What if the desires you had as a child were clues to the plan God has for you today?
Perhaps it is time to take another look at the dreams you once had—and ask God whether He is still calling you to follow them.
Watch this inspiring episode of Terry Modica’s Footsteps to Heaven show and discover how to follow the dreams God put in your heart. Listen to how God led Sister Mary Catherine Blanding toward religious life as a Sister of the Immaculate Heart of Mary of Wichita. Learn how St. John Henry Newman’s journey of conversion can help you discover God’s will for your own life.
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
“God often speaks to us through our childhood dreams, our childhood desires, our childhood encounters with others.”
“What in your childhood did you have a dream for? God speaks to us when we’re children, because we’re more open to hearing Him at that time. So take a good look at that.”
“God does put desires in our hearts. And yes, honor those desires and look back to our youth and our childhood.”
“And accepting a vocation does not mean that you have to give up dreams that God has placed in you when you were a child. He makes it all happen through that vocation.”
