Be a Dream Builder

We all have dreams, goals and desires. Some of them are given to us by God. He makes each of us unique by putting gifts, talents, and purposes in us. He is our dream-giver and our dream-maker. 

Paige and I share our concerns, goals and dreams with each other. We are able to fulfill some of them on our own. We take the rest to prayer and have seen God fulfill many of our goals and dreams. One by one, we have seen our goals and dreams become reality. Some have not yet become fulfilled, but we have not given up on them. God’s Word is faithful.

In 1997 I sold my 20 year old boat and used the money for home repairs. In 2004 Paige encouraged me to use family inheritance to buy a new boat and truck. Paige had a strong desire to build a new home together. In 2006 we moved into “our” dream home.

Through the process of sharing and praying for each other’s dreams, we have become best friends. And our strongest best-friend relationships will be with those who come along side of us to help us fulfill our purposes and goals. 

Our spouse should (and will be) our best friend as we look to their interests above our own! Our children and new (step) children also have goals, dreams, and desires. Have you asked each child in your new family what they like and long for? 

Praying and focusing on each other’s dreams and desires will unite your family relationships in a great way.

Suggestions:

Begin to share your desires and dreams with your spouse.

Pray for the fulfillment of each other’s goals and dreams.

Ask your children to share their dreams and goals. Pray with them for God to bring them to pass. Some children’s dreams could be unrealistic (mom and dad getting back together if one or both of you are remarried). Help your children to let go of unrealistic dreams, and establish new dreams.

Our Prayer for you:

Father God, we thank You for the desires and dreams You give each of us that makes us unique! Thank You Holy Spirit for Your loving guidance in our lives in helping us fulfill each other’s interests. For Your Glory Jesus!
