Are you doing what you are really meant for? We all have phases where we have to do jobs just to make money and support ourselves, but you don't want to live your whole life this way.
Maybe your dreams have more to do with traveling or building the home of your dreams, instead of being career related. The key is to press into the greatest desires of your heart. Then spend time talking to God about them.
Here are some questions to ask Holy Spirit to help you understand your dream.
Why is this desire of your heart?
What are you hoping to gain?
What would your life look like if you got exactly what you dreamed up?
Is there anything sinful wrapped up in this dream?
If the answer is yes, then you don't automatically let it go.
Take time to repent of the things that need to be pulled out of this dream. Then decide if it's still something you want.
Story Time:
When I was around 5 years old, I had wanted to live in Clarion and marry a pig farmer. This carried on into 1st grade, during a school project I expressed the desire to be just like my mom.
As I grew life wasn't as simple. I had surface level desires that probably came from movies. When I pictured my life, I imagined living in a city. My husband worked a fancy business job and wore a suit to work everyday. I never got very in depth with that part.
Deep down into my core I prayed to God to give me a good family. I wanted a big extended family to have people to spend Christmas and other holidays, playing games and making memories. I knew I didn't care about money, but just wanted a solid life. I prayed often for God to give me a good family.
Interestingly, I got the blend of my heart's desire from 5 years old and my teenage prayers. I live in the community I grew up in, my husband farms, and we have been blessed with an amazing family. I feel like God gave me exactly what I prayed for down to the house I live in.
I looked for God in each step of the way. My husband and I have some wild stories about things God did that led us to getting married. We also knew that having a spouse that had strong faith and was involved in church was a high priority to us.
Let me help you learn to reflect and learn to examine your behavior, so you can follow your dreams.
