Dare to Dream

When we are little ones it seems like nothing can stop us from dreaming, we are constantly dreaming, we even day dream; we dream of being a princess waiting in a castle for our prince to come; we dream of being a star; we dream having very own horse. We have many dreams.  But something happens down the line, some of us stop dreaming; some even begin to believe that dreams don't come true.

Well we need to keep dreaming, God wants us to dream; he has poured dreams in us. We are all pregnant with dreams waiting to come forth.

In the Old Testament, there is a story of a little boy name Joseph and he had dreams all the times, he had dreams that everyone would bow to him; his brothers and sisters would bow and his father and mother would bow. No one liked Joseph's dreams, his brothers were so angry with his dreams that they sold Joseph away from the family, believing they would never see him again. 

But there was a problem, you see when God gives you a dream, there is nothing anyone can do to stop those dreams from coming to past. Joseph was sold away into slavery, he was even put in prison, but even though he went through a lot of heart ache and pain, his brothers, father and everyone in that land bowed to Joseph because God raised him up as a Ruler. God brought Joseph's dream to life.

So I encourage you today, dare to dream and believe what God places upon your heart.  It may not happen right away but God is working on it. Take those dreams you have in your heart and start planning. Proverbs 16:9 says:  A man's heart plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps.  

Allow your dreams to align with your purpose; your purpose to align with your action and your actions to align with the manifestation of your dreams. Dare to dream and you will be amazed with what God will do  if you only believe. Dare to Dream.

God is Seeking Warm Hearts!!!



Every time I look at the news and some times even Facebook, I'm amazed how cold people can be.  Its as if they have no heart, almost nothing seems to move them.  They can see the despair and hurt that is out there in the world and turn their heads as if it doesn't matter.

It reminded me of the scripture in Matthew 24:12: And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold. We live in society today that is filled with evil, destruction and wickedness.  Little children are sold by family members into sex trafficking, that's cold; when the boy at school, that you believe is your one and only, reveals that he only wants to pimp you out, that's cold.  Its sad, but expected from those who don't know the love of Christ.

But when the righteous begin to show that nothing warms their hearts, it is heart breaking to God.  When we see a need and turn the other way because we have determined that person doesn't look like they "really" need help, that's cold; when we see the starving children in foreign countries and say, "well that's in other countries, we need to help people in america", that's cold; when we see suffering women and children trapped in sex slavery and say, "I don't believe that really happens, that's cold!!

Fact be told, we have some cold-hearted saints. And God is looking for warm hearted saints that care.  During Jesus' ministry on earth, He was constanly moved with compassion and when He was moved, He did something. He fed the hungry, He gave sight to the blind, healed the sick, raised the dead.  He had an amazing "Compassion Ministry".  John 14:12 says: Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.

God is looking for warm hearts that are reaching out to do more and more each day. Warm hearts serving others that are willing to be the hands and feet of Jesus. I would give up absolutely everything I have to fulfill the commission God has on my life, in many ways I already have. I have come to realize that it is not about going to church, sitting in my seat and serving in those four walls; although it is an absolute must to gather my self in fellowship with the saints.  But it is truly about helping, reaching, caring just like Jesus did!  It's seeing a need and meeting that need!!!

We all have the Great Commission placed on our life, either we are to go or to give resources for someone else to go.  Well my friend, if you don't feel the call to go, I invite you to partner with me, because I will go.  It burns within me to go out and help, so I will continue to ask this question again and again.  Won't you help me, touch a heart and change a life?  Please watch my video:

What Do You See????

 

 



We all want to be successful and to accomplish what God has planned for our lives.  But, some times we wander about like we are in the dark, stretching out our hands hoping to catch hold of somethimg that will make us secure.  The problem with that is, if the lights never come on you will not be able to see and what good will it be to just be holding on to something.

We have to be able to see what is in front of us in order to go any where.  I don't know about you, but I want to go far and I want to accomplish EVERYTHING that God has for me.  And in order to do that I have to have VISION.  Vision is the act or power of seeing; SIGHT; the act or power of imagination; Revelation.

Proverbs 29:18 says: 
Without revelation, people run wild, but one who keeps the law will be happy. (HCSB)
Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he. (KJV)

If you want to get any where you MUST have vision.  Major League baseball player, Mark McGwire, for his career averaged a home run once every 10.61 bats, the best at bats per home run ratio in baseball history. When asked how did he make so many home runs, Mark McGwire said: "before I go up to bat, I see myself at the plate hitting a home run."

Mark McGwire had vision; he had the power if seeing; he had the power of imagination.  What can you see yourself doing?  What can you imagine yourself doing?  God can do that and even more.  Ephesians 3:20 says:
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us.

So my friends grab hold of your vision and imagine seeing yourself doing it!!!  What exactly do you see?  Do you see yourself owning a business?  Do you see yourself teaching and shaping lives?  What do you see? Whatever you see yourself doing, could be your vision.  Open your eyes and use that power of seeing to envision what God has for you.  Every day God will show you great and exciting things, don't miss out, continue to ask yourself, what do you see?

And We're Off!!!

Touch A Heart and Change A Life Compaign!!!

It has been two years since I lost my husband, Kevin Brown to suicide.  I still have to pinch myself to believe this has actually happened.  It amazing me that a person so full of life and having so much compassion for other could make such a decision.  The only thing that keeps me going is the thought: That something AWESOME AND WONDERFUL, has to come out of this.  It was during one of my moments of thinking, Lord, what is the purpose of all of this, that I know with out a doubt, the vision: Touch A Heart and Change A Life came from.  My pain is for someone else's gain.  God has chosen my family to use our hurt and devastation, to help others in their time of despair.  I have been leading the Women's Worshipfest for over 15 years, first the vision was just to have an Annual Conference and bring women together to have them restored and revived.  But after my life was turned upside down, God let me know that Women's Worshipfest was to be more than just a Conference.  We were to help women and children losing hope. So on today we have launched our "Touch A Heart and Change A Life Campaign".  We have posted on www.indiegogo.com the Crowd funding site to spread the word of our vision.

My husband was too wonderful of an individual, we have to get more than just hurt, frustration and pain out of his death, God showed me I have to remember his life and how he lived more than how he died.  When he lived our house had an open door, I can't begin to count how many people we took in when they had no where to go.  We never ever had a Thanksgiving Dinner alone as a family, our house was open to any and everyone who wanted to come.  He had a heart of gold.  That is why it truly grieves me that somehow he lost hope.  I can never do anything to change what has happened in my life, but I can help others; I can make a difference in the lives of others and I can ask others to help me.  So won't you help us, join hands with us...Please copy and paste this link:

Pretty in Pink

 

(Barbara Jenkins our 2011 Woman of Inspiration, wearing our Pretty in Pink Boa)

Today marks the first day of "Breast Cancer Awareness Month".  Perhaps you know of someone who has struggled with or still struggling with Breast Cancer.  We want to salute those in the struggle, we want to let you know that you are constantly in the prayers of the Women's Worshipfest.  Our vision through "Pretty in Pink", is to encourage those struggling as well as their families.  I have had the opportunity to be in the trenches with individuals fighting hard to overcome Breast Cancer.  I have been there through treatments and doctors appointments and many times, of course they become weak and at times lose hope.  Be sure to hold close those around you living in this struggle and be a friend, a true and dependable friend, by demonstrating consistent and unwaivering love.  And to all you beautiful ladies in this battle, wear you badge with courage and strength, no matter what you feel or think in this struggle, you are beautiful and we believe you look "Pretty in Pink". May God give  you continued strength for the way.
