Dreams & Purpose


During class Susan felt prompted to talk with the kids about what they think their purpose in life might be in respect to the life choices they make, what dreams they think God has placed in their hearts. Some of their dreams included:

- Soccer player
- Accountant
- Celebrity
- Social Worker
- Business Woman
- Police Officer
- Miner
- Doctor

In their conversation one young woman asked "How can I attain my dreams, if I have no one to support me?"


Susan expressed how that touched her deep in her soul. That it led her to share how all things are possible through Christ and how everything in Heaven and on Earth is God's and He decides. Susan said to me that she felt as if God was softly nudging her heart about what she said. That since her encounter with this dear soul that she has wondered how will this young woman hold on to that dream if she is left with no hope... wonder what are the odds that she makes good choices and wonder... will she continue to believe that she has something to look forward to — like college.

Having the opportunity to attend college may allow this young woman to realize how valuable she is to her Creator.

I am amazed at how these children have such a lovely response to unlovely circumstances and praise God for it!
