I am a dreamer. A creative thinker. I think I always have 5 projects or hair brain ideas floating through my head. A few current thoughts? What is the future, if any, for Build with the Boyces? Should we turn it into a non-profit? Could I open a pinterest, industrial shabby chic store? I want a barn-a big one. So we could hold weddings and events, maybe a little shop during the week and church on Sundays. I dream about owning a little rustic cabin in the woods on the water. A fixer upper for all my friends and family to enjoy. Somewhere a few hours from our house. I would own a ford, 1940’s beat up truck with would sides and drive to the flea market and pick up some finds for my little store, and the farmers market to get some fresh veggies. I dream in decor. I dream about the future.
I want to write a book but I doubt it would be a best seller. I already know what I would call it and what it would be about.
I want to change the world.
Funny-it doesn’t make me discontent in my current life-I love my family and friends and am grateful for all I have. It’s maybe more of a holy discontent-am I doing what I was born to do? I would think that if I am just called to be a wife and mother, and work part-time at a church, I would stop dreaming and feel I am living out my purpose…right?
But I sense there is something more….
Kori-

Never, ever stop dreaming, Stefanie and be proud that you are a dreamer. We may never achieve all that we dream of, but think of all of the wonderful experiences we have and things that we learn while chasing those dreams. I truly believe that dreaming is life.

Your last twos posts have hit home with me. I don't want to go into too much detail here in public forum, but when I first came across your fundraising efforts I immediately thought, Lord is that a possibility for me? I am a single mother of one with a strong desire to open my home to an orphan diagnosed with special needs. I advocate for these precious children and it breaks my heart that I don't have the resources to bring even just one child home, because we don't have the space. We too could benefit from on a home. I am a big dreamer, and I know that God places these thoughts on my heart for a reason. I trust that He also allowed me to see thus post for a reason too. Not sure why. I would love to get in touch with you.
