Anchors For Dreams

I’ve been taking Mondays to talk about dreams.  If you’ve noticed, I believe that for believers in Christ, our dreams come from God.  So, once you believe that He has given you a dream, how do you make that dream a reality?  I think something you need are anchors for those dreams.  They will keep you grounded and not just float away in any direction with the dream.  Below are the anchors I have for my dream(s).  Yours may be different, but I hope that mine will give you some ideas.

1. God and Christ.  I don’t differentiate between these.  I try to measure all of my dreams by what will honor and glorify God and His Son.
2. Family.  If my family can’t behind my dream, then I need to rethink it.
3. Work.  Unless my dream can take the place of my day job, I must give my all to my day job so I can pursue my dream.
4. Church.  I want to share my dream with those in my church so they can pray and support me.
5. Finances.  I must be a good steward of my finances so tha I can pursue my dream.
6. Personal Growth.  I will seek to grow in the area of my dream so that I can excel and pursue it with skill
7. Time.  It takes time to pursue a dream.  I may have to sacrifice time for some things in order to pursue it.
8. Health.  I cannot pursue my dream to the detriment of my health.
9. Recreation.  Sometimes I need to take a break from my dream, in order to be more creative in pursuit of my dream.

Those are the anchors that I have established in order to pursue my dream.  They are there to keep me and my dream from just drifting away.  You may have others.  Don’t limit yourself to mine.

Do you have anchors for your dreams?  What are they?
