Don't Let Anyone Kill Your Dream

It is amazing how heated a conversation can get when you start discussing dreams and goals for your life. What I mean is, I was having a discussion today with an old boyfirend about what I want to accomplish in my life now and in the future. When I started sharing some of the deepest desires of my heart he instantly became critical. He wanted to make it a point to remind me of the things that I don't currently possess or the resources he assumed I couldn't obtain.



I really didn't get angry with him. I felt bad for him honestly. The reason I felt bad for him is because he obviously never mastered the art of imagination as a child. I have. I have a vivid imagination. I dream in color, not black and white. I strongly believe in the biblical verse Habakkuk 2:2-3 "Write the vision and make it plain on tablets, that it may run who reads it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it will speak and not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it because it will surely come. It will not tarry." NJKV



I have written alot of dreams and visions on the tablets of my heart and I refuse to allow any man or woman to kill them no matter how outlandish they may seem to them. Sometime you have to risk looking foolish for your dream. I guarantee once the dream comes to fruition, that same naysayer will be in total amazement. Seeing your dreams through requires a certain level of tenacity. They definitely require alot of faith, perserverance and patience. This gentleman really made me stop and think of how much more guarded over my dreams and visions I have to become.



I have some gigantic dreams that will definitely take some divine intervention to accomplish them. I am up for the task though. I believe I was equipped for them before I entered the earth realm. I personally believe that God selects certain people to accomplish the great feats that they do. I don't think anyone but Martin Luther King Jr. could have better lead The Civil Rights Movement, nor could anyone other than Mahatma Ghandi have made the changes he did in India. Think of Mother Teresa, Rosa Parks, Joan of Arc, Martin Luther, and countless others. They were given a dream that was far larger than their being, but it was accomplished.



The main thing I am going to resolve in my heart is be careful who you share your dreams with. Everyone isn't ready to embrace my contribution to the world or don't even believe that I will make that huge of an imprint. I can guarantee that I will make an indelible mark that can't be erased. The more I embrace God's purpose for my life I know I was called to do great things for my fellow man.
