Encourage, Support the Dreams Around You

We all mold one another’s dreams.
We all hold each other’s fragile hopes in our hands.
We all touch others’ hearts.

It is true that we help to shape and mold another’s dreams and aspirations. A nod of approval, silence, or an excited smile and exuberant expression of what the realization of the dream may look like all contribute or detract from the confidence with which one allows the dream to flourish.

When hopes are shared… they are laid out on a table bare for view as a small plant just starting to bud. If the life-giving sunshine it requires is withdrawn, it will wither away, never realizing the glory of the full bloom. We can provide that life-sustaining light or adversely cast a shadow upon someone’s hopes. It is a tenuous, trusting moment within which they have been shared and we must respect the privilege and be gentle in the care of it.

So… today, with fear and trembling along with wild excitement at the possibilities I encourage you to – right where you are – revisit your dream. Share it with a trusted friend… and GO FOR IT!!!!

A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another. John 13:34


I’m rooting for you!

Here I Am Before You Lord

There is so much activity around me these days, sometimes I feel as though I'm in the midst of a whirlwind of good news, uncertainty, tragedy, mishaps and great delights and hillarity. This week has been a mixed bag for certain! Weeks like these leave me seeking a block of time to simply spend on my knees in worship and communion - sorrow, joy - a heart's cry.

"And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead." Revelation 1:17

During times of deep worship it is as though I've touched His garment in the crowd and His peace, joy, love and life have washed over me. I pray this for you today. May you experience a new level of worship, peace, joy and life today as you seek His face.

I hope this helps:http://www.godtube.com/watch/?v=DY667GNX

Attitude - noble

Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable – if anything excellent or praiseworthy – think about such things. Philippians 4:8

What is noble that we should think about? The dictionary defines noble as high-minded, magnanimous, loftiness of principle, character, mind or spirit and consistently adhering to elevated principles – a greatness of mind or soul. Wow!!! Is noble, then, expecting the best of ourselves and seeking out the best in others and the situations around us? I believe it includes such things as elevating lunch room talk…and others. I believe it includes admiring and being grateful for the beauty of each day, writing, art, and music that elevate us to a better place so that we are encouraged and in turn encourage others toward making their mark… living today on purpose.

I continue to look for the noble today…so grateful for the opportunity to lift another along the way.

Have an awesome – day focusing on Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable – if anything excellent or praiseworthy – think about such things
