This photo was taken on Saturday March 13th, 2010. In this photo I'm sitting in Mardels, a very large Christian bookstore that has several locations in Tulsa. This particular store is located on 71st street.
Almost five years before this photo was taken, I walked into this Mardels for the very first time.
As I walked the aisles, I started thinking of the books I wanted to write someday and how cool it would be if I could do a book signing here in the future. In fact I specifically remember saying out loud (to myself of course) "One day I will do a book signing, right here at Mardels on 71st Street."
I went to Mardels on 71st many times since that initial visit. Every time I would go into the store I would whisper to myself "One day I will do a book signing, right here at this store".
A few months ago, my publisher called me and said that Mardels wants you to do a book signing for your "What do I do when?" book series. I asked, "Which store will I be signing at?" When they said the Mardels on 71st Street, I thought to myself "you've got to be kidding me....what are the chances?"
But sure enough, there I am doing my first ever book signing at the first Christian bookstore I walked into when we first moved to Tulsa.
Isn't God good!
Let me ask you a question.
What are you dreaming about? What are your goals? Are you speaking them? If not, why?
Somebody is going to start that ministry, write that book, get that raise. Why can't that somebody be you?
Start dreaming it. Start speaking it. And one day you will look back and say "you've got to be kidding me!"
