When I was a child, I'd pretend to be a teacher with my soft
toys or I'd pretend to be a hairdresser with my Pocahontas doll. My Pocahontas
doll had extra-long hair, I remember as a kid thinking it was time for her to
have an updated look. So, I got scissors and gave her a lob (long bob), those
days were so fun! I remember my school teacher telling us to write down what we
wanted to be when we were older, I actually wanted to be a hairdresser.
Children love to imagine, especially when playing games but the older we get
the less we tend to dream. The less risks we take, we are not as naïve and we
don't have as much audacity.
It's important to dream as a grown up too, and not just
dream but to dream big. One of my fav scriptures in the bible is, (Ephesians 3:20)
"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". If only we ask
and imagine, God is able to do it. Vision boards are a great way of imagining
your future, as well as spending some quiet time in the day and envisioning
yourself doing what you are believing God for. Just like pretending to be a
hairdresser with my doll, I had a clear vision of who I wanted to be. It's
really important to know where you want to go in life, having a clear vision
for the dreams in your heart is vital. Also writing down your vision is vital,
which I will talk about in the next dream series post. In the dream series, I
will talk you through a step by step guide on how you can dream about your
future and how to walk towards it.
