Rick Warren, author of The Purpose Driven Life, tweeted this quote today and it really made me start thinking. He said,"if you want to know where you'll be in 5 years, listen to what you talk about most now.". How true is that?! What we declare to be usually happens. 5 years ago all I could talk about was moving to Washington DC and being an interpreter. Check and check. Then I was talking about marrying Jeffrey. Almost check. :-)
Now I talk about being a world changer. About how all I long to do is serve God at Jeffrey's side. How I want to be a sounding board for people's dreams, to be a comforter to people who need it the most. How I want to lead people into the presence of my Father with my voice and dance. And how I want a fluffy gray kitten. Ha ha!!
Seriously though, dreams are ever evolving and changing. If they never change life would be too boring. Even though being an interpreter no longer rules the forefront of my dreams, why I do what I do is still the main reason I live. To love Him and make Him known.
Check back in 5 years. For the things I declare now will probably be happening. Because I'm drawing circles around our dreams.

James 3:4-5
