Remember Who You Are, Part 1 – What Are Your Dreams

This month I am going to do a series Remember Who You Are.  When I originally started this blog I came up with the title because I was a Girl who met God and experienced beautiful Grace. We need to know who we are so we can be the girls we were created to be.

I am in awe of kids who know who they want to be at an early age.  Looking back I had dreams as a little girl but I doubted them because of my broken soul.  Participating in a class this week they asked us to remember our dreams from our childhood.

It took awhile, at first it was a blank canvas but then I remembered an assignment we had in sixth grade.  We had to write a story and create a book.  I remember a longing to be a writer, a little dream that was forming way back then.  A seed that was planted. I even revisited this dream starting as a journalism major and then working as a Community Writer for the OC Register long, long ago.

Those dreams were put aside because of bad choices and the belief somewhere deep down that I didn’t really deserve it. I didn’t have a strong sense of who I was and I let my brokenness guide me. I forgot who I was. This last year I have been dreaming again and seeing God breathe healing, hope and life into those dreams.  I am making a list and giving myself freedom to dream big.

What are your dreams?  Do you dare to write them down? How about sharing one below.  A scary one that maybe, just maybe writing it down, stating it for others to see will be your first step in seeing it come true.
