Come out come out, wherever you are!


I just read a journal entry from 6 months ago that reminded me of this dream I had. I woke up from the dream with a phrase reverberating through my soul: "Call forth the Visionaries"
With these commissioning words came this supernatural assurance that I could actually DO this and that my DOING it would make a difference. It was weird.
That evening I visited with some friends who were saying good-bye to their friends that were leaving for college. I found myself in the exact scenario from my dream - standing amongst these young people and reminding them to not be discouraged by what seems to be an impossible dream. I told them that it would come to pass.
Hanging on to the belief in a dream or vision is so important. Building it UP day after day, nurturing its health, spending time around people who encourage your ideas - these are the ways dreams come to pass. It is the training ground for taking responsible ownership over the well-being of an idea. Probably similar to the way that marriage often leads to having children. A healthy, stable marriage creates a culture wherein a new person can safely grow and mature.
So contend in the battlefield of your mind for the dream that is on your heart.
Don't be discouraged because it hasn't happened just yet.
It's likely that you are in preparation for that day.
