Follow your dreams!

So many people fail to dream big dreams and follow them...of course the first thing said when I suggest this notion of dreaming is..."What about doing what God wants?" ..Why do these 2 things have to be oppossing ideas? If we are following God and His word and are working hard to grow in the knowledge of God then we should trust that those dreams are a reflection of Gods Will. Isn't he the one that gives us the desires of our hearts? If He has given us a desire or strong desire for something then we should trust that and go for it! I believe this is much like Eric Liddles feelings about racing and his sister needed to learn that his dreams were part of that will. I have never seen this movie above but I love the part about following your dreams. I so want my children to DREAM BIG DREAMS and when haters discourage and everyone thinks the dreams are stupid or far fetched seek the LORD and go for it!!!

surgery tomorrow

It is the Lord who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not fail you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed. (Deuteronomy 31:8)

I am posting this for my non-facebook friends in Florida and elsewhere...

I have had a lot of issues lately with my lower teeth...mulitple abcesses and 2 root canals and still there is something not right that I pointed out to the dr last week.After she did some indepth exrays it was discovered that I have a very large tumor growing in my jaw bone under numerous teeth. she said she really didnt like how this looked and sent the exrays to an oral surgeon and they scheduled me right then for removal of the tumor tomorrow at 12:45. They will drill through my jaw bone in several places and have to dig out the tumor which is actually growing inside the bone...I will be awake with gas and valium...I will have stitches in the front of my jaw as well as the backside of the jaw.
I have spent much time reading scripture and praying and I do not believe at this time that I am anxious as to the outcome of the biopsy but I AM DREADING the pain that will follow this surgery. I am so thankful for this scripture above and I am sure I will be reciting it when they turn on the bone drill YIKES! I am so thankful for the peace that can only come from God...what a wonderful friend he is indeed...I am so thankful for the countless songs that I have been taught at Clifton they are ringing in my ears constantly...As we also mourn the death of our beloved worship pastor (more on that coming) his voice and the things Chip Stam taught me thru his life and death are so close to my heart this week and too numerous to list. I will include some of the songs that he taught me that I cant stop singing this week and when I am recovering I will compile some thoughts from me but from so many others as to how this man changed their life...Thank you for your prayers!
