One of my interns from Teen Mania has a successful photography business in Arizona now with her first baby on the way. She had an article on her blog entitled, "101 Things to Do in 1,001"...it truly inspired me to dream on a grandeur scale rather than the safe zone in which we adults find ourselves living. The size our dreams should be as big as the size of God and we should dare to grow and to expand...to truly manifest the glory of His presence in this fallen world. So Cherinda I dare you. Dream big; don't dream safe and careful dreams. Dare to seek God and watch Him match you and wow you on every level! Love ya--Valencia
I grew up in a small community in Oklahoma. The sunrises and sunsets out there are truly spectacular since it is relatively flat and you can do a 360 and see the whole sky. However, living in the city has its advantages including Wal-Mart and just about any kind of restaurant (fast food or otherwise) that you'd have a craving for. But sometimes, I long for the wide open spaces and the feeling that I am truly alone with God and all his focus at that moment is only on me (because I'm the only one around for miles). Silly, I know, but you are reading the blog of a girl who once played tag with God (literally). We both laughed. I want to live free from fear. I want to try to do the things I have on my heart to do because I really don't want to leave the planet dissatisfied with myself. Who knows how much more I can do if I just have the courage and strength to try?
"I think most people can do a whole awful lot more if they just try. They just don't have the confidence that they can write a novel or they can write poetry or they can take pictures or paint or whatever, and so they don't do it, and they leave the planet dissatisfied with themselves." --Gordon Parks
