Living the Dream (2 of 4)
Series: Begin Again
Lenny Ports
Joel 2:28
When we were in pre-school and Kindergarten, we were all asked the question, ''what do you want to be when you grow up?'' A professional baseball, football or basketball player, a ballerina or a musician, a firefighter or a policeman, a doctor or a dentist, a lawyer or a judge, a scientist or an engineer. No matter what came out of our mouths as little children, it was predicated upon a vision or a dream to become like someone that we looked up to. For me, it was to be a policeman. My dad was a cop and he wore his badge honorably. For me, I saw him dress up in his uniform every morning, shine his shoes, and put on his police hat, and best of all go out and get into his police car every day. Sometimes I would sit in his police car barely being able to look over the dashboard but looking at all the switches and gadgets inside the car and the lights on top of the car.

Your Heavenly Father, the One who loves you most, came all the way from Heaven to earth not only so that you would be with Him for eternity, but while you are here on earth, to fulfill a plan, a vision, a dream, His plan, His vision, His dream, a wonderful DREAM for your life.
God has a dream for you and it's more than marching orders, and it's more than just what's good for you, it is also a dream that He puts in you that fills and fulfills your heart. When we talk about dreams and visions in the Scriptures, we are talking about:
- A means by which God communicates to people,
