I thought I would accomplish much and be rememberred for positively impacting the world, statues built in my honor. I would be a household name. I never accomplished those things, God gave me something (or someone) that exceeded my early dreams. My success is you and your sister. When I was young I dreamed of may successes in my life.

I'll have to add this to DeeperMoments.ca too for sure! Funny that we have differently come to similar thoughts... After being determined that he was to re-entering full-time ministry, my husband's change of career paths in paramedicine as well as a series of events had us both realize that we are exactly where God wants us... in a unique position to pour into many people who are doing amazing things in ministry... we are surrounded by friends in full-ime ministry in various capacities... I too have gotten fired up about my recent realization that God wants to use us to walk alongside and encourage many as they toil away. Many blessings to you in the New Year my friend! Awesome.

You bring such depth to our conversation everytime I see you. Thank you for being more to me that just a "friend". For being an encourager, friend and someone who loves her God and isn't ashamed of it. Love you! Andi, you mean so much to me! You bring such depth to our conversation everytime I see you.

Recently I came to a place where God asked me if He was enough. If all I ever had was Him, would I be happy with my life. As I was humbled and answered Him yes, everything else appeared as such a blessing. My husband, my boys, my family, my friends, my house, my neighbours, my writing. It's like the story of Abraham and Isaac - I really don't like that story - but all God wanted to know was where Abraham's true loyalty was directed. Once God KNEW Abraham was solely devoted to Him and His purposes, He blessed Abraham with descendants as numerous as the grains of sand or the stars in the sky. He's put desires and dreams in your heart for a reason - to glorify Him and to bless you. And for sure He'll show you, when His timing is perfect, what you are supposed to do with those dreams and desires. And it starts with what's right in front of you - your family, friends, your world. Blessings on you today as you go about living God's will right where you are. I totally get it, Andi. Recently I came to a place where God asked me if He was enough.

I am so thankful for the things that God has purposed for your amazing heart! Your encouragement, prayers, words of life and truth have been God-breathed into my life on many occasions. But, I do think that it's ok to still dream about that fantasy wonderland with all of your brilliantly written characters, too! Love this my friend!!
