Dreams stop at the word IMPOSSIBLE!

I am married to a dreamer. I LOVE being married to a dreamer... most of the time! 

Occasionally, over the past 20 yrs, I have been guilty of occasionally being a dream squasher! Until I learned how it affects a dreamer. It absolutely deflates them but more importantly, it can hinder what God is wanting to do.  Not only is my husband a dreamer, He is a man of faith and action!

God really does specialize in things man thinks are impossible!

Matthew 19:26 says, "Jesus looked at them and said, ‘With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.'
So if you are a dreamer be careful who you share your dreams with... and if you are married to a dreamer make sure you don't hinder what God is wanting to accomplish! Not only that, do yourself and your marriage a favor and commit to the dream.  Your marriage and ministry will absolutely never be the same.

You are sooo right-- about if you're a dreamer be careful who you share your dreams with. I'm going through a situation right now with a dream-squasher, and it's just not cool. Makes me feel sad that I shared this particular dream with a close female relative of mine who has consistently made comment after comment in an attempt to crush my dream. *sigh* I'm sure she thinks she's treating me with love by "bringing me back to reality" but it's difficult when people argue with you about what God has told you to do. Thank you for your post. Dreamers need reminders that not everyone "gets" their dreams. :)

Be careful who you tell your dreams to!

I went with my son recently to see a production of Joseph and the Amazing Coat at a local community college. As I sat in the dark theater and watched the young men in the production, one of the lessons in the first part of the story hit me fresh and clear. Joseph told his dream to the wrong people at the wrong time. In his naivity, he thought his brothers would rejoice with him when he shared his dreams with them. Instead, it caused their jealous to turn to hatred of him and the favor of the father on his life. Many times in my own life, I have been too quick to share what God is showing me about the future with others. The truth is not everyone is called to share your dreams. There are circumstances and life issues people deal with that get in the way of their ability to 'rejoice with those who rejoice'. Just because you are there for other people does not mean they are capable of being there for you. Wisdom teaches us to wait and be careful about our conversation and 'the

Urgent Prayer Request!

Sunday Afternoon Update: Just got back from my sister's house. I went with her to the doctors Friday and they are aggressively treating her donor host disease with the belief it will allow her lungs and other organs to heal. I got a chance to minister to her and some direction from God in how best to do that now. Thank you all for your prayers! I am asking everyone who reads this blog to pray for my sister, Rachel Batson . She is 39 years old and has a aplastic anemia. This is a blood disorder in which the body does not reproduce blood as it should. Rachel had a bone marrow transplant last year but has since developed graft versus host disease. The disease is in the organs of her body. This is causing the organs to shut down. She especially needs prayer for her lungs. The doctors at Vanderbilt Hospital are saying she only has 2-3 months to live with her lungs as they are. Please pray for: a healing in her body total commitment to Jesus Christ her husband-Billy her son-Trevor peace

God's time is the right time!

This morning I got up ready for my new healthy lifestyle! I drank a big glass of water and took my vitamin, exercised, walked the dog and made a healthy breakfast. As I sat down to eat, a wave of nausea came over me and I began to shake and sweat. After I threw my healthy breakfast in the trash, I realized what had happened: I had taken my vitamin on an empty stomach. No, it didn't make me feel better this morning, but hopefully I won't make that mistake again. Now for the spiritual application.... There is an order for what God has for our lives just as there is an order for taking things like vitamins. This morning, I got ahead of myself. I was so excited about my goal to get healthy that I didn't take the time to remember the basics I already knew. God has perfect timing. I look forward in faith to what He has promised me. I believe with everything in me that this is the year I will begin to see His promises and plans for me fulfilled. He is lining everything up
