dreams

a couple of weeks ago i heard kenny borthwick speak at a 'church without walls' conference. i really only went to get a free meal and see my dad and friends who were there for a few days, but i think God is clever, and had me there for other reasons. (quickly setting the scene... that day at work i was being taught about person-centred planning and used as the guinea pig. this involved thinking ahead, to what my dreams and aspirations and hopes are for the future, and how i could work toward achieving these)that nite Kenny spoke with passion, humour and clarity about the dreams God has given us, and about whether our church is built around 'filling the gaps' or 'living the dreams'. he shared so many amazing stories of how God has spoken to people, and given them dreams, and ambitions, which they have then made reality through trusting Him, and pursuing them in faith.what are your dreams?and what were the chances that i had spent the day considering this question and then beautifully challenged on them that very night? a friend who, at the time, knew little about me, had been praying and given a word for me from God. i keep it hidden in my heart, because i cant quite imagine it ever becoming a reality. but now i'm beginning to wonder what i could be missing doing for God by not pursuing this dream...
