Realize Your Dream

Sorry for keeping you all waiting. I am recently working on some stuff such as…having a wonderful holiday with friends??!!~~Woohoo..we had a great time and it was definitely a much needed break after all. Hm…what are the other stuffs then? Well, I am going to keep you all guessing until September. Haha…

Just attended an installation dinner hold by my friend 2 months ago, and the theme of the night was “Realize Your Dreams”. Her speech impacted me so much that those three words just stuck in my head. Seriously. She was sharing with us the process of realizing her dreams and how she was seeing them came to pass. Wow, that makes me wondering how much had I done to make my dreams come true. But before I even realize it, God has it planned for me. All I can say is, “Thank You, Lord.”

How often have we put aside our dreams because the circumstances don’t allow us to do so? And as time goes by we just forget about it and move on with our life, and hopefully our children can make our dreams come true. When I saw my friend, she looks radiant!! I just feel like I can get a little bit of hers by going near her. She is so passionate about what she is doing and she is definitely living the moments. Yes, she loves it because that’s her dream. She is living her dream. I mean she is still busy, her schedule is packed, meetings after meetings, people might crush her spirit and things might get rough on her, but she is enjoying every moment of it, this is how I feel about her. I just want a piece from her.

One of my favourite quotes: “You can only find a real partner when you are strong enough to stand against all odds.” People want to get near you, because you are strong most of the times. But being that kind of person can be really lonely. It is not easy to stand against all odds, alone. It’s like you are leading the way and people are following behind you. Every mistakes you make, they come to you first. But they might not appreciate your effort in doing the right thing. Well, my friend has that kind of charisma in attracting good partner. My best wishes to you.

I was definitely being taken out from my comfort zone and God has been guiding me as always, in making my dreams come true. But one thing He wants from me, “You must ask.”

“So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.” - Luke 11:9-10

It pretty much tells the exact situation I am in right now - I am learning to ask, to seek and to knock. In other words, I am in the process of realizing my dreams. What is my dream? What am I suppose to do about it? Who should I look for? Which one is better? And…all by myself? Oh wow…I bang a few walls for that.

Every step I’ve made, God brought me closer to my dream. Along the process I asked God, “Why is it so hard for me to choose the best thing for myself?” and He says, “Because you wont be happy by choosing what you think is best for you.” True enough – God’s way is higher than my way. Once I hit that moment, everything started to fall into the right place. I know whatever comes my way I know I can figure it out and solve it. Because I can always turn to the Strong Mighty Tower: to ask, to seek and to knock.

So often we forgot that Jesus Christ is the only person who can stand against all odds. We want to follow Him because He is the answer to everything we have. Once we get it right with God, we know, we have the strength to move on. It’s like a silent YES from God saying to you, “You are on the right track, child. Move on.” Are you ready to His partner today?

A few moments that I wanted to share because it really made my days. As I went to Kuala Lumpur to do my visa, it was still raining even the moment I was boarding the airplane. It never happened the past 4 years when I was studying in KL. I waited 2 hours in the Visa Department for my turn to just summit my documents and fingerprints done in just 20 minutes. I spent 6 hours in Airport for my next flight and I get so blurred that I went off the crowd walking alone to the other end of the airplane. I heard someone shouting at me to go back to the crowd. Embarrassing!!~

Well, after all, I spent a nice weekend on my coach watching “So You think You can Dance. One guy caught my eyes. He is a contemporary dancer coming from one of the most dangerous city in the World – Brooklyn, New York. He was forced to be matured at young age because of his background. Nothing glamorous about his life and with his passion in dancing, he was pushed away even more by his neighbourhood. He has to fight to stay and pursue dancing. He went from an undiscipline child to a real dancer on stage. His name is Adechike, an African name with a meaning of “Royal power of God”. His passion wasn’t accepted by his community, but not God. God honoured it and making it real for Adechike.

“If the idea isn’t absurd, it has no hope at all – by Elbert Einstein.”

What is your dream today? Or how far have you achieve your dream today? Or you are still in the process of finding you dreams? Well, I am still worry about my visa, how well can I adapt to the new environment, will I be able to make it through, what is my next plan after that…You probably have the same worries as I am. But one thing for sure, expects something more than spending 2 hours to finish visa application or 6 hours for next flight. More people will come and crush your spirit but at the same time, much much more people are helping you to get near to your dream. So don’t give up on your dream.

“God will send the rain when He is ready, and you need to prepare your field to receive it.”
   - Facing the Giant

Are you preparing your field today? If you don’t have one, you always know Who to turn to. 

“And afterward, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions.”                               - Joel 2:28

It is a promise from God.

Be blessed.

Amen.


p/s: A little hint on where I am about to go – It has a lot to do with Malaysia but I am not doing it in Malaysia. Hahaha…
