I don't know what to do about my dreams because my beloved is a total Mr. Steady and he doesn't jump at anything without much thought and planning and reasoning. He's a good balance for me because without him I'd be chasing dreams all over the world. I pretty much start talking dreams and he starts talking reality. Hmmmm. I love this post!

Right there with you, bro. Lost my job about 5 months ago, started serving in my community, and I haven't looked back. Went whitewater rafting, to Seattle and climbed a montain then jumped in a frezing cold lake, hand out bread in the hood, hang out at the bars, go to bible study at a skatepark, writing some music, and I started running. Life is good. He came so that we may have life, and live it abundantly. Right there with you, bro. Lost my job about 5 months ago, started serving in my community, and I haven't looked back.

Hubby and I took a business full time for three years. Crazy hard, crazy faith, crazy against all of our families safe plans. Hubs left police department to give self employment a shot. We home-schooled that year and said God has this planned. Little did we know that exactly one year after hubby quit our son would die. Our three year old little guy passed away. The worst day of our life happened while we were following His plan. He ordained that that 365 days we would all be together. We hung out for two more years healing, loving, growing and keeping our family together. Hubby went back to the police department and has bee so happy to be back. There is a time and place for everything. Dude, awesome post. Hubby and I took a business full time for three years. Crazy hard, crazy faith, crazy against all of our families safe plans.

We opened up our adoption profile to include birthmothers of all races. We decided to be genuine when we pray "on earth as it is in heaven". I heeded God’s call rather than let it go to voicemail.

I’ve had a love of writing for years and stopped writing after high school because of the peer pressure. After that, I just had no confidence in my work and let that lack of confidence and fear stop me. Now I’m pushing on toward the end of this first novel even if it’s the biggest pile of crud ever to grace the page. I have to do this. I just can’t not do this. I don’t know if this is what God wants for me but I know that unless I do this I’ll regret it for the rest of my life. I’m actually writing my first Christian fiction novel.

I've lost 50lbs, through hiked a national park. Climbed a mountain. Started investing less in me and more in others. Found a niche at church I love and a bunch of other stuff. Now I'm training for a half marathon and praying that God will continue to give me the courage to lead even though it means I'll make mistakes and not always have the answers. I the last two years.

Great job of setting up the issue and leaning into it. Safety can be the enemy of life but many of us miss that because we’re far too BUSY trying to just get by.

Or at least in a way that no one would expect. I've started the ball somewhat but check'n this post out makes me want to kick it into high gear. I also want to do graphics for multiple churches. Small churches/Church Plants. I've taken some steps with asking two church planters advice. One is Jay Hardwick <a href="http://www.awakencolumbia.com/" target="_blank">http://www.awakencolumbia.com/</a> and the other is Matt Rogers <a href="http://www.renewalupstate.com/" target="_blank">http://www.renewalupstate.com/</a> I will continue to take more steps this week.
