Big Dreams

Last night I put on my graduation gown and it finally hit me that I only have 27 more days until it's all over. A part of me is so excited and ready, but another part is sad and scared. As I think about leaving and going on to that next step of my life, I look back to the years before and how my dreams have changed. This year the Lord has opened my heart to many things and given me new dreams that I want to accomplish. One of the things I noticed in China and in Costa Rica was how the women have not been trained. There are Bible colleges all over the world that are preparing men to go out among their own people and share the Gospel, but who is there to teach the women? The wives of these "soon to be preachers" need to be taught how to reach other women and how to develop children's ministries within their new churches. This is definitely a new dream of mine and I would love to be able to travel to different countries and help these women. God taught me a long time ago that if HE puts a dream within my heart, I don't just need to dream it, I need to make decisions that will ultimately help me make those dreams a reality. So as I take these next steps, I pray for His will above my own and an open, willing heart.
