I had one of those rare opportunities yesterday that many of us BIG DREAMERS only dream about. I met with this amazing couple who not only believes in one of my dreams, but wants to invest their time, energy and financial resources in it!! When they asked me what I needed from them to help make this dream a reality, I was speechless. Over the years I’ve had many friends and family members invest in my dreams with their time and energy, in which I’ve been so grateful for. Yet for many, many years I (which includes my husband) have been the only one who has financially invested in my dreams.
What I’m forgetting to mention, however, is one of our greatest dreams investors that many of us forget about asking or including. That’s God. He is the greatest dream coach we ALL have available to us ALL the time. He has a BIG dream for your life and is waiting for you to ask Him to invest in your dreams. He longs for us to infuse His dreams for our lives with the dreams we have for our lives.
“Those who come to God with childlike faith must believe that He doesn’t give reluctantly or offer just barely enough, but that He is a wealth of resources waiting to pour out Himself and His blessings on those who ask. He always has more that we need.” – Chris Tiegreen
Take this dream for example. I’ve always dreamed about wanting to make a difference and wanting to make sure that other people know the difference we make in their lives. When I had the opportunity to make a difference in my best friend’s life when her mother was dying, I prayed to God and asked how I could do that. I believe He invested in my dreams as I received the divine inspiration to make a personalized recorded phone line in which people could call in and leave messages of gratitude and appreciation for my friend’s mother. Before she died, she was able to listen to these messages and I have since made them a personalized web site where they can access these cherished messages forever.
Recently this couple shared how they are in a similar situation with a loved one. Again, I prayed how I could help this family and the idea came to do the same thing that I did for my best friend. This time, not only did they want to do it for their loved one, they LOVED the idea as they had wanted to do something similar as well. So this time my divine dream coach connected me with what I needed – their encouraging support – to keep investing in this dream.
I’ll be sure to share with you when this dream becomes an official reality. In the them meantime, don’t forget to ask THE dream investor to help provide you with what you need to keep investing in the BIG dreams of your life!
