I always wanted to be a News Reporter. Really. We all have those dream jobs that we knew we could have when we grew up. Problem is many never get their dream job. But I propose today that many of you might have your dream job and not recognize it. You may even be right in the middle of job training. Don't give up!
I began pursuing my dream in 1974 when I started at West Virginia University. My major was Journalism and Communication. I did great in all my classes except Biology and Chemistry, but I didn't want to be a Chemist or a Scientist. Then I met my husband and he wasn't keen on the idea of marrying a woman that carried a brief case and went around the world reporting the news. I had a dream but there was an unexpected detour. I married in 1977 just three years into my degree. Then three years later we began our family. I never thought my dream would be resurrected. But God. God had a plan and when I yielded to that plan God did all the rest. God is a God of Resurrections.
When I made Christ the Lord and Master of my life He immediately took me to another country actually three countries to report the "Good News". God had given me the desire of my heart but in a very unexpected way. I never said I wanted to grow up and be a preacher or pastor or prophet or any of the titles or hats I wear. I just wanted to report the news. To be on TV and talk on a microphone to people. I had a dream but God had a plan.
Most people think making Jesus Lord of their life means losing something they want, when in reality it means gain not loss. God creates us for a plan and a purpose. Interruptions are God's opportunities to do a miracle in which He gets all the glory. Mary and Martha sent for Jesus to come heal their brother. Before Jesus got there he was interrupted and in the mean time their brother died. But Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead. There are no dead ends with God.

Romans 8:28 (KJV) "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose."
Never give up on your dreams! God is a dream keeper not a grim reaper.
