CHAPTER 1

Become Your Dream


Teacher, what dream and desire is in your heart? Do you have a dream to fulfill? It is time to set your mind with the intention. How do you make your dream come true? To manifest a desire, you need to have a sense of purpose. In doing so, you attract your wants unto yourself with your thinking, using carefully chosen words and taking the initiative in envisioning, expressing, and writing down your specific desire.

Do you dream of a good school year? What is your plan? By focusing on that plan and creating your path with determination and without deviation or wavering, you turn your wishes into reality. Remain steadfast through the times you feel your desires will never come to pass. As you wait, you might think your wishes could die completely. Be persistent, though. When one dream dies, dream another! Do not give up on your dreams!

How deep is your relationship with God? Keep in mind, we are God's dream and He created us for His purpose to have a relationship with Him through prayer. The intention of prayer drives our purpose. This purpose takes on a deeper meaning when we know we belong to the Holy Father with the intentionality to fulfill the dream He instilled in our hearts. As a result, it drives our passion to work hard to achieve our goals.


Scripture:

And the Lord answered me: Write the vision; make it plain on tablets, so he may run who reads it. For still the vision awaits its appointed time; it hastens to the end — it will not lie. If it seems slow, wait for it; it will surely come; it will not delay.

Habakkuk 2:2-3 (ESV)


He said, "Hear now My words: If there is a prophet among you, I, the Lord shall make Myself known to him in a vision. I shall speak with him in a dream.

Numbers 12:6 (NASB)


The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me; your steadfast love, O Lord, endures forever. Do not forsake the work of your hands.

Psalm 138:8 (ESV)


Then he dreamed another dream and told it to his brothers and said, "Behold, I have dreamed another dream. Behold, the sun, the moon, and eleven stars were bowing down to me.

Genesis 37:9 (ESV)


Experiences:

How did we fulfill our dreams? We both knew from a young age we wanted to be teachers. When college approached, a friend's mother who was a nurse encouraged Claire to go into nursing. Claire started college thinking she would be a nurse, but the passion was not there. Since kindergarten, her dream was to become a teacher; therefore, she switched her major to Elementary Education. This is when she flourished and enjoyed the course work. Claire is happy in a productive career without regret.

Karen dreamed of being a teacher since second grade as she played school with her brother growing up. Of course, she was always the teacher. Every class she took was for this career, and went on to become not only an elementary teacher but a teacher librarian as well. Karen experiences much success and enjoyment in this profession.

Dreaming and desires are biblical concepts. These come from the Lord. There is nothing wrong with having big goals and asking the Lord to create these desires collectively with Him.

Do you have an assignment? Are you prepared to fulfill it? We believe He has given us a specific assignment to fulfill, and He also has given us the ability to accomplish that assignment using our talents and our determination to complete it. Sometimes we can lose sight of how to achieve our dreams and we must ask God for direction.

Along the way, the Lord moves the right people into our paths to mentor us. We are thankful we are placed on the right road to complete our destiny and are created to help each other to further His kingdom. We live with abundance and prosperity, along with joy, happiness, and good health. We are God's children and every parent wants to see their children succeed.


Confirmations:

• I am fulfilling my dreams.

• I am steadfast with my dream (state your dream).

• I am determined without wavering.

• I am decisive with my intentions in pursuing my goal.

• I am manifesting my dream.


Envision and Express the Following:

• I view myself successful in whatever I do.

• I see myself taking steps closer to my dream.

• I perceive myself on the righteous path without fear.

• I see myself planning and staying focused on my desire.

• My shepherd is leading me to the right path.

• I declare my dreams are coming to pass.

• What is in heaven will manifest itself on earth.

• My shield of faith and the sword, the Word of God, protects me from the enemy.

• I believe and I receive. Amen.


My desires are ...

CHAPTER 2

Stewardship


We are God's stewards and are responsible for managing what He has given to us, as everything belongs to Him. Our Creator entrusts these things to us and we are accountable for how well we manage them. What are some things God is entrusting to you? For us, this includes our wisdom, relationships, knowledge, time, and our finances. As we oversee a few things with good intention, many things will come...
