I attended Pure Joy this year!  After leaving the event I realized that I am blessed to be in an area and apart of a community that cares so deeply for one another.

I keep trying to figure out what I took away from the night.  How did it impact me?  What was God trying to communicate to me through Pure Joy ’13?  Was I allowing myself to listen?

The one thing that keeps sticking out in my mind was the question they offered, “What is your Dream?  Why aren’t you pursuing it? What’s holding you back?

What is my Dream?  What is the one thing God is asking of me, asking me to pursue for Him?  I can’t wrap my mind around one idea, one dream.  I can feel it’s right there but I just don’t seem to be able to understand it, grasp it.  I can’t put it in words.

Proverbs 16:9 reads : In his heart a man plans his course, but the LORD determines his steps.

I find myself waiting.  Waiting for this – Waiting until that happens. I’m waiting to dream.  Waiting until I’m settled.  Waiting until I’ve grown deeper in my walk with God.  Waiting until I know the Bible better. Waiting.  Waiting. Waiting.

Why do we feel like we need to have all our junk together before we can act?  Why is it that we think we need to have what the “world” says you should have, instead of leaning on the God’s truth.  It’s just not the way I want to continue to live.

I will not wait anymore.  I will not wait for this and wait for that to happen before I start dreaming.  But, beyond dreaming I will ACT! Anyone can dream but not all act.  I believe God does not ask us to dream without asking us to step out, have faith and trust Him.

So, here I am.  Ready to dream and ready to act.  All I need to do is listen to the One and ask what He wants my dream to be! I’m asking Him to direct my steps.

– Thank you Pure Joy, for serving my community.  Thank you for serving the women in this world!
