed to the level I can dream. I wonder where to start…and wonder if now is the time to dream or to just listen and let God reveal the possibilities. I want to live a life of deep faith and dreaming and see what glorious thing is next.
