DAY 13 GRATEFUL FOR MY DREAMS

"Dream as if you'll live forever, live as if you'll die today." --James Dean

Following My dreams, and working hard to make them true.

It has been an interesting month to say the least.

The faith I have in God and in me has been guiding me to follow a new path since the old road seemed to be changing and withering before my own eyes ... but I was not afraid! In fact, I am a grateful woman ... very grateful.

Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear--not absence of fear." --Mark Twain

My life in recent years seemed like a season of transition. I received many surprises and discouraging news.

Time slipped slowly until I began to allow myself to dream seriously.

I prayed and I dreamed a little more. God showed me glimpses of what my future was like.

"All progress takes place outside the comfort zone." --Michael John Bobak

I prayed again, but this time for patience in the wait. Piece by piece, the beginning of the dream became my reality. My heart opened to receive the gift that God extended in the process of embracing the next step.

I believe in God, in His promises and in me. But first, I gave myself the opportunity to dream and trust that these dreams will come true.

It was almost 2 years of great challenges, with my health, my finances, the love of my partner that I lost and my friendships that disappeared, as if by magic.

Honestly, I thought I could never say these words:

'THANK GOD ... BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN BORN AGAIN! "

After a severe crisis with my health, praying and crying I asked God knees to help me, because my health was deteriorating and I felt a very fragile woman.

I said: 

GOD IS VERY HEAVY MY BAGGAGE ... I CAN NOT DO MORE, MY LORD!

And I also told him:

TEACH ME TO LIVE AND WALK IN FAITH ... BECAUSE IN MY FORCES ... I DO NOT KNOW HOW I DO IT!

I made the commitment to see with the eyes of God and not mine.

Faith is the bridge between where I am and the place that God is taking me.

I began to dream about my health, and I felt it was reality.

I began to dream of great income possibilities, and I felt it was a fact!

I began to dream of everything I had lost: the love of a partner and sincere friendship ...

And I felt that I was recovering everything, even though in reality, everything looked different!

At this time they began: My 365 days, walking hand in hand with God.

The reason for our faith is not something that is based on nothing, it is something that has a firm base ...

During this process, to walk by faith, I began to make many changes in my life, to make many affirmations and to see my life from another perspective.

I'm seeing how those dreams, have life and are becoming reality!

"All our dreams can come true if we have the courage to pursue them." --Walt Disney

The blessing of dreams is a gift that we give to ourselves. It is our invitation to God to develop the deepest desires of our heart.

"Happiness is a butterfly, which when pursued, is always beyond your grasp, but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you." --Nathaniel Hawthorne

Prep the fields for upcoming planting. They know that it’ll be awhile before the next harvest, that there’ll be plenty of hard work before the harvest, and that the better they prepare for the harvest, the better that harvest will be.

So farm on, dreamer. If you’ve seen your harvest and are wondering what on earth to plant next, remember the cycle the farmer follows. Before the next planting season, analyze what worked and what didn’t, perform needed maintenance and prep the fields. When your fields are ready, God tell you exactly what to plant and when your harvest will be ready.

EXERCISE # 13

Write a list of your dreams.

Answer these questions honestly.

What excuses are you doing?

What lies do you believe?

What are you saying about your dreams?

Why have you stopped believing?

What do you need to make your dream come true?

No matter what your dream is: being fitter, having a balanced budget, writing more, building your business, talking. No matter how big or small ... It's worth investing in your dreams. You're worth it.

On the one hand, it was amazing to see my list of goals and dreams reduced one by one, while I struggled to do the following, even if it was difficult.

I continue in the process, but I will never stop dreaming, trust in God and in me.

I have had this list of dreams the size of God forever.

I am doing the part of the work that corresponds to me. And I am letting God act freely in my life.

With great attention I observed how God brought the harvest I had wanted for so long and He answered my prayers to achieve each objective. And I could again feel how life fills my lungs with air and drives me to continue.

What I know now is that God really knows what is best and that his plan is really perfect, even if I have difficulty seeing it today.

The No. 1 reason people fail in life is because they listen to their friends, family, and neighbors." --Napoleon Hill

So throw those excuses to the sidewalk. Silence the negative people in your head.

Go forward! You and God…you’ve got this... And do it today!

Take a small step towards your dream. I am colliding with you at this time. I believe in you. You can do it.

Remember:

God’s not finished with us yet!

Before going to bed, thank God for the best things that have happened during the day.

THANK YOU for sharing this 13-day challenge with me!

May your day be filled with sunshine as you move in the direction of your dreams.

I love you and I bless you with all the blessing.
