Chapter 1: The Birth of an Idea

Recently, my six-year-old son came to me with a surprising notion—he wanted to set up a lemonade stand. This was the first entrepreneurial idea I’d heard from him, and it took me by surprise. Isn’t that how dreams often unfold? They catch us off guard. Sometimes, they are met with indifference, criticism, or outright disapproval.

Reflecting on my own childhood, I recall how my ideas were often stifled by well-meaning but dismissive comments, causing them to wither before they had a chance to grow. Perhaps that’s why I felt compelled to support his vision today. Rather than dismissing it as insignificant, I chose to explore it further, encouraging him to delve deeper into his thoughts. I wanted to see if this seemingly random idea could take flight. Maybe it was just a fleeting thought, but isn’t that how all ideas start? That’s the ethereal foundation of every dream. This fragility is what makes ideas so vulnerable—much like infants or tender sprouts that are still finding their strength.

In that moment, I realized my duty as a father, akin to a farmer, to nurture my children's aspirations. What will I do with this young shoot? Will my words crush its growth, or will I provide the daily care it needs to flourish, offering shade and sustenance that we could never achieve on our own? This is the mystery of a dream; it hides its true potential and only reveals its promise to those willing to wait. Only the dreamer truly perceives its growth and enjoys its lasting rewards.

I remember my own dreams from that age. When I shared them, others could only see the seed, not the potential tree that could emerge. Had they recognized the tree, they would have understood that my ideas simply required nurturing, care, and direction. With attentive hands and patient hearts, they could have blossomed into something meaningful.

Initially, dreams are fragile. In the wrong hands, they can shatter into irreparable fragments that take great effort to mend. The wounds left behind create scars on our hands and hearts, leaving us hesitant to dream again, to chase after anything delicate and precious. Yet, our children continue to dream—unshaken in their pursuits.

The first video, "A Shaking is Coming | A Dream and Message from God," delves into the significance of recognizing and nurturing our dreams, urging viewers to embrace their aspirations despite external challenges.

Section 1.1: The Fragility of Dreams

Dreams, when first articulated, are incredibly vulnerable. If mishandled, they can be shattered, causing lasting damage that may deter future endeavors. The scars from these experiences can linger, making us wary of pursuing anything that feels fragile or pure. However, it is essential to remember that children’s dreams remain untouched by the harsh realities we may face.
