I believe that Col Mikel Burroughs has been given a dream and that he is being faithful to complete that dream. I pray for success in the ride that he and Sgt Billy Mullins have are on and that there will be few bumps in the road. In my search this morning I found the following to be interesting. Be blessed RP Family.

God Made You a Dreamer
Sharefaith Team Christian Lifestyle
Ministry is tough work. We plod. We toil. We sweat. We weep. Often, the drudgery can dampen our enthusiasm. Yet one of the most powerful tools that God’s grace gives us is the ability to dream — to plan, imagine, hope, and succeed. God made you a dreamer, and He gives you the strength to see those dreams succeed for Him.
Born to Dream
God created you for a purpose. The fact is, you have a role to fulfill on this earth that no one else can fill but you. God works through frail human beings like you and me. He is honored when we dream big for Him, and work to expand His kingdom.
That’s why he created us to dream. He created us to glorify Him with God-sized dreams and panoramic picture plans. You were born to glorify God, and that kind of glory comes through big dreams.
Dream Bigger
The very word “dream” makes it seem as if our God-sized wish is just a wispy hope of nothingness, something that will surely never happen. In God’s vision, however, big dreams are the stuff of big faith. Big dreams come from a belief in a big God.
God is bigger than your dreams, no matter how insanely difficult you think your dream is. Think about your biggest dream. Then, double it. Double it again. Do it again. You’re still not dreaming big enough.
The bigger your dreams, the bigger chance you have of bringing bigger glory to a big God.
Dream big. God is always bigger.
How to Keep Your Dreams In Line with God’s Will
“But are my dreams God’s will?” you may ask. God has a way of helping us formulate our dreams. There is a simple process you can follow in order to make sure your dreams are in line with God’s will.
Dream in the light of an infinite God.
Bring your dream to God in prayer.
Act on your dream in obedience to God.
Notice how God is involved at every step of this process. Dreaming big is a faith-filled, prayer-guided, action-oriented, God-directed journey. By keeping God involved, you will keep your dreams in line with God’s will. And God can do anything.
The Failure of Dreams
Sure, you may see some of your dreams fail. Sometimes, a huge kingdom undertaking seems to wither and die. The dreams dissipate like the smoke of a blown-out candle, leaving nothing but an acrid odor.
What do you do then?
You pray. You obey. You learn. And you get back up and dream again. God hasn’t failed. You haven’t failed. You’ve just learned a lesson. Now, take your lesson and dream big again. Don’t let a failed dream keep you from faith in an infinite God. We may not know why He chooses to do the things He does, but we can maintain a radical faith in His power and love.
Never give up on your dreams. Run back to Scripture, and stare this statement in the face: I can do all things through him who strengthens me. That’s not just a chorus to sing. It’s not just a verse to memorize. It’s not merely a platitude to recite.
It’s rock-solid truth. Grab that verse and cling to it. Hold it up to God in faith, and declare your dreams.

I pray that you and I are blessed with Godly desires that HE will fulfill in our own lifetime, my friend and brother-in-Christ PO1 H Gene Lawrence.
LORD YOU justify each of YOUR adopted children for time and eternity at our salvation. Through sanctification YOU cleanse us of all desires not aligned with YOUR perfect plan for our life.
YOU birth new desires in the heart/soul of YOUR own which YOU fulfill in YOUR perfect timing. YOU speak words of promise to many of YOUR own in our lifetimes. YOUR sheep know YOUR voice.
YOU give visions to some and YOU protect YOUR own from the wiles of the devil who can appear as an angel of light in the mind of the gullible.
I pray dear God that YOU protect our dreams and the sleep and dreams of those we love -especially the children and grandchildren dear to us.
LORD, I pray for peace and joy of the family members of the bikers who may be concerned about this road trip and that each and every one has a restful night’s sleep.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.

Good morning COL Mikel J. Burroughs and a great quote. If you are not a dreamer I don't know who might be considered one. A successful dreamer is one who has the ability to make others see and want to share his dream. I think we all share your dream of helping free veterans from medical debt as well as the one of helping vets and others free themselves or at least manage to live well with the challenges that they face instead of permanently opting out by suicide. I know I do and I appreciate your willingness to share those dreams with me.
What are your dreams? Do you have the 4 Cs to make them a reality?

Good morning, Y'all, my fellow dreamers!!
I probably would have not ventured on a trip such as this on my own but I am glad I am here. Each day being challenged to go beyond my comfort zone gives me new confidence. Of course having a leader like COL Mikel Burroughs is a great confidence builder.
It takes a team effort to accomplish what we have set out to do and I pray that all of you guys will help us reach the goal, you are part of the team. God bless you all.
