Pursuing dreams...

Is the Lord showing me the way?
You know the story of the man that drowns and goes to heaven and asks the Lord why He didn't save him even though the man kept praying to be saved...the Lord says, I sent a boat, built you a bridge, and sent a helicoptor...what more do you want! LOL

Well, I feel that way sometimes...I'm so busy waiting for some miraculous sign, you know the kind, some neon sign with a big arrow pointing in the direction I should go, that I just don't see the little signs that keep me pointing in the right direction.

I don't pursue my dream of opening a childbirth service in my area because of fear, doubt, procrastination...fear that I can't do it, doubt that it is what I'm meant to do, procrastinating for the right moment. Yet, continually there are those little signs that totally point to this being my calling, and others see it, but I don't, or can't because of the fear and doubt clouding my vision.

There's a line in one of my favorite movies, the Rookie, where the main character is asking his father for adviced on whether he should pursue trying out for baseball, his lifelong dream, and his father says, "it's okay to think about what you want to do, until it's time to do what you were meant to do"...and he means it in the sense that we need to pursue our dreams.

Maybe it's time I start doing what I was meant to do, instead of constantly wondering if I'm doing the right thing...how many more ways can the Lord show me?

Time to put my plan into action...time to dream big, and make that dream come true...as my dying father told me, life is too short...
