I woke up this morning, full of energy, regardless that I was up all night with my little baby, feeding her hungry little tummy every 3 and a half hours. "Hmmm...my very first blog post! How exciting! What to write what to write?" Then it came to me:
Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you" declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future..."

God has a plan for you! A dream for your life. And it is a good plan, full of hope! I was very surprised at the turns my life have made. If you had told me when I was 21 one that in a few years I would be a gospel singer, I would never have believed you. When God revealed that to me when I was about 24 I didn't believe Him either. It took me a while to line up my thinking with God's thinking. I tried other things first, but it never fulfilled me. Like Jonah, I tried to run away from my calling, but God patiently showed me, that in His perfect will for my life I would be completely happy. I wouldn't feel like I didn't fit or belong, if i was doing what he had called me to do.

Not all of us are called into ministry, many are called into business, engineering, real estate, teaching, art, whatever it is: I believe that there is a perfect purpose for our lifes that God custom designed us for, but our first purpose is to be a follower of Christ, a child of God. All of us where custom designed to be loved by God and to love Him back!

Now what is the dream God has put in your heart?
