‘So many of our dreams at first seem impossible, then they become improbable, and then when we summon the will, they soon become inevitable.’ Christopher Reeve
There are three stages in the development of a dream – as outlined by Christopher Reeve. As a dreamer, allow these three words to empower you. Let them fill you with excitement as you continue to take the step by step process towards the fulfillment of your dream. For to live with dreams, chasing dreams, expecting dreams – is to truly live.
1. Impossible – This is stage one when you have defined your dream. If it’s not impossible then I don’t believe you have dreamed BIG enough. So stretch a little more until your dream is – in your own capacity – truly impossible.
That’s a dream worth living for, or even dying for.
2. Improbable – It’s amazing who is targeted by a dream. For the dream often finds you long before you have ever found it. As you look around, you may stop for a moment and say, ‘That guy is so much more talented than me’, or ‘that girl has more money than I have to pull off such a huge dream’. ‘Look they have the connections, the experience. It’s so improbable that I could ever pull off such a dream.’
Peter G. James Sinclair , the creator of the musical ‘The Cross & The Switchblade’ has just completed 13 days of praying and fasting as he prepares to take it to Broadway in New York.
Between the 16th and 29th January, Peter G. James Sinclair, the creator of ‘The Cross & The Switchblade – The Musical’ spent a period of 13 days praying and fasting with his direct focus on his proposed future Broadway production.
When asked why he was doing this, Peter responded, ‘Prayer and fasting is a principle laid down in the Bible that is explained as being something that Christians should do on a regular basis. One of the benefits is that it reminds you who is in control.’ And Peter added, ‘And that’s certainly not me.’
Towards the end of last year God began to speak to me from the Word of God(The Bible) about the number 13.
I was drawn to the life of Joseph in the Old Testament, and was reminded that he was 17 when he was first sold into slavery, and then 30 when he was promoted to the position of ruler of Egypt. A period of 13 years.
And then I was drawn to the life of Abraham. At the age of 86 he decided to take destiny into his own hands and Ishmael was born. It was another 13 years, when he was 99, before the promised son Isaac was conceived. Again a period of 13 years.
Now why my interest in the number 13? Well it has been 13 years since my musical ‘The Cross & The Switchblade’ was first conceived – and my Heavenly Father continues to encourage me that in the 13th year is when the promise He has given me will be fulfilled.
