As you finish up today, take some time for personal assessment. I hope you will do that now while it is fresh on your mind. Also, pull out your dream from yesterday and spend some time right now, praying for it. Ask God to give you the wisdom to know how this might be fulfilled, pray for the faith to trust Him in the process and pray for His work to be done in your life so that your character becomes what He wants it to be. Think about the ways that God has already grown Nehemiah’s character and he hasn’t done a lick of work on the wall yet! God created in him a brokenness for His work (Nehemiah 1:4); He stirred Nehemiah to become a man of prayer (Nehemiah 1:5-11, 2:4); God gave him boldness (2:2-3, 7-9); He gave Nehemiah perspective (2:20). Imagine what God will do through this man when he actually starts doing the work!

Better yet, imagine what God could do through you if you’d move on the passions He has placed in your heart.

PRAYERS OR COMMENTS:

I am going to continue to post my “Big Dreams” prayer from yesterday all this week as a constant reminder of the captivity God has freed me from and the Promise Land He has prepared.

Rebuild my character so that I can defend against the enemy. Remove any rubble that has been left behind from my past so that as I rebuild the wall of my character it is steadfast and strong and my actions will withstand the test.

DREAM BIG-

And when Nehemiah asked, the king delivered…. And when I ask (according to His will), my KING will deliver!

I stand in amazement at how in step this 28 day challenge has been with what God has been working on in my life! I know I shouldn’t be, but I am. I write in my journal and here in the comments, and the next day the same thoughts or verse I wrote down the previous day, is in the devo NOW. God, you are so faithful and thank you for speaking so clearly.

Last week was grueling to say the least. It was difficult going to the past and to the places long forgot, it was even more of a challenge because EVERY area of my life was taking me there. I am working through Celebrate Recovery’s 12 step program and last week was person inventory, our Life Hurts God Heals teen program began victory over the past, we are in the process of an adoption and my personal interview was on Wednesday, and then here at tenth dot God reaffirms His desire for my life…to trust and glorify Him!

Satin wanted so badly for each of us to carry our past, because he still had a piece of us under his control. BUT NOT ANYMORE…SATIN GET BEHIND ME CAUSE I’M DREAMING BIG! And when God is for me, no one can stand against me, not even my past.

Father, I pray now that as I begin to seek forgiveness for the harm I have caused others, and forgive the harm caused to me, You will give me YOUR strength and YOUR courage to keep going until each name is removed from my list. I know it won’t be easy, but it will be so worth it. I will have the freedom to DREAM BIG in knowing I can lay my gift at the alter because I have made amends for those wrongs, I have big dreams because You have created me to be a dreamer, now I put that talent and gift into Your hand knowing it will be used the way You had always intended it…to further Your kingdom and not my own! I love you and I can’t wait to have my first book published, to have foster kids running around my house, to build a dynamic 12 step teen group where all who are weary find rest, to be wife and mom of the year in my husband and kids eyes, to build orphanages around the world, and to be an inspirational speaker to victims of rape as well as women young and old battling eating disorders and self esteem issues. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Amen

I think that I eed to examine my “dreams” more. I’m not sure if I know what my dreams is or should be. I thought it involved photography and maybe missions, but not sure. I need to pray for guidance. But I thik all of the goings on in my life currently have clouded that.
