dreaming BIG

“Nurture your mind with great thoughts, for you will never go any higher than you think.” – Benjamin Disraeli

I dream BIG. Though my dreams change on my maturity level, they’re always BIG.

At least big for me…

When I was a little girl, I dreamt of becoming a lawyer. Not just any lawyer, but a big shot one fighting hard-core criminals and corrupt corporate and government leaders.  I even wrote in my life’s prediction that I was assassinated at the age of 60 by a billionaire tycoon whom I’ve imprisoned.

When I was not so little anymore, I dreamt of being a singer, a successful recording artist to say the least.  I was in a band for quite sometime and loved singing even until this day.  I would imagine myself having an acoustic concert, singing songs I wrote, with an audience who adores me and appreciates me for my God-given talents.

When I grew up a little, I dreamt of becoming a missionary.  To be a full time Church worker.  Or maybe a pastor’s wife who’s very much involve in the ministry.  I visualized dangerous mission fields, tiring bubt very spiritually rewarding chores, challenging ministries.

Around 7 yrs ago, I dreamt of being a wife to the man I am madly in love with. Have a grand wedding. Live in a nice big home with loving and adorable kids. Have a stable career that I’m passionate about.  Have at least 1 car.  Leisure travelling at least once a year. 

Now, I dreamt of my baby boy (who’s still inside my tummy) of becoming an athlete, a genius, and a rock star.  I envision sports tournaments, quiz bees, and concerts.  I’m the cool, supportive, and very proud mom to all of these events. 

The results?

I became a teacher.  A very fulfilled and passionate teacher.

To this very day, I sing for my family and friends.  And yes, they love and appreciate my God-given talents every time.

I was an active youth leader in our Church, local and national youth gatherings. I attended national camps where I led and counseled a lot of young people.  I was our church’s Sunday School Superintendent for 2 years.

Just last June, I married one of my high school best friends.  We now live in a very comfy house here in Nuvali, Laguna. I’m pregnant with our first baby.  I’m with Convergys, a company I love to work with.  We have a van and a motorcycle.  And we’ve had some fun and memorable travels.

As for my baby? Only God knows…  But with the trending of my dreams, I’m already grateful and happy. 

I may never achieve any of the BIG dreams that I have, but God gave me so much more and I know He will keep on giving me so much more.  The world may see things differently but I know, that God’s will is best… will always be.

Cheers!
