1 Corinthians 1:26-28

1 Corinthians 1:26-28
Brothers and sisters, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth.But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong.God chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are.

Have you ever had a dream? Not the kind of dream that you have when you're asleep, the kind of dream that you imagined when you were a little kid? Like wanting to be a nurse or vet? Maybe you still have a dream but you have become so busy with life that you don't think about it anymore.. Or maybe you gave up on your dream years ago and now only focus on your education and getting to college. Perhaps you have no idea what I'm talking about and your about to close out of this blog. Please don't, cuz I have a message that I really want you to know. God planted a dream in your heart the moment you were born. A dream that you have always known but maybe you just never noticed. That dream is part of God's plan for you! And I can tell you right now, that His plan is even better then you could possibly imagine! He is calling you to live your dream, but that will require a teeny little step. A step out of your comfort zone. Now everybody knows that stepping out of your comfort zone is scary and uncomfortable. That's kind of a duh, right? Cuz over the years, you build your little comfort zone around you and it becomes so familiar that you hate to even think of stepping outside of it! But if you want to fulfill God's plan for your life, then your gonna have to step out of that zone. But what if you have no idea what your dream is? There's a way to find out. Ask yourself these questions:
•What have I always been good at?
•What needs (in the world) do I care about most?
•What makes me feel most fulfilled?
•What do I love to do most?
•What lifestyle or career fascinated me the most as a kid?
•What have I felt called to do?
•What do I most want to be remembered for?

Way to many people give up on their dreams and end up living a different life then God had in mind for them.. And maybe your calling isn't that glamorous but when you're living for Jesus and according to His plan for you, then nothing could ever feel more right. Because God uses the weak things of the world to shame the strong. So have faith! Because God has an amazing plan for you!

God Bless,
Sarah
