God Sized Dreams: Joy

God Sized Dreams

When the words bring tears and there is something inside my heart that heals a little.
When she comments that those words? They were the ones God wanted her to read today.
When the email finally arrives, a door opens, an offer extended.
When she walks up to me at work and says that my words? She can’t stop reading them.
When he tells me that this? This place? It’s my ministry.
When I waffle over whether what I write is good or awful and she tells me she struggles, too.
When my sweet God Sized Dream friends stop by and cheer me on.
When I can find words that encourage you, brave friends.
When God reminds me that He redeems. Refines. Renews. Restores.
When I can hug necks of friends met online in real life.

These things? They bring me joy. 

What brings you joy in your journey to your God Sized Dream?


I’m linking up with Holley Gerth today – will you join me in reading the other God Size Dream team posts?

    Crystal, you are precious. Your comments make me feel welcome and invited and loved. And you don’t even know me. Meeting you here again brings me joy.

    I’m with you, Mary. I have no idea what my dream is either.

    Crystal, your words are lovely. The hugging is always good.

    You are in your sweet spot friend. You are being energized and strengthened by this pouring out that you know is your calling. It’s beautiful to watch!

    Sweet post. I have to admit that discovering the online portal of Christian women in fellowship via blogs, twitter, and facebook. Has been a phenomenal discovery for me too! May you continue to be richly blessed by your words, God’s Word, and the Body.
