“Just as a target is designed to narrow the aim of an arrow, God uses the desires of our hearts to narrow the focus of where He wants our lives to make a mark for eternity” (p. 144). Do you believe God created you with unique desires and dreams? If you know what they are, list them.
I absolutely believe that God creates us with unique desires and dreams, but I’m not sure I know what all of mine are anymore because I spend so much time push them back.
Some of my greatest desires are:
Being loved/cherished/wanted
Raising children that love others and love God
Encourage those around me
Helping others
Making the unloved feel loved (especially children)
Showing others the good they overlook
To have my family feel whole
To not be embarrassed (or have my children be embarrassed) about my life
To not have to daily worry about how to make ends meet (or almost meet)
Some of my greatest dreams are:
To travel
To learn to be content
For my children to grow up healthy and be happy doing something that makes them feel alive; to marry good people that treat them with love, respect, adoration and honor; to raise families with solid Christian ideals
To be seen as having my father’s and my Father’s eyes and to make a difference like they did
To live my life fully for and in God
