Dearey Kids,

I was on a walk the other day and I saw a shoe in the middle of someone’s driveway. I thought “how random”..then I prayed and it made more sense.

We are all Cinderella in some degree. We have dreams, goals, and hopes that are beyond ourselves. However, when we look at how we are living right now it may appear that those dreams are too distant. It may seem like we are caught up living a life that has no resemblance of hope. We don’t look the part, we are in a rut, even our own family may put us down. The dream that once seemed so real may now seem so distant.

Sometimes the Holy Spirit will bring in friends to help you accomplish the dream, like the mice 🙂 Sometimes the Holy Spirit will come like the fairy godmother and in a moment and change everything. The Holy Spirit is a gentlemen. He will constantly draw you back to the dream that God has placed on your heart. He will find people, situations, and opportunities that give you a glimpse of the dream that you have.

I know this is true because when I was 19 I caught a dream of impacting people through a network marketing platform. I saw husbands and wives drawing closer together, I saw families radically changed, and I saw financial histories totally rewritten. I caught a dream of what it would look like to impact people like this and I went all in for 10 years to make it happen. But the glass slipper didnt fit. I dont know if it was the timing, the business or if I was just not ready but it didnt work out for me.

That dream lingered in my heart for 10 years after I quit. I would occasionally think “If I could do anything, I would be in a network marketing business where I have time and money to be with my family and a business that could totally impact a generation”. I tried a bunch of other traditional businesses but nothing seemed to fit or evoke the passion that I had before. I started a mortgage company, a title company, real estate businesses, and IdeaVibe. They were all good, but they weren’t great.

Mom and I were both in shock when Plexus came around and the “slipper” fit perfectly. Time had passed, the dream was almost gone, but it fit. It started growing fast. Now I sit here 1.5 years later, with over 670 people on our team across the country and we are living that fairy tale life. I work from home and have the time to be with you guys throughout the day. We eat  3 meals together and you are a part of a business that is influencing people in so many different ways.

The dream wasnt gone. God was just looking for the right time to fit it into our lives.

At some point the dream that you have will fade, but just remember His timing is perfect. What He is calling you to do is perfect. The season will come.

I love you Dearey Kids,

Dad
