start with the "why"

In case you're new here, Tuesdays are the day that I write about my God-sized dream {a desire in my heart for more of what God has for me}. You can catch up on the series HERE.

Why am I pursuing this dream of mine?

*****************************************

Because God has placed a desire in my heart to do and be more.

Because I want to be a stellar wife to my husband.

Because I want to impact more lives for Christ.

Because I know that I am called to be more than lackadaisical Christianity.

Because I want to be the best mother I can be to our future child{ren}.

Because I want to be a wise steward of the talents God has given me.

Because I want to be a wise steward of the financial resources God has given me.

Because I believe that God doesn't measure success by how good I look on the outside, but by my true character.

Because I would rather influence others to pursue sanctification rather than to pursue materialism.

Because I know what I don't want.

Because anything less than my best just. wouldn't. be. right.


The answer{s} to the question "Why?" is the very foundation of my dream. If I am not clear on why I am even out there working my tail off, then it is very hard to stay motivated and on track. I am thankful that this week's God-sized dream assignment was to write out my "why." I needed to revisit it. Maybe you do, too? Don't be embarrassed to write your "why" out. Whether your goals and dreams are big or small, get it down on paper.
