For 2 years now, God has been tugging at my heart to start something.  At first I wasn’t sure what it was but I spent the time in prayer and seeking Him.  I started to write everything down.  I had journal upon journal of thoughts, prayers and random ideas.  As the journals piled up God began tugging again.  What he was asking was a very scary request.  He was asking me to take a step of faith.  To take a leap to a level of vulnerability that , even as I write this post, make my stomach turn and I feel like I could throw up.  For the last 6 months I have fought this blog.  I had excuse after excuse of why it was a horrible idea.  The “What Ifs….” began to cloud my mind and I became content to ignore the request.  Life went on as usual and I felt like all was well.  Thankfully God would not allow me to forget.  I would have dreams, words spoken over me. Even random people comment about a blog.  To some it may have seemed like a coincidence  but I knew better.  God was still speaking to me through all avenues.  Reminding me of the dream he spoke to my heart.  Through countless tears and prayer and conversations, I decided to take the step.  I decided that God’s call is greater than the “What If’s…”.  I am taking a step away from fear and walking towards living a life of dreaming with God no matter what the cost.
