dreamhopelovejulenesongwriting

Dream. Hope. Love.๐Ÿ’ž That’s what we’re made for…We can have a new beginning and have the freedom to dream again no matter where we’ve been because we find a new purpose in our Creator – we’re part of His awesome dream and He’s the greatest Dreamer of all.๐ŸŒณ

Our hope is forever because there’s more to life than what we see here and now – we’re eternal because He lives. We can love boldly and be secure in the one who is Love because everyone was created by Him and is trying to find their way back to where they belong. I’m so thankful for new starts the greatest Love of all gives us each and every day so we can Dream, Hope, Love, forever… (lyrics in the pic above from a song I’ve been writing ๐Ÿ“๐ŸŽค)





Follow Your Dreams Boldly: Inspiration from the Story of One of My Favorite Dreamers & Speaking Your Story

josephspeakingcollage4

Sometimes it’s what you’re most afraid of that’s part of your purpose ๐Ÿ‘€ – for me that was speaking! ๐Ÿ˜ฐ These are the confessions of a former major introvert… I used to shake in my boots literally on-stage and even when I had to talk in class as a kid my heart would beat loudly…๐Ÿ˜ฉ Growing up shy I hardly talked as a little girl and people would ask my mom if I was mute๐Ÿค. When people asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up I squeaked Oprah๐Ÿ‘‘ – I wanted to speak and use my voice to inspire others but didn’t know how i was gonna cause I was too scared.๐Ÿ˜–

Through practice and perseverance I got through that fear and surprisingly now speaking is my FAVORITE thing to do! I find myself on stages and in classrooms (where I’d probably pass out or drown in a puddle of my own sweat years ago๐Ÿšฃ๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿ’๐Ÿฝ) speaking my story and singing encouraging songs๐ŸŽค to inspire other kids who were like me to overcome their fears and live their big dreams…๐Ÿ”ฅ

Recently I got to speak with a group of teen girls in Dallas (some of them pictured here) about the journey of dreams๐Ÿ’– – how God has a big dream for each of our lives and how even when things get tough everything works together for good for those who live on Purpose.๐Ÿ’ฅ We talked about the story of Joseph the Dreamer in the Bible who is my fave (go watch the Emmy-award winning movie based it, it’s awesome and Joseph ain’t too hard on the eyes;) and how even when he was in a pit and the prison he trusted God and served others with his gifts until his big dream came true. God used all of those trials to develop him into a true, powerful leader who would go on to save his people – a foreshadowing of another great leader to come… ๐Ÿ‘‘

Ever since I was younger God told me my story was like Joseph’s and the word “dream” was always in my heart. Everything about my businesses and life had the word dream included somehow since I was a kid (as did gifts my friends gave me pictured here๐ŸŽ). Like Joseph I overcame years of confusing circumstances and now I’m living out the very dreams I had written down years before – speaking, singing, serving others’ dreams and creating a multimedia company that inspires youth to live on purpose. With Love everything is possible๐Ÿ’– – so go follow your dreams and dare to share your story – someone needs to hear you speak about how you overcame too. I truly believe your story can set someone free and I believe in you!

Love and peace โœŒ๏ธ Julene

P.S. Have a group of kids or teens who could use some inspiration through speaking, singing and a creative interactive presentation? Feel free to send me a line and let me know how I could help!๐Ÿ’ž Together we can inspire the next generation!

Dream So Big…

dreamsobig


When you have a God-dream ๐Ÿ’– it goes way beyond yourself, it has the good of other people in mind and takes you where you never thought you’d goโ€ฆit’s like you’re a kid on an awesome adventure with your Dad a King๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿป๐Ÿฆ better than any movie…๐ŸŽฌ (This pic was taken at Christ for the Nations – these people have truly impacted my life, thank you CFNI!) I used to dream so small, dreams that only included me and my desires and passions but God can teach us to dream with Him and have a passion for His plans, for the broken and the world…๐ŸŒŽ

He has a dream of everyone discovering His love๐Ÿ’ž and truth and being brought back to Him. Let’s dream and partner with our Father to help His dreams come true…give us the nations Daddy, give us a bigger dream and sense of purpose that we couldn’t come up with on our own, to rock this world with Love, Love, Love…๐Ÿ’“ Dream BIG dreams, higher, deeper dreams that have a ripple effect on other people and that require intervention from the One greater than yourself! My mentor Cindy Thienard once wrote me an encouraging note that said: “You have a gift…I am excited and the word of God says! ‘Eyes have not seen๐Ÿ‘€, nor ears have heard๐Ÿ‘‚๐Ÿผ, nor has it entered into the minds of man the things I have for those who love ME!’ Love God and Dream! So BIG! that only God! can REPLY!” Now THAT’s how we should dream!

He says “Ask me, and I will make the nations your inheritance, the ends of the earth your possessionโ€ฆ” Psalm 2:8

“Even before I was born, the Lord God chose me to serve him and to lead back
the people of Israel.
So the Lord has honored me and made me strong.
Now the Lord says to me, โ€œIt isnโ€™t enough for you to be merely my servant…” “It’s too small a thing (NIV)” “I have placed you here as a light
for other nations;
you must take my saving power
to everyone on earth.โ€ Isaiah 49:5-6 CEV
