And He that sat upon the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new”. And He said unto me, “Write: for these words are faithful and true.” Revelation 21:5

With God, you can be renewed anytime of the year; from past hurts, mistakes, pains, and failures. I love this video of Israel Houghton and the Worship Team at Lakewood Church singing “Moving Forward.” We sang this at my church on New Year’s eve and the song inspires me so much to leave behind the old and to follow God forward, into the great things He has planned. Watch and be blessed:

Moving Forward – Lyrics by Israel Houghton and Richardo Sanchez

I’m not going back, I’m moving ahead
I’m here to declare to you my past is over
In You, old things are made new
Surrender my life to Christ, I’m moving moving forward

What a moment, You have brought me to
Such a freedom, I have found in You
What a Healer, You make all things new
Yeah Yeah Yeah

You have risen, With all power in Your Hands
You have given me, A second Chance
Hallelujah Hallelujah

You make all things new, I will follow You – forward

May the beauty and true significance of the day grace you as we remember the true reason for the season, Jesus Christ!

Welcome to Dream in Soul, a collection of creative spiritual inspiration and encouragement.

Most everyone dreams, but to dream in soul is to dream beyond your own mind, beyond career aspirations and material possessions. Dreaming in soul is looking up and reaching to connect to God, and your purpose, for the reason He placed you on earth to carry out His will.

Here I want to share with others my own journey of pursuing God and searching for my purpose as a young woman, and the failures and discoveries that allow me to know Him more. I’ve always thought of myself as a dreamer, but I have a deep longing to dream more deliberately and use my creativity for the Kingdom.

I also want to share the beginning of a new ministry I am starting. I love art, writing, designing, and all things creative and have felt the yearning in my heart to create an extension my current marketing business to create a ministry for young people.

The ministry I am developing will include a special multimedia project and online community dedicated to inspiring young people to find their purpose in God, and to use their passions for Him. Though the project I also want to use my abilities to help ministries and all types of Christian artists and entrepreneurs that cater to youth present their messages to the world. I’ll tell you more about this special project later, and will invite you to come experience the project once it officially launches in a few months.

I invite you now to join me in dreaming in soul, and soaring into purpose. I hope you’re inspired, and will feel free to share your own spiritual discoveries along the way.

“I am a dreamer and sometimes when you have dreams you are met with obstacles, and your dreams will start to fade. But what I’ve found is that when God has given you a dream, no matter what it is, when you want to give up and believing becomes hard, and when you can’t go any further, the dream itself will start to believe for you. The dream itself will start to carry you through with visions and hope and encouragement.” – Tyler Perry (from www.tylerperry.com) Continue Reading »
