DARE TO DREAM

   What do you want to accomplish in your lifetime?
   What is a goal you have in your mind that seems impossible to do?
   Do you want to write a book, or write a song?
   Do you want to be a chemical engineer, a school teacher, or a football coach?
   How long have you wanted to visit New York City for the first time?
   How long have you talked about going on a European vacation?
   Have you ever wanted to drive across the United States from sea to shining sea?
   What is a secret desire you have had locked away in your mind, for all of your life, that you have always wanted to do?
   How long have you been saying, "Playing piano looks like so much fun"?
   Have you ever said to someone, "Oh, I wish I could do that"?
   Have you ever thought about exercising your faith and taking that first step? 
   If you ever take the first step, the second step will be there.  You must try and you must make the effort to step forward; and when you step forward, you begin to put pieces in their places.  The pieces are there, but you will not see them until you take the first step. 
  Have you ever thought about asking God to help you to achieve an idea that you have had tucked away in your mind for years and perhaps for decades?  Perhaps it was God who placed that thought in your mind a long, long time ago.  And if God placed that idea in your mind, He will surely help you to bring it to pass, for this would be the will of God for you to accomplish in your lifetime. 
   So pick up a pen and begin to write the first words of a book, or the words of a song.  Begin to write your plans of how to become a chemical engineer, a school teacher, or a football coach.  Sketch some ideas of how to visit New York City, or places you want to see on a European vacation.
   No dream is too big or too far when your silent partner is God.
