Have you ever had something you were imagining would happen, and then it stayed in your mind for a while, but when it didn't happen as soon as you thought it should, you began to lose hope and doubt that you would ever have it?
When I was a child, I had dreams crushed often, and I did not believe I would ever receive anything good in my life. At the early age of seven, I was bullied, and I did not think anyone liked me. I didn't believe my life was worth living. My thoughts were not good. In fact, I always saw bad things happening, so that's all I believed would happen in my life.
Wrong thinking took precedence at the time, but what if I only imagined how life was much better and I believed that I had better? While I did not know how to think positively for myself at that time, somebody was praying for me. Many years went by as I believed all there would ever be in my life was rejection, hurt, and pain. I struggled with depression to the point where anyone saying anything positive about me would feel bad because I did not believe any good in myself.
Until one day it started to happen…
I began to read the Bible, and one of my favorite verses became “For we live by believing and not by seeing” (2 Corinthians 5:7 NLT). It's taking me some time to dig through the winding roads of living by what I saw to getting to a place where I can dream and hope again. Love, faith, and hope are the greatest attributes to have, and they will last forever (see 1 Corinthians 13:13), so it is imperative to learn how to have faith while hoping and loving in life.
So, what am I dreaming about? As I'm beginning this journey, I do not see the resources yet. Still, I believe to be able to feed the homeless and build a shelter to fill with people ready to walk by faith and not by sight, aiding the poor in ways that they become educated on how not to live with a poverty mindset but a successful mindset. Then, as they grow and become educated, they step out on faith and begin helping build the same love for humanity, always having a heart for them, blessing them not to be conformed to this world but transformed by renewing their minds.
I would love to be in my community as we walk by faith trusting and believing God for the resources to build a place where change is happening, and people are empowered.
