Having a Dream.

Proverbs 29:18 (KJV)

"Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he."

  

Have you ever seen a little kid talk about what they want to be when they grow up? Their eyes light up. They speak with excitement, boldness, and no fear of failure. Firefighter. Doctor. Preacher. Astronaut. They believe they can do it.

But somewhere along the way, that excitement fades. Today, we’re seeing more and more teenagers who don’t have a dream. No direction. No goal. No vision for their life.

And I believe that’s a problem—a spiritual one. Because when there’s no vision, there’s no motivation. When there’s no dream, there’s no drive to do anything great for God.

Today I want to talk about the importance of having a dream.


1. Have a dream.

First, get a dream. It doesn't have to be something you commit to for the rest of your life. But have something you can imagine yourself doing when your an adult. Don't be one of the teen guys that says I don't know when asked what their plans are for after high school. Its time some teen guys get out of their gaming chair and start thinking about  a plan for their life.

Get a dream and make it yours. Think about it. Dream about it. But more importantly, have a plan of what you want to do with your life.

Having a dream is planning for a purpose.

Having a dream will keep the teen-guy from living in his parents basement until he is 35 grinding on his PS5.

Having a dream gets you excited, motivated and serious about your future.

2. Make the dream big.

Don't be afraid to make the dream big. Have an end goal that is something great.

Your life's purpose is not to live with your parents forever, stay single and play video games.

Plan for the future and envision yourself doing something awesome for God.

Don't settle for the small. Work towards a bigger goal.


3. Make the dream Godly

Lastly and most important, make the dream Godly.

Your dream will only be truly successful  if its spent for God.

In Ecclesiastes 1 Solomon said that everything under the sun will be in vain.

Make your dream encircle doing something for God.


 Imagine your dream is like planting a seed.

  1. Have a Dream: First, you must plant the seed. Without planting, nothing will grow. This means you have to decide what you want to pursue—even if it’s just a small idea now.

  2. Make the Dream Big: Next, water and care for that seed by dreaming big. Don’t settle for a tiny sprout. Picture a strong, tall tree. Your big dream challenges you to grow beyond what feels comfortable.

  3. Make the Dream Godly: Finally, the seed needs good soil to take root. God’s Word and His purpose are that soil. If the seed falls on rocky ground or weeds, it won’t flourish. But in God’s soil, your dream will grow deep roots, bear fruit, and stand the test of time.

So, plant your dream, dream big, and root it in God’s will—and watch how He brings it to life for His glory!


Colossians 3:23-24 (KJV)

"And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance..."

This is My family This is my Mom and Dad. I love spending time with them. My Dad is the one that led  me to the Lord. I appreciate all that they are to me. They are fun to be around and show a great example of a good marriage. This is my older brother Josh and his wife Tabitha. He is an awesome older brother and they are actually my youth leaders. They are the best youth group leaders I could ask for.  They are personable but fun and always challenge us to grow in our walk with the Lord. And they live next door too! This is my oldest sister Beth. She is actually an author. She has written some pretty good books too, if you like the romance and mystery type of book. She is sweet and and is always helping others. And she is single too in case anyone is interested. She is 27 and is a very good cook. But you will have to talk to my dad first. This is my older sister Brenna and her husband AJ. Her and AJ run the bus route for our church and do a great job at it. They have 2 sons, A...

It has been a really good week for me. For July 4th, our church had an activity with ice cream and some really good fireworks. I'm so thankful for our nation!!! Me and my mom were able to sell the last of our spring goats on Sunday! The Goat in the pic is Aurora. She is really pretty but I'm glad she is going to a new home. I have also been doing a bunch of work with my rabbit pens and scheduling out breeding which will start the end of August! My sister Callie recently started an Etsy shop selling unique earrings.  The ducks below are glow in the dark. We had our Good News at the Park today. it went really well and 58 from our church volunteered. I was also to help lead 2 teen guys to the lord as well with a friend. It is always a blessing to hear someone pray and accept Jesus into their heart! The cookies above was from a lady that gave them to me and I'm so glad because these Publix sprinkle cookies are my favorites. Lastly I was able to receive a certificate from the Bi...

What I have Learned from the Rabbit Business.

If you don't know already, I love breeding and selling rabbits. It has been super fun and in today's post, I will be talking about some of the things I have learned from the rabbit business! 1. Pick the breed If you plan on breeding, raising, and selling rabbits, you first start off by picking which breed you want. Do loads of research to find the breed that best's fit your area, cage space and colors. I chose Holland lops. They are relatively smaller and are the most docile rabbit breed out there. There is a good market in North Florida and they work for my set-up. 2. Buy Supplies Next go to your local Rural King and buy all the rabbit supplies. You want to find a bag of grain, timothy hay and a pet water bottle. Also think about buying food dishes, brush, and treats. You can find cages on Facebook Marketplace or just buy a wire cage at the store. I have connected wire cages that are hanged from the roof using heavy-duty wire. You also want to figure out whether you are ke...
