I think an apropriate thing to do for my first post would be to explain the title of my blog. αϋξω is a word in the Greek language spelled auxō. It maens to cause to grow, or to grow, or increase. I was looking through my Stong's concordance one day because I just love Greek words :) and I just kind of stumbled over this one. It knew God had give me this verse. He told me he was going to use me to help people grow closer to Him. He showed me a characteristic he had given me of going deeper. When I learn Im just so hungry for knowledge and often times ask as many questions as I can, always trying to get more information. I often have a open mind about things, and try not to put things such as God and life and other concepts in a box and am prepared for anything at anytime to cange my overall perspective on who God is; In fact I look for those things that challenge my view and understanding of God because that is the only way we grow. A couple of weeks ago in ACs (Acountability Cells, kind of like a small family of about twelve people in Masters) We did a day on dreams. I told God that I didnt want to write down my dreams but that I wanted him would reveal to me what he wants me to do. Things started popping into my head. As they did I wrote them down.
My Dreams:
1. To lead and train 10s of thousands of boys to become men of God and leaders among the nations through Royal Rangers.
2. To become a famous Photographer that, Through the pictures I take peoples lives a changed.
3. To become a famous Chef that serves thousands of people and have influence of the loves of other people through the food that I cook.
4. To Climb a 14b Rock climb
There is one thing that is not written down but is very crutial. All of these dreams are centered - will take place in or will be carried out in - Ireland.
I was very surprised at these dreams. I knew that they were not of me, but from God. I would never have been able to make them up. And whatt got me is that the numbers were specific. I remember becasue I originally thought that for number one it would be thousands but then God corrected me and said 10s of thousands. Its funny how God knows our hearts better than we do and gives us exactly what we want, and need, when we trust him with everything we have. God has been teaching me so much lately about his faithfulness and who he is to me and also who I am and who he created me to be.

first of all congrats on the new blog:) I will be dropping by to give you some blog love often...
ReplyDeletesecond.. Its awesome and amazing both the power of God but also the dreams or paths he can create or develop in us.. I think it is such a blessing to be able to have those specific dreams revealed to you because not everyone has that pleasure but I know alot of it comes with seeking him more and more also.
third.. more power to you.. you have the kind of spirit and heart that I see being able to carry out these dreams.. I just hope that I can be involved somehow to!...
miss you and love you lots!
Welcome to the blogosphere Kyle! Don't ever stop dreaming...
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your new blog:)
ReplyDeleteI always love hearing you share from your heart. God has given you such a heart to serve him. Not that he didn't give that to the rest of us, I always knew he gave you just a little more. All your growing up I could see it. Your love, your hunger for Him. I know that I held on to you more than the other kids probably because I knew he was going to use you and you would not be around.
Oh my son, part of me cries at the thought of you being away, but more than that I am so full of pride for all you have become and how God is going to use you and with that I cry tears of joy. I pray God will bless you far beyond anything you could ever imagine. I pray He takes you to places you didn't even dream about. Even if you only think you reach a handful of people, we will never know until that day when we meet in heaven how many were reached by the things that we did. It's there that we will truly see the 10s of thousands.
Much love to you and constant prayers
Love
Mom
Thanks for sharing your dreams Kyle. That's pretty cool. Just remember to keep your dreams alive and cultivated. So many of us forget about them or chicken out thinking we could never do it. But God has not give us a spirit of fear, but of love and a sound mind. Give them back to God and stay connected. We know a couple who's itinerating to be missionaries to Scotland. I know, not the same country, but same region. I'll try to get you their website.
