Let your life count!

About a week ago, my husband challenged me.

He said - Don't underestimate your gifts, how much you hear from God and how much you have to give. At that time, I was just waking up and I really didn't want to hear it, but I smiled at him and said - ok.

Last night I had this dream. In my dream it was like I was watching a movie and I was in the movie. I am walking around going through some streets and then I'm standing next to a wall. All the sudden there's a truck coming towards the wall, the truck hits the wall and next thing I know, I am laying there on the ground. In the dream I can feel my life leaving my body... I realize I'm dying, then I say to myself: "Let your life count" .... then I die. I immediately wake up.

I 'm getting ready for work with these words resounding in my spirit... let your life count... let your life count. Hmmm. So, I write these words on FB and just keep them in my heart.

Tonight during the service, Cindy Jacobs was sharing a powerful story and she started saying that same phrase... let your life count.... I was just totally freaking out, because at the end of the story that she was telling, the three people she was talking about, they die. One of them- her last words were " let your life count".

I don't think my life is ending. However, I am dying to many things in my life and many fears that I have had for a long time. I believe that is what the death in my dream represented. It's really given me alot to think about.

I wonder how many times I have set aside words, thoughts, inspirations, feelings, and dreams and how would my life be different right now, if I would have followed through. I know there's a time and season for everything, but now more than ever I am really aware of how much God is speaking to me and that He has so many dreams for me to fulfill.

One of the reasons why I started writing my thoughts on this blog was so that I would have a place where I could express myself and not bury my dreams. I don't know if anyone is reading, or if it's even making a difference to anyone out there... I am doing this for me, and it's making a difference in me. I am giving life to my dreams and inspirations and I am making my life count.

At the end of the service, Cindy Jacobs compelled us to ask the Lord to "PICK ME!"

I said to the Lord, "PICK ME!"

And He said to me: I did...

"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find [Me], when you search for Me with all your heart." Jeremiah 29:11-13
