Dream Big for Your Littles.
This morning I came across a video of a worship song from
Bethel Music and leading it was Peyton Allen, a young man fully anointed and so
talented. Ten seconds into the song I was bawling my eyes out. Like full on
ugly cry. I sat for a moment, felt the emotions overcome my heart, and then I
asked the Spirit “what is this that I’m feeling?”, “why am I feeling it?”, “why
is it so heavy”, “what are you showing me Lord?”.
He let me sit in for a little longer before speaking to my heart
and giving me this incredibly beautiful vision. Friends, He’s good and He's capable of showing us the most amazing things if we are willing to open our
hearts and eyes to see it. I watched this young man lead this song that I’ve led myself,
but you know what I saw? I saw my boys leading it, I saw my boy’s arms lifted
high singing to their King, I saw my boys growing into these strong passionate
leaders for Christ. I saw a beautiful vision of the hope and prayers I have
placed in Christ for my boy’s future. Then He spoke to my heart and reminded me
to “dream big for your littles”.
.
We spend a lot of our lives dreaming big for ourselves.
Praying and hoping for His will to accomplish the desires of our hearts, but
this morning I’m reminded that as a mother I’m to dream big for my littles as
well. I was reminded this weekend by a friend that my boys belong to the Lord; it’s my job
to parent them and protect them, but I must remember that it’s also my job to
trust Christ with them. That’s not easy for me.
Today, not only am I learning to trust Him more with my
children, I’m learning that I get to dream big for them too. That I get to pray
amazing things for their future, that I get to pray over their friends, their
relationships, their accomplishments, even their mistakes. I get to pray over these
things; I get to trust in Christ with them. I’m grateful for this beautiful
reminder today.
Wherever you’re at in your parenting walk, I pray you are
encouraged today. I pray you can trust Christ more with your children and that
you are dreaming big for them.
Grab some tissues and watch the video below that moved my heart so deeply this morning. I can’t imagine the feeling Peyton’s parents feel watching him lead worship. I can’t wait for that day as a parent!!!
xoxo,
Krista
