This song has been on repeat today. Let me tell you why.

If you know me you probably know I’m a planner. I like spontaneity too but I like to know where I’m headed and how I’m going to get there. You may or may not also know that I’m a dreamer too. Dreaming has always been a big thing for me and a big part of my life. Dreams keep the vision alive and gives one something to look forward to. 

For those of us that are both planners and dreamers, often there is a tension between what is current reality versus what one is dreaming of reality being. It’s like two worlds colliding in an epic battle of tug-of-war. Planners who are also dreamers have to be careful of not falling into the temptation of believing that the next thing, the next move, or the next major life change will make them happy and fulfilled. 

At age 14 I had my life planned out with what I knew God wanted and where and how I was going to get there. What I didn’t fully know at that age was all that it would take to make those dreams and plans come to life. Learning even as an adult that life doesn’t always play out how you think it will. I can do my best at planning but sometimes even those plans fail. I can do my best at dreaming and sometimes even dreams can let you down. 

So what do you do with failed plans and dreams you didn’t get to see fulfilled? What do you do when life doesn’t go how YOU thought it should go? I have four words to answer that. Let go and trust. That’s it. You have to let go of all you thought would have been, could have been or should have been. And, you have to trust that God is a better author, planner and dream giver of our lives than we ever could be. 

So, if today you find yourself caught in a chasm of disappointment because of failed plans, dreams yet to be fulfilled or even failed dreams, give this song a listen. But more than just give this song a listen, let go and trust God. Sometimes what we thought was a casket is really just a carrier of hope.  Carrying us into God’s dreams and God‘s plans for us which are far better than what we could have ever come up with ourselves. ❤️

Jesus – Family – Coffee I have been pastoring for 19 years, 17 of those years have been full-time. I was not always raised in a Christ-centered home. My parents from a very early age took advantage of the “free child care” on Sundays at a small Assemblies of God church in Fruita, Colorado. It was there that I not only received Christ at age 5, but began walking out that faith boldly to my parents who finally joined me 2 years later and eventually also received Christ. I married my wife, Heather in 2005 and we now have 3 amazing kids together.
