“When the Lord brought back his exiles to Jerusalem, it was like a dream! We were filled with laughter, and we sang for joy. And the other nations said, “What amazing things the Lord has done for them.” Yes, the Lord has done amazing things for us! What joy!”
Psalms 126:1-3 NLT

It's not just true for Disney Princess's it's also true for you and me. DREAMS DO COME TRUE! Stephanie and I are about to venture into "Tiny House Living". I love the show and the concept of simplifying your lives. When we removed the STUFF that dominates our time, energy, and resources, we are open to the call of God and more able to focus on him. In a little over a month we will be moving from our 1800 sq. ft. home to a 437 sq. ft. RV and we are PUMPED. The house is sold, we have purchased our "TINY HOUSE" 5th wheel and now we are working towards finishing our downsizing to realize our dreams.
Nearly two years ago we started dreaming of this plan. We have prayed and prayed and prayed some more to make sure this was the path God laid before us. As barriers began to be removed, we realized OUR dream was God's dream. In a nutshell, Stephanie and I are simplifying our lives so God can use us without the excuses we usually revert to. No more will we be able to claim we can't afford to go into ministry and our financial obligations will no longer tie us down. We are not quite there yet, but this last week, GOD has blessed us with some big steps to reach our dreams.
I praise the Lord for all his blessings. He is amazing and we are testing the edges by dreaming big. But, the bigger your dreams the easier, it is to see the hand of God intervening. His presence is so evident when the things that are WAY out of your control just happen. We want to honor the Lord with everything we have. Now everything we have will be a lot less, but it will be ALL FOR HIS GLORY!
