A Wise Woman once told me to Dream Small...

Experiences can create two very different emotions - delight or hatred. I can think of many experiences in my life that I don’t want to repeat and some I would gladly do over again.

[]Roofing a house - Hatred (but is there anyone that would describe this as delightful?)

[]Eating Korean Food (especially Kimchi) - Delight!!!

[]Pushing my way through a crowd full of people - Hatred!

[]Thunderstorms - Delight
[]Amusement Parks - Hatred (this is a compilation of a lot of things I hate - crowds, sweating, and spinning around.)
[]Numbers - Delight (Weird but I love them and wish they could solve all the world problems!)
[]Hanging Out with my ridiculously amazing husband and kids - Delight

[]Digging Deep into Someone’s Life and getting to know them - Delight
[]Organizing people, processes, and numbers - Delight

I guess I wrote this list realizing that as I get older, I am becoming deeply aware of where I fit in the body of Christ and where I don’t. I am more aware than ever what I can do and what I cannot do. The past week has been full of some things I don’t like - like painting a room by myself with no-one to talk to. Like going to Lowe’s 500 times because I am not an expert in lights for showers and more. It has been sprinkled with things I love though: people. Working with people, talking with people, and enabling people to work as a team. The project is done for now, and I realize how beautiful it is to work in our gifting. My friend Melissa told me about a song she listened to this week that was titled, “Dream Small.” I think I would define that as - Dream Big within your gifting - Dream small outside of your gifting. I’m good at what I do, and I’m very bad at what you do, and isn’t that a beautiful thing?
