I have been taught to dream big in a big God.   And the miraculous thing is, after all these years, I still do. I still believe He’s able to do far more than I could ever ask, think, or imagine.   Here's where I get hung up, two things actually...   Either I don’t know what it is I’m being called to in this season of life, OR I know what He is calling me
