    It was Carl Sandberg who taught us that “nothing happens unless first, a dream!”

    It was Thoreau who said, “I have learned this by at least my experiment, that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.”

    What about you?

I press on to the goal...

    The apostle Paul said, “Forgetting what lies behind, and reaching forward to what lies ahead, I press on to the goal of the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.”

    Take a moment today, ask yourself the question, “What is my dream?”

    Isn’t your dream to be all that God has called you to be? Isn’t your dream to be like Jesus Christ? If those dreams are your dreams, and you’ve asked our heavenly Father to help you, he will help you to move toward those dreams because they are dreams for his glory!

    Today, please dream. Don’t fear about the future! God will bless you as you envision a positive future for his glory!
