Dream Chaser: Don’t Give Up...

Dream Chaser: Don't Give Up...


God gave us ALL an assignment...a Dream. When blessed with such a gift, very few of us pursue it. Most dreams are not pursued, mostly because of doubt and fear. Not me...I have accepted that challenge. Do I get scared? Yes. Do I sometimes lack faith? Yes. I'm going to be real with you, Dream Chasing is a scary career move, but very fulfilling. I refuse to settle for anything else. I refuse to settle for Plan B. This is it. This is all I have.

This past week, I endured many battles. The hardest of which included helping another fellow Dreamer. There's not many of us out there, so when I do come across one, I do my best to assist in ANY way I can. Even if it means giving my last. But I can't want it for you, I can only assist.

Two scriptures came to mind tonight...

Proverbs 3:5 (NLT)

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek His will in all you do, and He will direct your paths."


Trust me. I don't know ANYTHING. I admitted that before. This world is crazy. There's so much I don't understand, but at the same time, everything happens for a reason. But Life is beyond Reason. So...what now? Well, I pray on it and keep it moving. I keep fighting. I keep chasing. I just do what I got to do. Often times, I chase and fight without even knowing the result. I just know God got it covered.


Habakkuk 3 (NLT)

"But these things I plan won't happen right away. Slowly, steadily, surely, the time approaches when the vision will be fulfilled. If it seems slow, wait patiently, for it will surely take place. It will not be delayed."

This helps me on my chase. We have to keep chasing, even if it feels like it's for nothing. Even if progress seems to have slowed to a standstill. We still have to push forward. A lot of people will doubt, hate, mislead, do ANYTHING to keep you from pursuing your Dream. But YOU KNOW your soul. YOU KNOW what's been instilled in you. Don't become a victim. Don't walk amongst the living dead.

DO NOT SETTLE!!! Refusing to chase a Dream is weak and selfish. That's one of the many lessons that I had to learn on this journey. I had to learn that it's beyond me. My Dream involves others. This year has been a true testament to that. If I fail, others will fail. If I succeed, many others will do the same. It's a web. A Dream is a blessing. And guess what?...blessing has a way of overflowing. It overflows to those around you. Chasing a Dream is not only an assignment from God, it is a duty.

You can pray for anything you want, but God gave us free will. We have to make that choice. The Chosen Ones are those who choose to be chosen...

I don't mean to come off so.... militant. But, it is a war. We are caught in the middle of spiritual warfare. Acknowledge it or not, it's going down. Don't be a victim. I'm fighting with you. Don't give up. I am here.... :)

Just a reminder. Keep dreaming. You will get there...

Goodnight.
