We All Have dreams !

Everyone of us has desires, dreams, inside of us! We may not always voice them to everyone, but God sees them. I believe he even puts some of them there. We all have had different starts to life, some may of had more encouragement to pursue things in life or others may not of had any encouragement from others that provoked you to even consider them. That may of left you comparing yourself to others and feeling like you were not smart, or even important! So you went through life just coasting and not tapping into those desires, until one day God started bringing them to the surface and reminding you they were there.

They may be just small things right now, but they are "important" to you, sometimes we tend to look at dreams and desires the way the world has put them out there, with all the glam and money! I'm not saying that can't happen, you have to start believing and its a good place to start, to get you to bigger ones!

This scripture in the book of  Romans 4:17- The God who gives life to the dead and calls things that are not as though they were. Right there this scripture tells me, if you think those desires or dreams are buried or dead, think again, God can bring them to life!

You just have to start seeing it, picture it, its the starting that's important! Its important to take the time to spend time with God and pray into them.It starts with "saying" what you see and release your faith in those area's!  God wants so much to give us the desires of our heart, he really cares for you,you just have to see and believe it!

I can testify to this in my own life, I went through a divorce about 16 or so years ago. It was not the way I thought my marriage was going to end up, or my desire, no one person says hey I'm going to get married only to get divorced. It was his choice and his decision, one at the time I was truly heartbroken with! I choose to trust God and with much pain and heartache He brought me to the other side with His Amazing Grace, and I came out, without feeling like a "victim", only God can do that when you trust Him.

I am saying this to  testify how God cares about all of our desires and when we trust Him, desires and dreams to come to life!It was  about four years after my divorce, the  desire started to surface in my heart  that I may consider marriage again !
At the time I heard a teaching, it was about Boaz in the book of Ruth in the bible.The way she described this Boaz and his character, I was so drawn to this person. I said OUT LOUD, Lord God that's what I want, so I added it to my vision list. She spoke and said to write out all your dreams and desires down on paper, and I saw that in scripture as well. So that's exactly what I did, I started writing down all the things in a man I would love to have. We all have our list, one character trait that was really"important", was to love God and  to have a relationship with Him the way I so desired. The other thing that was very important to me was that my son who was about 17 at the time would like him! I am not sure of the time I prayed this to the time it happened, it could of been several months, but it did happen quickly! I had no idea though I just had to trust Him!


I left that in God's hands, and in turn I thanked him and praised Him that He heard that prayer and desire!
I was sitting in church near the back and out of no where I heard in my Spirit, IT WAS NOT A VOICE LIKE WE KNOW. I just wanted to clarify that. It was so loud though in my Spirit with these WORDS, HE'S THE ONE! I turned to my left and right and thought to myself what was that. I knew it was Holy Spirit, I didn't doubt that!

I also knew the person who he meant, it is the man I am married to today! At the time I had seen Geoff at church didn't know who he was or even his name. I didn't look at him in that kind of way, all though he is handsome! I just mean that we think we know what we want when we look at the outside of a person and say oh he's cute I like the way they look, you know what I mean, we all have done it.

The thing is I KNEW IT WAS HIM,  I cant explain it but I knew it was him! I didn't tell anyone at the moment because I had to process this myself, nothing like this ever happened to me before. I did tell my niece  shortly after, she did do a little investigation, like finding out his name. I would be at church and  I started to notice him in a different way, I was finding myself being attracted to him and wanting to talk with him.

 It wasn't until our church picnic that we actually had our longest conversation and from there we went out as friends to get to know each other. I never told him at first what had happened to me how God presented all of this! One night near Christmas we went to an out of town Christmas dinner, at a church he had attended a few years before. While driving he shared how the Pastor there prayed for him and had a word for him!This was the word , that he was like "Boaz" I turned my head so quickly to look at him, and then just looked straight out the window in front of me and didn't say one word! I thought Lord God this is exactly what I asked you in pray. This man "Boaz" was a man who had a heart to see people be the person they could be, and help them get there!

I just kept all these things in my heart at first ,but it  was the Lord that just kept confirming all these things to me that I had written down, and it was blowing me away!
So as time went on we finally shared everything to each other and we knew that God had brought us together. We went out for 2 years, that was me, I'm a procrastinator, we have been married coming up in September 20th 13 years! I have been truly blessed with such a awesome Godly man and he is truly a Boaz, with a heart for people! This is a desire come true, I know my son respects him as well, which I might add was on my list as well!

I believe a  person with no vision or dreams, or desires will return to there past! You may not have what you need in the natural right now, but you are not without the seed to produce it, the Word of God and the promises in this book! SO SEE IT, SAY IT, and TAKE IT ! What you see on the inside becomes bigger than you see on the outside, its only a matter of time before it happens. Trust and and have faith God will bring it to pass !

I want to encourage anyone who reads this, don't let go of those desires only you know about, don't throw them aside because you were hurt or disappointed. I could of chose to give up on marriage,  and said who needs it. I made a choice to trust a good God, and be a mother to my son at the time, and believe God knew the bigger plan. He resurfaced that desire in me to want to get married again, and the way He put it all together to this day still just brings tears to my eyes. Always remember how much He LOVES YOU !!
