Ryan Dreams Big

Every sunny afternoon, Ryan and his GiGi jumped into the pool with big splashes and

even bigger smiles.

“This water is magical,” GiGi would say. “It moves, it flows, it lifts, it cools… just like your dreams, Ryan!”

Ryan giggled and floated on his back, eyes wide open to the sky. “Do dreams float too,

GiGi?”

“Yes, sweetie,” GiGi whispered. “And when you believe, they soar.”

In the water, Ryan imagined he was an astronaut splashing through moon puddles... A. deep-sea explorer diving into the unknown... A scientist mixing rainbow-colored waves…

“GiGi, how do dreams come true?”

“With imagination, curiosity, and never giving up,” she said. “God made you to do big things!”

They talked about questions—big ones and silly ones.

“Why do fish never get tired of swimming?”

“What if I build a dinosaur that can fly?”

“Can water hear me dream?”

Sometimes Ryan splashed too much, all while building up the courage to swim solo with the safety of his swimming vest. But GiGi always reminded him:

“Even when it’s hard, you just keep going. That’s called persistence!”

Then one day, GiGi said something Ryan never forgot: “God can do more than you could ever dream, think, or imagine—way more!” (Ephesians 3:20)

Ryan’s eyes lit up. “Even bigger than the ocean?”

“Even bigger,” GiGi smiled. “Your dreams are safe in God’s hands.”

So every day, Ryan dreamed a little more, splashed a little higher, and imagined a world full of wonder.

Because Ryan… Dreams Big.

GiGi always ended their pool time by reminding Ryan that he is the best Ryan Mitchel Owusu Yeboah EVER!
