Living My Dream

(Picture from training in April)

When I went back to ScreamFree Training on Friday Neil was going over your "Life's Intentions" list. What do you want to do if nothing stood in your way? What do you want to do if money were no object? What is something you want to do within your reach right now (lose weight, mend a relationship, have more "me" time, ect...)? What do you want to do that is pie-in-the-sky (start a business, fix congress-someone said that, travel, climb a mountain, etc...)? This is really a neat exercise because by the time it is over people already have a plan for their pie-in-the-sky dream and they realize it can happen more than they think. From my class in April, one person went back home and started a children's home!

Well, when they asked me to COME UP FRONT and speak to the group I thought I was going to pass out. I thought my first class was bad but this was talking in front of the group with HAL RUNKEL listening. I started out telling them that I am living what we were just talking about. Four years ago when I read the book I knew God was going to do something big, through me, with this program. I did not know what. I started with word of mouth to friends, then a class at my church, and I find myself standing in front of Hal telling about what we are doing on Wednesday night at my church. My dream is not just to be Screamfree at First Baptist but to help build a ScreamFree Community.

Last week I sent out 7 letters to area churches offering to come and do a weekend class at their church. Please pray for me that the pastors would read the letter (only 5% do read it) and that they would call me about booking a class. This is my dream and I know God is in this. This is the scripture Hal quoted on Friday about ScreamFree:

"Look at the nations and watch-and be utterly amazed. For I am going to do something in your days that you would not believe, even if you were told." Habakkuk 1: 5

If someone told me four years ago I would be standing in front of Hal sharing about my class I would not have believed it.

What is your dream?? GO AND DO!
