Freedom 8: D-Dreams & Desires that Burn in Your Chest

I’m on fire and you should be too.
It’s the kind of blaze that we don’t need to be delivered from
And quite frankly we don’t want to be.

It’s passion burning inside us, not the misplaced kind that has some of us sleeping around with all manners of people trying to reach the bottom of a flame that always goes out in a few of minutes.

Not the lazy kind that pursues a dream with very little preparation or practice.

NO, it’s a real passion. The kind of fire that wakes us in the morning and makes us become more excellent than we have ever been. It’s the kind of flame that dominates our thoughts on most days. It makes a shy woman speak up, a scared woman stand tall, a weak woman become strong enough to build her dream, to hold on to her dream, to live her dream, to grow her dream into a touchable reality.

Fire burns.

Flames light.

Blazes warm.

Our dreams and desires should burn in our chest, light our way, and blaze a path that we couldn’t be paid to leave!

And if by chance you don’t have dream yet, then

1. start praying about it, to find out what unique and exciting thing God created you to do “Father, what’s my purpose, what problem was I created to solve, who can I help & how can I enjoy my life more and a make a difference?…” It’s simply a conversation that God will respond to like a whisper in your ear or a message that enters your spirit or, the simplest answers that I have ever received were, well placed but unexpected scriptures in a Sunday morning sermon by my Pastor. In addition to praying, another thing that I do is
2. start trying all kinds of new things until I find that thing that sticks with me. In other words, start living, and experiencing life and your purpose will seek you out. You just get ready to respond to it.

Our dreams should distract us
from the mundane parts of our lives.
They should ignite us and wake us up
They should inspire us to work harder than we have worked before.
Our dreams should drive us forward

burns right through me.
