In the Company of Dreamers

I'm blessed to live with someone who often reminds me to be radical and live out all of God's dreams for me to the fullest.

Someone who MAKES sure I'm doing what I'm primarily called to do even amidst all the things I find myself doing... who reminds me that even as I'm building and supporting other people's dreams, I must never ever lose grip of my own. And that every gift that God gives me is valued by Him, even if I don't understand how it will ever fit into any conventional church structure.

Someone who takes my dreams and desires seriously, but also knows how to laugh with me at the really silly and ridiculous bits.

***

"We're all looking for someone radical to lead us, but sometimes that radical person is the one staring back at you in the mirror."

Don't stop dreaming. 

Just try! 

Pray about all the places God puts in your heart. How do you know God is not provoking you into wanting it more?

 Write.

You cannot stop preaching, you know! 

Don't forget India. 

Be flexible - you never know how God will change your plans 2-3 years down the line. 

Do you know how many people need to have their stories told?!

Do you know how many other uneducated people are waiting for you to reach out to them?

Exercise your gifts!

If by the time I turn 35, you've done ______, I'll be so happy and fulfilled!

It's not that you're compromising...I think you've just learnt wisdom and grace.

Never stay in a place for anyone. They're not your responsibility.

Just be radical. Don't care about what everyone else around you thinks.


"So nice to talk about your dreams, hor?"
