Dream Launcher Friends

{Excerpt from Fashion Devotional found in Faith + Fashion Box Quarter 1 2022}

I remember the day in 2010 very clearly when my friend leaned across her desk, looked me straight in the eye, and said, “We should start meeting weekly.” Her face was serious and full of intention, and we both knew we were in a moment of change and that God was doing something in both of us, but unless we moved with intention, it would pass us by.

Earlier that day at a staff Christmas party, Cheryl and I had begun talking about the dreams God had begun stirring in our hearts that looked really different from what our lives currently looked like. But when we moved the conversation to her office, that’s when things began to unfold in a way that would change the trajectory of our lives like we never could have expected. It’s a big reason you are reading this devotional and Created Woman even exists today!

You see, the dream of Created Woman was in my heart, and I was catching glimpses of it for months. But it took me being intentional with a friend to sit down every week—yes, every week—to write down practical action steps in order to see those dreams God planted in my heart come to fruition. I didn’t just sit there and wait for it to land in my lap. I took one dream step at a time, even in moments of great fear of the unknown.

I didn’t do it perfectly by any means, and I took a lot of steps backward and sideways, and, truth be told, there have a been a lot of pauses. But through it all, my Dream Launcher friend is the one who stood by me, prayed over me, cheered me on, and held me accountable.

3 We were never meant to do life alone, so my prayer for you is that as God gives you glimpses of your dream, meet with your Dream Launcher friend and also be her Dream Launcher friend too! Write down your steps together, make it plain, hold each other accountable, and run with it! And if you are faithful with the work God has put in front of you, I promise, you will launch dreams you never imagined and, in the process, take others with you.

Xoxo,

“What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him? If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, and one of you says to them, ‘Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,’ but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit? Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead” (James 2:14–17 NKJV).
