Does anyone need some encouragement? Read On! Are you feeling frustrated about your current situation and feel as if you have hit a brick wall head first? Read On!

Are your dreams just out of reach? Read On!

While you are reaching for your dreams, go ahead and "Delight thyself also in the Lord and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart!" By the way, while you are at it, "Seek ye first the kingdom of God and all these things shall be added unto you."

What in the world does all of this mean? I believe every person goes through the experience of trying to figure all of this out. I sure didn't understand what God meant. I would just pray ok God, I believe, lay it on me, send it on down, and when he didn't, I walked in circles for years frustrated. Of course I am still learning, and I will never get it all figured out because God is so much bigger than my mind or heart.

Maybe frustrated is where you are living. If you will take the time to read this little testimony with an open mind and an open heart then I pray that God would speak to you and may use it to help you.

We cannot see into the future, but let's just pretend we could.

Let's imagine you are standing in front of two closed doors. The first door represents your dream for your life, the second door represents God's plan for your life.

On the first door there is a picture of you on the main stage at NQC thanking everyone for your fan award.
The second door shows you in a small country church handing out the Sunday morning bulletin for the next two years. Which one would you pick?

How incredible the yearning would be to choose door number one. So you open it only to find that behind that door was only another door that had the exact same picture on it. You are no better off than your were before you opened it. Before you know it, 10 years have passed and there you are in the same place.

What if you had chosen door number two? Let's open it and see! Because you were faithful and delighted to hand out the church bulletin as God wanted you to in the first place we find another door with a different picture. There you are with a mic in front of a crowd giving your testimony and singing a couple of songs.

As you are delighting yourself in God's plan, look there's another door! There you are ministering to a crowd of 2000 people at a campmeeting! Your are so happy and excited about all these doors and you remain faithful because you are learning that God has a plan for another door ahead!

Get the picture? This is how we follow God's plan. As we delight in it, we find ourselves happy and excited about what God has for us next. It is a process worth going through. As the process continues God may altar your dream to fit his plan and the result is joy and happiness. He is faithful to give you the desires of your heart! Just wait until you see what's behind door number 7! WOW!

Please pray for The Dunaways as we begin this month to work on our new Family Music Group project. We are so excited about this door of opportunity that God has given to us. 10 or so years ago for the first time, we chose to say no to our door and yes to God's door. It has been a sweet and precious process with each new door being just as exciting as the one before. There may not be fan awards in our future, but God has truly given us the desires of our heart. We are always excited and thankful about whatever God has for us to do next!
