  • Episode # 012 Dreamer’s seemingly Unending Physical, Emotional, and Mental Painful Encounters.
    Feb 22 2024

    We Share a Practical Example of a Dreamer’s seemingly Unending Physical, Emotional, and Mental Painful Encounters. However, through His Perseverance, humility, and Unwavering Integrity, His dream Came to Realization.
    The Biblical Example of Joseph, "The Dreamer."     
    Dreams and aspirations are almost always hard to achieve due to the terrain across valleys and the difficult seasons of one's life. The valley journey is often through hunger, failure, disappointment, depression, loneliness, and pain. However, life dreams, childhood imaginations, aspirations, work, and ministry become valuable, desirable, breakthrough, and sought-after entities and reality in the valley. " 

    The biblical Joseph's journey to realizing his dreams is a perfect example of an individual dreamer's encounters and experiences on the way to dream realization. To some, the dreamer's challenges began very early on in life. Like Joseph, right from birth, Rachael, Joseph's birth mother, experienced delayed childbirth, defiling all efforts. Dealing with the rivals of the three other wives of Jacob, who have given birth multiple times, Rachael, in her frustration and deep sorrow, Rachael said to her husband Jacob, "Give me children or else I die." Joseph's challenges or obstacles began with: 
    Bereavement, Hatred, Envy, Violence, Conspiracy, Betrayal, Sadism, Deception, and More.
    Integrity is a virtue that cannot be ignored, the backdrop of honesty, dignity, compassion, trust, and fairness.

    As children, we all have childhood aspirations and dreams; as we grow up, these childhood hopes, dreams, and aspirations form the foundational compass of our lives, adventures, and who we become. However, unfulfilled dreams result from life challenges, and tragedies begin to unfold; we lose hope and drive to the seemingly unstoppable wildest dream. 

    As we mature, our dreams and passion take form and meaning! Including a hobby, a cause you believe in, an abstract idea like competition, becoming a pilot, superheroes, famous artists, becoming empathetic and compassionate such as making a difference in other people's lives, a desire to become a caregiver, a nurse, doctor, Chaplain, Spiritual care provider, open welfare home, desire to make the world a better place, and feed people experiencing poverty.

  • Episode # 0010 YOUR VALLEY SEASON IS YOUR GROWTH SEASON!
    Feb 3 2024

    Eleanor Roosevelt wrote, “People grow through experience if they meet life honestly and courageously. This is how character is built.”
     Write sets of values you plan to live with.
    I must go on boasting…But He said, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is 
    made perfect in weakness.” Therefore, I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. For Christ's sake, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, I am strong” (2 Corinthians 12:1-10).
    God wanted you to understand a mystery about Him; weakness is God’s raw material for glory; pain is His raw material for gain; the cross is His raw material for the crown; and the valley phase of life is the raw material for the value phase. Your life, dreams, work, and ministry are turned into valuable, desirable, sought-after entities/reality in the valley, i.e. (the difficult seasons of your life). Some people missed these mysteries by giving up too soon, and others  sadly entertained thoughts of suicide and would have stopped their dreams from coming to fruition. The journey through the valley is often through hunger, failure, disappointment, depression, loneliness, and pain. It does not always make sense; God’s achievement process is often paradoxical; knowing that no valley experience is a waste with God is expedient. It seemed that God’s educational systems and His universities are set up in the valleys 
    (low seasons of life), while in the mountains, we celebrate breakthroughs and graduation
    ceremonies.
