Carl sleeps like a champion — eight solid hours, no interruptions, probably dreaming in full color with surround sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Me? I celebrate if I get six. And yes — I\u2019ve been known to sneak in a little \u201choly nap\u201d during the day — now and then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And dreaming at night? Rare. If I do dream, it slips away before my feet hit the floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But there\u2019s another kind of dreaming — the kind that doesn\u2019t happen when our eyes are closed — but when they\u2019re wide open.
The kind that shapes a life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If we don\u2019t have a dream for our lives, we won\u2019t have direction for our lives. And it\u2019s no wonder so many are asking, “Who am I? Why am I here? Does my life even matter?” Without a clear vision, confusion fills the space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But here\u2019s what I\u2019ve learned — the clearest definition of who we are doesn\u2019t come from looking inward — it comes from looking upward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
God has already dreamed a dream for you and me — and it\u2019s a good one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jesus said, \u201cThe eye is the lamp of the body\u2026\u201d (Matthew 6:22). In other words, what we fix our eyes on shapes everything. A short-sighted view leads to small, uncertain dreams. But when we lift our eyes to God\u2019s perspective? Oh, everything changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We begin to see beyond today — beyond our limitations — even beyond ourselves. Our dreams start stretching into eternity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And those kinds of dreams? They\u2019re bigger than us. Stronger than us. And yes — impossible without Him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That\u2019s the point. Because God-sized dreams aren\u2019t meant to be achieved by human strength — they\u2019re meant to be walked out in trust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So maybe it\u2019s time.
Time to stop settling for small thinking.
Time to let go of confusion.
Time to ask, \u201cLord, what is Your dream for my life?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Because when we discover that — we don\u2019t just find purpose.
We find peace.
We find direction.
We find life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFor I know the plans I have for you,\u201d declares the Lord\u2026 \u201cplans to give you hope and a future.\u201d (Jeremiah 29:11)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now that\u2019s a dream worth chasing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
