Write your dreams down

So... Yesterday I got my gym pass - very excited about that! 1yrs membership for a bargain price of £150! And it gives me access to all 7 leisure centre's in the council.. this is pretty much unheard of in London, so I grabbed it with both hands! On my lunch break I went down and got my photo I.D, and then this morning, I woke up at 6am to go to the gym before work!

Since being in London, I have been blessed with the opportunity to hear amazing speakers.. one which stands out right now, is Helen Burns, and at a womens conference she spoke about dreams. God puts amazing dreams into our hearts - this is His way of showing us that there is an amazing future ahead of us and these dreams are like glimpses into a possible future. After hearing this message, I sat down and tried to see these dreams, and write them down.. if you write them down, you can visualise and strive for them. I couldnt see much then.. mainly because I had mentally capped my potential. But now.. an opportunity has come up, to go to Africa and change the lives of children who have absolutely nothing - not even parents. I'm talking about children who are orphaned through aids.
So... this is my dream, my goal.. and here I am, writing it down.

I am going to Africa in June to build a house for the kids in Uganda.
Africa is going to be hot, and hard work. I'm not the smallest of people in the world, and hence the start of this post.. I have joined a gym. (God has blessed this with it being SO CHEAP!). I am not going to help starving children when I am overweight. That is just immoral to me... So my goal is to lose weight... a lot of weight! I want to be able to play with these kids, go on a hike to see the rhino's (or whatever I find!), and build this house without dying of exhaustion!

So there you go.. Please keep me accountable of this. I am doing this for myself, for the kids, for my dream, and ultimately, for God.
