So far the guesses have equivocally been:
- pregnancy (that is why I cleared it up from the get go)
- adopting a child
- stateside adoptions approved for our orphanage here in
- moving to a new house
- anniversary celebration trip without the kids
- getting a vehicle
- leaving
- going home for a holiday
- bringing the whole family up to the States for a two week visit
- getting a pay raise
Wow, your high hopes for my life have bolstered my confidence and given me a revived sense of purpose. Thanks for dreaming big for me folks!
While we are on the subject, if you feel comfortable sharing, what is the biggest dream that you have for your life?

Oh goodness - the biggest dream?? Okay. I will share. In 1997 in the internship I was sitting on my dorm room floor thinking about purpose and ministry and so forth (details not exact) and I heard God ask me what was the biggest thing I could imagine, and then to ask Him for it. My mind's eye drew a picture of a football stadium filled with people, and me on a platform in the middle with a microphone speaking to them. So that is my biggest dream. Not just me, but my husband. I always knew that the real dream and the real focus would come through him, and I would be a back-up and support to him in that. So although I didn't 'see' it in that imagining, I know that my husband was right there too. That is my biggest dream. Danielle's Mom asked if we had a mission statement and what it was. Here is min, knowing that vision:
To have an effective anointed speaking and evangelism ministry. To work in a supportive role to my husband through intercession and teaching. To motivate people from any walk of life to a closer relationship with their Creator.
Big dreams.
Biggest dream for my life? To be remembered. I think it would be sad to live my life in such a way that I didn't leave a big enough impact to not be remembered after I'm gone.
At the end of the day, my biggest dream is to know that I belonged to Jesus and served Him, and that I loved my family and I loved people.
Birgit - That is the crux of the issue, most definitely. Amen.
Brad - Welcome! So glad you stopped by and left a comment to let me know you were here. I went to see your blog. I like the fun layout.
To be remembered... reminds me of the movie 'Troya'. I wish you all the best in the pursuit of that dream.
Come back soon. :-)
Annie - yes indeed, big dreams! That is fabulous that you have that image burning in your heart; and that you can go beyond an image to the point of being able to so clearly communicate what it is that you see God is going to do in your life. Amen friend. Amen.
incredible to hear everyone's guesses! holy crow. i liked being on the inside track of all this, but then i missed out on all the build-up and unveiling action. shame.
my biggest dream? right now (so not really my BIGGEST dream, just what's on my brain right now) is to get our house built. it seems like just a dream at the moment, so we'll see...
Alece - It was amazing to hear the guesses. Don't worry about it... I kinda had a feeling that you would have your hands full at the time of the big unveil. That is part of the reason that I brought you in on it ahead of time. That and the fact that you are like a blog guru and have a totally rockin' blog - so if you had any input (and if you still do) I want(ed) to hear it. :-)
