The Laughing Pew

Congratulations, Second Baptist Church, on a job well done! God brought your desires and dreams to fruition, without even having a dream interpreter, as in the Old Testament. God used His people to carry out the plans. He had them dream, and now the dream is a reality. That is also great leadership, which produces great “followship,” and great fellowship. From many years ago to currently, the vision of Second Baptist was written on the wall, and it did not fade. That’s why we can walk be faith, not by sight. God planted the seed!

I wanted to share the below recovery meditation from July 19th. Right after your dreams came to be. God wants to give everyone an opportunity to dream, and if we trust Him, He will cause our dreams to become our really. This is entitled: “Fulfilling Our Dreams.” called according to His purpose. Rom 8:28

All things begin with a dream. But how many of us fulfilled our dreams while using? Even if we managed to complete something we had started, our addiction usually robbed us of any pride in our accomplishment. Perhaps when we used, we dreamed of the day when we would be clean. That day has come. We can use this day to make our dreams come true.

To fulfill our dreams we must take action, but our lack of self-confidence may keep us from trying. We can begin by setting realistic goals. The success we experience, when we attain our initial goals, allows us to dream bigger dreams the next time around. Some of our members share that when they compare the ambitions they had when they first got clean with what they have actually achieved in recovery, they are astounded. In recovery, we often find more dreams come true than we could ever have imagined. Just for today: I will remember that all things begin with a dream. Today, I will allow myself to make my dreams come true. Copyright © 1991-2021 by Narcotics Anonymous World Services, Inc. All Rights Reserved

We know that all things work together for the good, to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. Rom 8:28
