..believing when you can't see the bigger picture. It is knowing that you don't know where you are headed but knowing that you are going in the right direction.
whew.
THAT is the way God works and although as I have mentioned now probably 1001 times, this is what is happening in front of my eyes. I will never tell you what you should see or believe. Of course, hopefully something I may say, write or teach may help you look at something differently but honestly, I am just here to share, encourage, inspire and teach you creative things infused with and by faith.
I have been dreaming big dreams for a while now but I am still learning how. I know that somewhere in the past I blogged that I didn't think I was worthy or deserved to dream big because of the past choices and decisions I had made and because I was just me, a regular girl. Dreaming big dreams was for other people, more important people.
wrong.
That was ME trying to be in control and not believing that I was forgiven for all that junk. Truth is, I wasn't forgiving myself. God had already done it. I was holding my own self back.
Dang it!
Note to self: We are all allowed, better yet, encouraged to dream big dreams.
Dreaming BIG for me is like trying to "figure out" what my purpose was several years back. You can't just one day say "Hmmm, I think I am going to find what my purpose is by going out with a treasure map to find it." Sometimes we overlook what is right in front of us.
BIG duh.
Same goes for dreaming big dreams.
Things around here in my creative life and mind have been incredibly good, busy and at times a little out-of-control (more than just "at times.") At the same time I am trying to learn new techniques, write new classes, create show samples, schedule workshops, etc. I am trying to dream big dreams when really, as I was reminded just this morning, I have been dreaming for longer than I had realized and it was right in front of me.
This is becoming a "bus throwing exercise"
I came across my dream in a doodle that I wrote/drew on January 21, 2012 in Kelly Rae Robert's online "Flying Lessons" class. It is my reminder that I have been dreaming even when I thought that I did not allow myself. To me, it was just a doodle and I didn't realize that it was part of a bigger plan, until right now.
If anything, today I am here to remind you of the things you already know, just forgot to remember. (including reminding myself.)
It is time for you to forgive yourself for something God has already forgiven you for (that is, if you asked Him and in that case the you have not, just ask and it will be done)
and it is time for YOU to DREAM. Don't hold yourself back. There is a big ol' world that needs dreamers, so make the decision to start today.
