Introduction

God-sized dream = A goal—big or small—that fits his plans and your heart.

The coffee steams up from my cup. The chatter of other conversations swirls around me. The baristas are busy at their work.

I’m here to write about God-sized dreams. And a voice within me keeps insisting, “It’s not the right time.”

“You’re too busy.”

“It’s too hard.”

I know that voice. It comes whenever I get ready to take the next step toward what God has for me. Maybe you’ve heard it too?

“When you have more experience . . .”

“When the kids are older . . .”

“When the bank account is fuller . . .”

But here’s the thing: there is no perfect time for a God-sized dream.

God-sized dreams knock on the door of our hearts. We can get so used to the sound that we let them stand outside for a lifetime. They don’t force their way in, insist on being heard, or demand to be pursued.

We have to choose to let our God-sized dreams into our lives. In the middle of the busy. In the middle of the insecurity. In the middle of the fear.

When you open the door of your heart to a God-sized dream, you also open it wider to the Giver of them. That’s what matters most of all. If you long for more intimacy with Jesus, joy in your life, purpose in your days, then put your hand on the doorknob and get ready to turn it.

Will it be a little scary? Yes.

Will it probably be harder than you thought? Yes.

Will it be more worth it than you could have even imagined? Absolutely.

Close your eyes for a moment. Listen not with your ears but with the deepest part of you.

Tap-tap.

It’s there.

A God-sized dream waiting not for the perfect time but for this one—waiting for this moment. Right here. Right now. All you need to do is say "yes" to exploring your God-sized dream one step at a time for the next 30 days.
