What do you want?
“Now to Him who is able to [carry out His purpose and] do superabundantly more than all that we dare ask or think [infinitely beyond our greatest prayers, hopes, or dreams], according to His power that is at work within us”
I was sharing with my daughter-in-law about what God has been showing me lately and now I feel inclined to share it with you too.
This time of year always puts me into a time of reflection. You too?
A time where I pull out my dream board and take a look again at what I mapped out before the year began. And somehow it always seems to lead me to a new season of dreaming with God all over again.
This year we have expanded some things on our farm as we’ve learned more about homesteading and I know we’ve only just begun to scratch the surface with where else this will take us.
When I think back to my dream years ago to have property again for chickens, I don’t think I let myself dream much beyond that. Yet here we are adding more animals to our farm and working on a farmstand for next summer.
Although I may not have known, God certainly did.
I’d be lying if I said that I wasn’t a bit scared about the future of dreaming with God. For so long, my dreams were about my family and where we would be venturing together while the kids were still living at home. I have not been able to dream pass this season of life - yet.
Yes, we’ve talked about it from time to time, but that is as far as it’s went.
Until now.
It’s as if God is prepping me to begin the journey with Him, because He knows my mama heart is going to need proper time to prepare for the changes that will come during that chapter.
Because here’s the deal..
We have been saying that it’s our dream to have more property and a larger farm someday.
And here’s the truth of how that makes me feel today…
What joy would any of that be without kids to enjoy it with us?
So I began this little dance in dialogue with God.
Me: God - what would you want us to do with more land?
God: What would you want to do with more land?
Me: I have no idea!
God: That’s okay. Just think about it. You don’t have to know just yet.
Me: huh?
And that’s as far as the conversation has went.
To any of you mama’s out there who may be living your best life right now while your kids are still home.
Here’s something for your heart today. It’s okay to dream for what’s next. In fact, He might be waiting for you to do so.
