I had a very insightful dream today. In this dream there was a preteen girl who apparently had been labeled as mentally challenged. She looked like a normal preteen. In my dream God began talking to me about the girl saying that she is extremely intelligent but just not applying herself. He said she was being lazy.
So as I thought about this dream I began to pray for a successful school year. Especially for those students who have been mislabeled and were not expected to be very productive.
Then I started thinking about God saying that she was being lazy. She is extremely intelligent but not applying herself. For some reason being lazy jumped out at me. It made me realize that I may have been the girl in my dream. I have been being lazy about doing things that are going to bring about a change in my life. I want to work online but have been being lazy about posting on my blog and uploading videos to my youtube channel. I have so many great ideas but when it comes time to do it within the time frame that I have, I slack off and procrastinate.

As many children are going back to school today in my area, this feels like a new start for me, too. God has shown me myself. I’ve been praying for certain things to take off but doing the direct opposite. That reminds me of the person that kept praying to win the lottery but never played the lottery. Disclaimer: I’m not an advocate for playing the lottery. We reap what we have sown. If I’m not doing what I need to do to get the results that I want, then it is my fault. I won’t get a crop of tomatoes next summer if I never plant the seeds. I won’t get healthy if I never eat right. I won’t grow spiritually if I never read my bible or pray. My blog or youtube channel won’t grow if I fail to be consistent.
There are just some things that we deal with because of our lack of attention to making them improve. This is for me. I’m preaching to myself, here. If you can relate then I pray that we all do what we need to do to see the changes that we are wanting in our lives. In our weakness God’s strength is made perfect. Through His grace, we will do what needs to be done. We can do all things through Christ who gives us strength. He’s not going to do what we can do, but He will help us.
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
