2 Kings 4:8-16
My pastor preached this message, last year and I wanted to share it on TERC. The premise of the message was on this lady who was a very kind person that did for everyone but herself. A lot of us get so wrapped up in being busy caring for others or fulfilling what our parents planned for us that we forget some of the things we dreamed for ourselves.

One of the reasons why you could forget your dreams is because you see so many obstacles in your path, you cannot imagine getting to that dream place from where you are currently. In verse 14, Gehazi told Elisha the reasons why it was impossible for the woman to have a child. In Exodus 4:29-31 we see the Israelites filled with hope and joy at the message Moses brought to them about their freedom but in the next chapter, when pressure came they gave up and blamed their problems on God's promise.
