I don’t have children. I’m not really sure if that’s in God’s plan for me. I guess only time will tell. I may never experience pregnancy or what it’s like to have a child growing inside of you.

But I’ve been pregnant before. I still am.
Pregnant with dreams and visions. 

I recently gave birth to one of those dreams and now the hard work has begun. But there are still many inside my heart. Dreams that I know and believe that I will someday give birth to. (Not necessarily in this order)

  • To give over half my income to missions and non-profit organizations that God lays on my heart
  • To publish multiple books
  • To speak all over the world
  • To share the Gospel with strangers
  • To be debt free
  • Energy every day
  • To be married

Those are just a few.
Some of these dreams are in the beginning stages. Some are in the waiting stages. I know God is preparing to deliver the blessing over some of them because I can hear Him and others around me yelling, “Push!”
God is teaching me trust. To rely completely on Him. To ask. To seek. To knock. Labor pains may be harder than others, but I have to ask myself, Am I willing to keep pushing or will I give up? 
I choose to keep going. I hope you do too. It’s worth the wait.
Let me get vulnerable for a moment and use the dream of being married as an example.
There are days I want to be married, because I desire companionship. It can get lonely at times going to sleep at night with six pillows and no one to share them with. There are days I can feel my fear of men creep up due to the trauma of sexual abuse, and I make the decision that I will be just fine by myself for the rest of my life. Then I see a couple sitting in the booth across from me at the restaurant with love in their eyes and my heart desires that. I am still pregnant with the dream.
I’m trusting God and relying on His timing. It may not be easy all the time, but I know that He will follow through with His promises.
So I trust. I wait. I hope. I dream. I push. I ask. I seek. I knock. I wait. 
Are you pushing through the pains of waiting?
Question: What dreams do you know you are close to giving birth to? How are you handling the waiting process? Comment below…
