Hillsong women -- Maree Dejong

It was the last session of Hillsong women on Friday for this year. Gosh it was like colour. Bobbie Houston said it was like colour also.
Somehow I felt selfish staying in the luxury of such an awesome church. It's like being in a place with food more than we can consume while at some other place people are starving to death. There're people in some places that are dying to hear what we have. Sitting in a place constantly being fed, caused me to think that I should be at a place where I can give out what I have.
Anyway Maree Dejong brought out a phenominon message about faith and dream.
Growing up being abused and into drugs, Maree encouraged us to live a life of dream, and don't live life small with victim mantality. She said that we all have been given a dream and we need to find out what it is. The dream gives us a driving passion to do something special and no one else can do our dreams. And unless we live the dream, we're never gonna fall in love with our lives.
She listed 3 things that can stop us from having what God wants us to have, which is
Complacency: self satisfaction; It sounds noble, but it's a selfish way to live. We need to remember what we do affect others. It's not about us, it's about God. We're to live life big.
Fear: control freaks, fear of not in control, that something might happen.
Self focus: When Moses was at the end of himself, that was a good place to be. We need to lay hold of God instead of letting go of the dreams.
