Testimony 13/09/05: Not Quite Like
Once my friends asked me what I want to do after I finish my degree. “I want to work in the zoo,” I always answered. Even though I was to graduate as a marketer, I always dreamt to work in Melbourne zoo. “I can market the zoo,” I reasoned, although I really wanted to be a zookeeper instead. Oh how I love animals!
Now I have completed my undergraduate. I never had the qualifications or the opportunity to work in the zoo.
But! I am in charge of all the animals at home now! Turtles, tortoises, dogs, fish… I am a zookeeper! Even though not quite the way I have imagined. I know I’m going to have a good time.
I remember another dream in my heart. I used to imagine being a children-book writer. I read a lot of children’s books, learn how to write, I took drawing lesson and I joined Sunday school.
I had never put together a children book though. I thought I would never be a writer. But now I find myself writing my own blog. Simple, though not quite like what I have imagined.
God does not despise a small beginning. He knows my dreams and desires. He is the One who has planted them in my heart! Who knows where God will bring me after this!
Do you have a dream so small you think it is insignificant? Or a dream so BIG you don’t even dare to say it out loud? Are things going not quite like what you have always dreamt? Do not abort! Jesus is the dream giver. Commit it to Him and He will bring it to pass.
