Dreams and Doubt

As a planner I like having a goal and moving toward it. But the way God has used me has been walking me into small opportunities for ministry, and I engage and try my best. So these small engagements sometimes feel like I'm not doing much, really. And that's not because I want to claim any credit. I'm quite clear that this is Gods power and anointing, and for His glory. I just don't seem to have that big dream. And I'm a passionate person that wants to have an impact in the Lords power. So in talking to him, I motioned with my arms extending one at a time in circular motion, saying "I don't want just this one thing, then the next, then the next.." I had an instant image of a flower, with petals opening one then the next...and sensed God saying, isn't that how a flower opens? He knows I love flowers and photograph them to reveal his glory, particularly close up, inside the beauty of this creation. An image is worth a thousand words, of which I had none.
