 "If I could do anything in the
world, I’d . . ." Did you know
your deepest dreams and yearnings are planted
within you by God, who may have bigger plans for
those dreams than you’ve ever imagined?
A one-day seminar balancing leader
input, small group sharing, and personal workbook
time.
Surrounded by piles of laundry,
clamoring families, demanding bosses, busy
churches, and a To Do list that grows while we
sleep, women of faith may limit dreams and
yearnings to getting the latest project at work
completed, or the children to bed early enough to
do fifteen minutes of cross-stitch. But it can be
dangerous to ignore the larger dreams and
yearnings of our hearts. God may have plans for
those dreams!
This seminar and its accompanying
workbook offers women the chance to spend a day
apart considering the deepest yearnings of our
hearts, and how those yearnings may fit into
God’s plan for the world. Using
illustrations of biblical and other women who
have said "Yes" to their dreams, women
are encouraged to name their own dreams, and
prayerfully consider how to put wings under them.

TOPICS
COVERED:
God has a
plan.
God’s plan for us is described in
Jeremiah 29:11: "a plan for your welfare and
not for harm, to give you a future with
hope." Could the dream God has planted
within me be part of God’s plan for the
entire world?
What keeps us
from dreaming?
Saboteurs such as lack of time, lack
of money, other people’s needs and even fear
of success that persuade many women to put dreams
on permanent hold. How can I overcome those
saboteurs and begin to turn my dreams into
reality?
Is this my
dream, or somebody else’s?
If we don't plan our lives, somebody
else will. How can I be sure I'm dreaming my
dream, and not somebody else's dream for me? How
can I tailor my dream to my own unique
personality type, interests, abilities, preferred
schedule,and yearnings?
Committing To
God’s Plan for Me
A dream requires commitment. Am I
ready for that? How committed can I be at this
particular time of my life? What will I do to
express that commitment?
