Dreams.

My dream is to start my own school. It's a big dream. Lord if you want to use me in this process, go for it. I am Yours. I want to be used solely for Your purpose. My dream for this school would be that it would double as an orphanage. That children would be able to live, learn, dream, be encouraged, and be filled by Your Presence.

This dream started when I realized so many children are living in dysfunctional families, have been left by their parents, are living in poverty, and have been stripped of encouragement and purpose. Many students in my classroom now fit these categories and it absolutely breaks my heart and brings me to tears I can't control. Even if it has been a hard day at school, I still want to take them home with me. They are precious in God's eyes, so precious and pure. Why are they having to suffer from circumstances they have no control over, at such a young age? Why was I blessed to grow up in a functional, loving home? Why was I not in their shoes when I was 8 years old? I don't know the answers to these questions, nor do I want to know the answers, but I do know many Truths. I know God has called me to love these children, I know God is faithful, I know God is huge and can work miracles, I know God is present in that classroom. I feel His Presence every second of the day. I know He is for those sweet children. I know He is.

Lord, use the heck out of me. Please Lord. I am asking You to use me, no matter the circumstances, no matter how hard it may be. My purpose is to spread Your kingdom and I know You will provide all the steps and guidance in order to fulfill this purpose. I know You will. I just know it.
