What do you do with a 7-year dream that refuses to go away? Here’s what you do:

You fold your sleeves, get stuck in and chase it with every breath in you.

Don’t Quit On Your Dream

You don’t sit back; you step out.

You don’t wait on others for inspiration; you inspire yourself.

You don’t give up; you keep at it.

You will be discouraged along the way… but that’s okay. Discouragement is not enough to keep a man or woman with a vision down.

People will call you ‘crazy’ when you’re determined to live out your dream. But that’s cool. Allow it inspire rather than discourage you.

I know of a certainty that… (read the image quote):

I have lived through hopelessness and I have been knocked down so many times. I have been at the lowest points of life and have tasted pain, destitution and shame (read My Story of Hope).

But through these harsh experiences of life, I also learned the power to dream; to dream of a better tomorrow, to dream of inspiring a generation, to dream of telling my story to a world in desperate need of hope.

A 7-Year Dream Comes Alive

Allow me to share with you one of my many dreams – this time, a 7-year dream that became a reality a few days ago…

SELAH is more than a book (Christian devotional) – it’s a journey of life. It’s about a daily walk with an awesome God who gives grace to the lost and hope to the hopeless.

In 2004, I began sending daily text messages to members of my cell group. We were 6. By 2011, my list had grown to over 100 daily recipients. I was inspired by the testimonies of those who shared with me how the daily word encouraged and ministered to them personally.

It’s taken 7 years but it’s finally out. A dream is finally born!

Magnificent S-E-V-E-N For You
