dream?

You have a dream. What is it?  What's that thing that you know God is asking you to do... today, 3 months from now, 3 years from now... What is it you've seemingly always had a passion for, but never really saw a possibility of getting there?   It's not that the road is not there, it's that the road is full of distractions and obstacles.  What distractions are up in your life?  For me there are things that like to eat up my time, which in essence take time away from what is the most important.  Of course distractions are things that we like to do or they wouldn't be distractions!  Obstacles are a nuisance and no real fun to deal with, but part of reaching ahead to accomplish what we are passionate about.  In reality over coming distractions & obstacles grow our passion like a rain storm grows fields of flowers.  Overcome to open the gift of victory, God loves helping us along this path!

Take Nehemiah for instance. He had both distractions and obstacles all along the way of getting the wall rebuilt.  The Babylonians tried several ways to trip him up, & in one instance he sent a reply to a distraction.  "so I sent messengers to them with this reply: "I am carrying on a great project and cannot go down. Why should the work stop while I leave it and go down to you?" (Nehemiah 6:3)  Perseverance & passion at its best!
