The Dream Giver by Bruce Wilkinson


Do you have a dream? Does it seem impossible? If so, this is the book for you. My book club will be reading this book. I am excited to see how God will use this metaphoric reading to show us what and who is in our way. God said, When I formed you in your mother's womb I had a plan for you. If you find yourself in a halted position, ready to wave the white flag, this is the book for you. I've read this book several times and each time I feel the wind of God pushing me to be more, do more, and reach for more. We will begin reading July 24th, this gives you time to purchase the book. I frequent www.abebooks.com, because the books are inexpensive. I'm talking $3...inexpensive. My kind of price!

Genesis 37:5 And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it his brethren: and they hated him yet the more.

God's Littlest Angels: Haiti

I woke up this morning with Haiti on my mind. The following are just a few of my pictures from my Haiti trip. I will share more...I'm sure. My life will never be the same. It's a moment I always find myself revisiting. I can't wait to go back!

Matthew 25:40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

That's What She Said Soul Journey

That's What She Said Soul Journey: May 19-26, 2014

I had the awesome experience of traveling to Haiti on a missions trip with 11 other women. I knew this trip would be life changing, but I never thought it would be to this magnitude. Life looks different on the other side of my Haiti experience. I just want to share it with any and everyone, but I'm always left feeling that I didn't paint a picture of what my heart feels. I still look around and think of how blessed we really are to be born in America.

I say that with some reservation and hesitation, because I know I'm blessed, but then I feel spoiled. Do I really need everything I have? Can I do with out some of the "things"? Sure, I can. My desires and wants have now changed. I've learned that less is truly more. During this soul journey I had the opportunity to really reflect on the important things in life. God said he would supply all of our needs. My needs are met! But, how is my character?

We have learned to focus so much on the outward that we allow our character to go unchecked we say what we want, treat people how we want, and do what we want without thinking about integrity. Integrity will keep you when you good looks fail you. You know beauty is failing day by day. Look in the mirror, Baby. You are changing day by day.

So what is important in your life? What is lasting? When you complete your life's book who will men say that you are? As Les Brown stated it's not what you leave for your children that will matter, but what you leave in them.

I know I didn't talk much about my trip. I will come again and share some pictures. This is just something that I've learned and reflected on throughout this soul journey. Please go to the website and you can get a glimpse of where I was and the babies we had the opportunity to love. And...feel free to sponsor a child, make a donation, support the mission, or adopt.
