Dream Big

The other night at BASIC (a small group program at Bluffton which stands for Brothers And Sisters In Christ) I had my girls fill out their personal kite. Picture an outline of a kite, divided into 5 sections. The titles of the sections are your biggest hope for the year, your biggest challenge, your greatest fear, how you would like others to percieve you, and what you would like to gain from your experiences this year. Then in the kite tail, you write three words that describe you. I'm not going to lie, I love doing self-discovery activities like this. It's a good personal reminder of who I am and what I want. AND it's so fun to read other people's.



Anyway, I recommend reading Bruce Wilkinson's book The Dream Giver. Questions we asked were What did you want to be when you grew up? What about us as women affect our big dreams? How do we find out our big dreams?



It was interesting to hear these women talk about their dreams, mostly because I am so out of touch with mine. Am I waiting for the dream giver to give me my dream, or do I have it already? If I have it, then am I scared to leave Familiar, or do I just need a confirmation ticket?
