A few weeks ago we watched this video at church. It is the story of the dream of Veggie Tales creator, Phil Vischer, who had a dream that died. It reminded me of a dream I had once. A dream of operating a gym for women in India.
The gym was great and horrible at the same time. But of course now that I am several years after the gym closed what I really remember is how great it was. I had such great friendships with the ladies who came to the gym. I really got to be a part of their lives. And that is what mattered. And what I thought mattered to God. But then the gym closed and I no longer had the excuse to be with the ladies each day. I missed those friendships. I missed the status I had of owning a gym in India. I missed having a purpose each day. What was God doing?
I still don't know why God allowed the gym to close, except I know it was for my good. Because everything God does is done out of love. So when I can't see or understand God's path he is taking me down, at least I can know that He knows the way.
1 The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
3 he refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths
for his name’s sake.
4 Even though I walk
through the darkest valley,[a]
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures,

they comfort me.
The lessons from the video are:
God Loves Me
Don't worry about the outcome, my job is simply to do what he asks
Beware of your dreams, for dreams make dangerous friends (Because God is enough)
