Whispers of Rest Book Club Video #3 (of 6): Dream As The Beloved: Don’t Despise Small Beginnings

By Bonnie Gray • June 19, 2017 • Leave a Comment

This was the very place I saw a Redwood Tree for the first time. I’d never seen anything so beautiful. I was just a 5th grader on my way to Science Camp and as the yellow school bus tottered down a tree lined lane, my life was about to be changed. This is exactly the same place I went to go to film today’s Whispers of Rest Book Study Video #3: Dream as the Beloved: Do Not Despise Small Beginnings.

Like seeds scattered in the wind, dreams can lie dormant, lost or broken. Life may seem easier without our dreams. But we weren’t made to simply do life as maintenance. There are God- Breathed Dreams planted in each of us that are still alive, even if we’ve left them behind.

Just like Ruth never expected she would find a Boaz while gathering leftovers in the fields for Naomi, you are not forgotten. The dream you dare to whisper in private—God hears. You are not overlooked.

Yes. Listen to the One who tenderly plants dreams in your heart, who never forgets He put them there – whisper to you in this week’s theme verse –

“I have loved you with an everlasting love;
I have drawn you with unfailing kindness.” Jeremiah. 31:3

Ready to dream together, friend? We are stepping into Part Three of my Book Whispers of Rest: Dreaming as the Beloved: Do Not Despise Small Beginnings. 

This week’s devotionals inspire you to rejuvenate your passion for life— and rediscover your God-Breathed dreams. God will recover whatever has been lost. You’ll find your passion again!

Now, before you dismiss this whole dreaming thing, ‘cuz you feel too tired to dream again, open your heart.  God’s dreams for you are God-breathed. As you rest, God will do the renewing. This week’s devos in the book guide you to rest, listen and receive.

Please order a copy of the book & you can join in anytime – this book club is Self-Paced!  We are having SO much fun sharing & encouraging each other in our Private FB Group! .

Today’s Book Club Video #3 happens on my Facebook Page – that is where we will all be commenting and where I will be reading your comments & also replying.
