Following one's dream is a daunting proposition.
Today I'd like to challenge each of you who read this, to share the dream of your heart and if you're ready to risk it all to reach it.

Blessings,
Edie, thanks for this opportunity to hold ourselves accountable for our dreams. I've wanted to write and see my stories published for so long now that I'm uncertain if the desire spans the majority of my lifetime or the minority. However, what I believe I'm finally "getting" is the acceptance that He will have my work published where He wants and He will have particular readers flip the pages and all for a reason… when He wants.
ReplyDeleteElaine, I'll be praying for you to continue to see the fruit of your dreams! Thanks so much for stepping out and sharing first! Blessings, E
DeleteWhile I'm thinking of it… any chance of you blogging a how-to segment on putting our names on quotes like you did above on the Bronte quote? Or have you already and I missed it? Thanks.
ReplyDeleteElaine, those pictures with words are also called Memes, Jess Keller did a post on how to make them a couple of weeks ago. Here's the link: http://thewriteconversation.blogspot.com/2014/06/indie-tuesdaycreate-your-own-shareable.html . I've also done one quite a while back: http://thewriteconversation.blogspot.com/2013/07/business-basics-for-todays.html . It's hard to keep up when I post something new everyday - at least it is for me! Blessings, E
DeleteEdie, Thanks for the picture. I have always wanted to write but never knew that I was being asked to write. I was not more than a journal writer two years ago. Look at what God has done for me. When I find a dry day, I give it to him and always visit your blog. Love ya. Beth
DeleteBeth, that's so cool! We serve an amazing God. Thanks so much for stopping by, Blessings, E
DeleteTo be totally transparent in my writing...
ReplyDeleteJennifer, that's an amazing, scary dream and I think you've just shown us how that starts! I know in all that I've read of yours, you keep that in front of your mind when you write. Thanks so much for taking the challenge, Blessings, E
DeleteThe dream of my heart is to be obedient to His call. This season in my life, His call is to write stories that lift up people, offer hope, and entertain.
ReplyDeleteHenry, that's very cool! Thanks for sharing, Blessings, E
DeleteI would echo what Henry has shared, but also the dream is to encourage people to go beyond merely the outward show of Christianity. People must be God's own possesion with their whole being. It is my goal to show the way to the Father, as well as encourage everyone to not just start on that path, but to finish it as well.
ReplyDeleteDonevy, that's awesome! Thanks so much for stopping by and sharing your thoughts, Blessings, E
DeleteMy dream is to share my personal story through my writing. I want to show people that you can never outrun God, His love never fails, and He will always be waiting with open arms to take you back! Putting a piece of me out there is very difficult. Thank you for the reminder that with great risk, there comes great reward.
ReplyDeleteAmy, 'show people you can never outrun God' - I love that! Thanks so much for taking time to share, Blessings, E
DeleteI LOVE this quote! Thanks for sharing.
