What’s your relationship like with your mom? Literary agent and author Blythe Daniel and her mom wrote a book together to support restoration and healing in mother/daughter relationships. Theirs is one of the many resources Blythe has shepherded onto bookshelves around the world in fulfilling her mission as a literary evangelist. Part of pursuing this dream for Blythe has been remembering God’s faithfulness and His limitless nature; her story reminds us that this is true for His role in our dreams as well.
IF YOU’VE EVER FELT THERE WAS A LIMIT TO WHAT GOD COULD DO WITH YOUR DREAM, THIS IS THE EPISODE FOR YOU.
Here’s what stood out to me from this conversation:
Blythe talks about being a missionary to places that she will probably never personally visit—an encouragement that you CAN be on mission right where you are right now.
The tension of not allowing your big dreams to become more important than the people God has put right in front of you.
Believing in God’s limitlessness as it relates to our dreams instead of the limits we manufacture, which often keep us stuck or stalled out.

Scripture:
But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
~ Matthew 6:33 (NIV)
Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.
~ Galatians 6:8-10 (NIV)
Taste and see that the Lord is good;
blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.
Fear the Lord, you his holy people,
for those who fear him lack nothing.
The lions may grow weak and hungry,
but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing.
~ Psalm 34:8-10 (NIV)
