When was the last time you allowed yourself to dream?

We all need regular check-ins with ourselves where we think, plan, and envision the life we want to live. We often get so caught up in our day to day life that we forget to take the time to dream.

Well I’ve decided this is the summer to pause and reflect. It’s time to be bored. Because when you get bored, you think. Your mind wonders. You think about what you really, really want. You dream.

This year is the year I turn 50! Rather than having a mid-life crisis, I am having a mid-life desire to be intentional about my life. I am challenging myself to create the space I need to evaluate the dreams I’ve had, the dreams I still have, and the dreams I thought I would no longer have the opportunity to fulfill. I am letting myself think about the girl I want to be and the life I desire to live in this next season. This is my Dream Girl Summer.

And, I am inviting you along for the journey. 

I don’t just want you to dream though. I want you to do something about your dreams. You are the only one who can fight for the dream of you. You have the power to decide what you want to do with your life. I want you to notice what’s rising up in your soul. And then I want you to fight for it. 

So, what is in you that needs to rise up and come out?

It’s time to dream. It’s time to remember who you want to be. Write it down. Then decide which things you are going to make happen. You have the power inside of you to bring it to life.

I pray as you listen to this Coffee With Chrystal a fire will ignite inside of you. I pray you will begin to really think about what you want to do with your life and what it’s going to take to achieve it. There’s a girl inside of you God designed you to be and if you are not living the life you desire then it’s time to get to work and reimagine your life by intentionally:

  • Giving yourself space to be bored
  • Fighting for the thing you’ve dreamed about, and
  • Recognizing you have the power to achieve your dream

The Dream Girl you would like to be is just waiting for you to rise up and meet her.
