Dreams Made Real

It's amazing how much God talks to us. It's all the time! We just don't stop and listen so we miss almost all of it. The sad part is that it just takes a moment to rest in His presence to hear His voice. When I do that, I'm always surprised. I shouldn't be, but I am.

I've been working on writing a new book and I reached a place where I just stopped. It's not the end of the story, I just didn't know where to go next. So I took a break. I closed my eyes and asked God to show me the next part of the story. At first, I didn't hear anything. Eventually I heard Him say that He's already given me the story, the whole thing, I just need to relax and let it come to me. I thought, I already have the whole thing? "Yes", He said. "I wouldn't give you just a part of it."

I was thinking about that and my mind wandered to something else. I was trying to figure out the sales tax on a certain amount, so I picked up a my calculator and worked it out. As I sat there looking at the numbers, I noticed that a message had been printed at the top of the calculator. It said, "dreams made real". I've had that calculator for years and never seen that before. I thought about dreams being made real and I felt God smile. He's so good.
