Everyone has a dream!

Posted By jessi on May 14, 2011

I was not so sure what this blog would be about but I began to think about where I am going. I remember that Terry Abney said once that he and Loretta were living their dream. This is a refreshing thought for sure. There are soooo many things that I have not done because, “I cannot do that!” “I cannot afford that!” “I don’t have the time to do that!” “I cannot get the time off from work to do that!” Have you been there? I am very sure that you have. I am no different that the next person.

Now I continue to work each day as a nurse, caring for people who have needs beyond their control. They are reaching out to someone outside themselves who can make a difference in their lives. This is what my life has meant to me since my teens. Even when my father wanted me to become a ‘hairdresser’ my answer to him, was I want to help people. I want to become a nurse. So here I am…60+ years later…continuing to live my dream. There is much more to it than simply working in a facility or hospital. Helping people, who have needs, go beyond the walls of a hospital.

I realize that the safe harbor of the hospital gives me a paycheck to pay my expenses but there is so much more to my dream. My entire life has been devoted to helping the helpless and the homeless…helping the less fortunate. I have never been blessed with a great deal of monies but I have always shared what I had. My doors have always been open to the homeless. I feel as though I have neglected this calling over the past few years. I am ready to move forward. Not sure how this will develop but I will ‘try one more time’.

I believe that my passion as a nurse has simply prepared me for caring for people. Now I believe that my passion for Exfuze is preparing me to move forward financially so that I can finance those opportunities to serve where there is a need. I know that my Father God is not broke. He owns the cattle on a thousand hills and it is about time that I took a leap of faith and began to operate as though I believed that. There is no doubt to me that my being a Distributor of Exfuze and being a nurse for 40 years is NOT a coincidence. I also know that my being delivered from Cancer and using Exfuze is not a coincidence. Putting all this together, I believe that I am living my dream. It is simply going to get better and better.

I find at work, in jest, my nurse friends say things like, “you should be drinking Evelyn’s juice”. Of course they say this laughing. But that is alright. I told one, Hey it is not a juice, it is an extract. Little nuggets here and there give me the opportunity to share. Not all at once, but someone is listening, and someone has connected me with the product. That is interesting yes? All it will take is that “one” to get the road to wealth open. With one disappointment there will come a success story with the next round. What did Pastor Steve say that Hope is defined as “confident expectation of a 100% guarantee”. I have the faith and I have the hope that within this next year, I will be living my dream. I will be in a position to meet many needs that I cannot meet at this time. My health will continue to be a testimony to those of my age and those who have been touched by the horrific disease ‘cancer’. I walk in defiance of the crippling nature of that disease. We must stand in the presence of the Healer!

One of my desires and my dreams was to have a coffee shop where one could share the love of Christ and love for one another in a one on one context. There are many people to will not attend a church but will go out for coffee. I think that is why I use to frequent Waffle Houses. (Perhaps now Starbucks)

I still have a dream! I still have the hope! I will still be standing and walking towards that dream…one more time.
Till next week, Evelyn
