I said yesterday that choosing to pursue this dream of having sufficient for our mission was going to be a life changing goal. I have felt good feelings as I have decided to see what I can do to realize this dream. It is a major one and one that will require much work.
But along with that, it will require me changing a few things in my life also. You see, I have started many businesses. I have pursued many dreams. I have followed many ideas to either failure (most of them) or success. So as I pursue this dream, working toward its realization, I will need to listen.
Our stake president said in our last Stake Conference that we should be receiving inspiration every day. We should receive whispering from the Holy Ghost daily. So if this is the case, and if Father is sending constant inspiration that I need to follow to realize this dream, then I need to do whatever is necessary to be worthy of that inspiration. I need to listen, I need to follow every idea that comes into my mind.
If Father is sending me ideas, people to contact, things to check out, then I need to be a partner with Father to do my part. I am sure if we are to realize this dream, there will be many things I need to do. I will need to be "talking" with Father daily, be worthy of His direction, and feel that inspiration daily. So I need to live my life more spiritually watching for that direction.
Two small miracles, or should I say two witnesses of this dream confirmation. I was asked to take a student to the airport today, earning myself $75 and then I received notice that a bookseller sold some of my books and has a check for me for $150. All of a sudden, I have $225 that I didn't know anything about yesterday. I will save the $225 as the first part of travelling along the road to saving $50,000. There is a long way to go, but at least we are started.
I know that Father can cause many miracles, many unplanned circumstances that will help add to that account, that mission account. I know that He is aware of my dream to provide and support us on a mission. I know that He can create small and even large miracles that will help realize this dream. I will try to record them all so you, dear reader, can also enjoy the miracles that will happen, the inspiration I receive, and monitor the path, the struggles, and the successes of going toward this dream.
No dream is too big to dream, to work toward, IF it is Father's will.
