I often think about my life in the past in awe and wonder, how blessed I have been and how amazing God truly is.  I live my life in the now, which I think is very important

Matthew 6:30-34

³⁰If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? ³¹So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ ³²For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.³³But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. ³⁴Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

However we must dream and we must set goals in our lives, dreams and goals help us grow and feel fulfilled in God’s glory and creation.  If we don’t dream or don’t set life goals it makes life very easy to become a cyclic redundancy where you go to work, you come home and watch tv, you eat dinner, you watch more tv, you go to sleep, wake up, go to work and the day starts all over again.  I think dreams and goals are very important, for most of us it’s what drives the very nature of our minds; sets up the stage to accomplish amazing things.  Having dreams and setting goals is important but why not take it a step further, what if we had dreams and set goals and involved God into those things.  What if we prayed about them and asked God to help those dreams and goals become a reality.  And furthermore, what if we ask God to help us create new goals and dreams, involve God in them.

God, show me your creation and power, give me the desire to do things that are unimaginable and only possible through you, I know not where to start but I know you can show me the way, I ask this of you please, show me the way and help me see what you have meant for me to see.

Ask yourself this: When was the last time I asked someone, a good friend, family member or fresh acquaintance, “What are some of your dreams or life goals?”.  Before this last week I don’t remember the last time I asked someone that, and why not!?  In prioritizing relationships and loving all I think we have an obligation, not only that, but we should desire to help others achieve those dreams and goals.  By talking about them is one step in helping them become real.

I hope you will not only think about what your dreams and life goals are and even write them down, blog them, journal them, sticky note them, whatever, but knowing your dreams and goals are very important in achieving dreams and goals, wouldn’t you say?  I also hope you will ask others what their dreams and goals are, help make them more tangible and non theoretical, let’s make our dreams and goals a reality and let’s involve others in them.
