I went back to my old junior school and led the assembly.
I spoke about how I had a dream that I thought was impossible to ever achieve and how with God I lived my dream of working with people in Brazil.
I wanted the children to realise that with God we can achieve things....that even when everyone else tells us its too difficult, or you are not clever enough, you cannot afford it, you are not suited for that etc....with God our dreams can become reality. We need to seek God and find joy in Him and have a relationship with Him and trust him with what I believe are the dreams/desires He gives us.
I just pray the children left that hall inspired, encouraged but also challenged to hold onto their dream, give it to God and then trust that it will happen....
"Take delight in the Lord, and He will give you your heart's desires"
Psalm 37:4
By doing this assembly it made me realise just how amazing it is to trust God and give Him your dreams, and to see how they grow bigger than I could ever imagine. Part of my dream is to teach others about a life with God and Jesus as their Saviour....and well I have been teaching people, I taught 360 children this morning about living a full life by trusting God....exciting!!
Our dreams, desires, passions will look different from person to person, and even different to God - He knows more that we know about ourselves and what are are truly capable to do with God....
Just a thought....What would your life look like if you took delight in the Lord, and then started living out your heart's desire?
yay! so excited for you :) another step in the right direction.. you go girl! xo
