10 Days of Raising Boys: Dream BIG!

Welcome to our first day of Raising Boys! I'm a mom of 5 sons, ages 20, 18, 15, 6, and 4, and BOY have I learned a few things along the way. Still learning.

Every day, I want to help my sons learn to DREAM BIG. Whatever it is they believe God wants them to do, I want them to know that they can dream big, pursue His plans, and reroute whenever they know that God is redirecting and writing their story.

I wasted a lot of years planning how my older sons would "turn out". In my controlling, fear-based, short-sided vision, I saw a version of them that wasn't a big dream and it certainly wasn't God's idea. God's ideas were much, much cooler than mine.

And God wants us to dream big dreams for His glory. Getting to be the cheerleader who says, "Go for it!" to my sons is one of the most exciting facets of raising boys.

DREAM BIG, my sons! There's no limit to what you can do to the glory of God!
