Our Dreams Are For A Lifetime

Our Dreams Are For A Lifetime

Comments 0 Comment

I’m not sure why, but today my dreams seem so close. I feel like if I speak them out loud, maybe it will give them life again.

So. here goes…

My dream has always been to not have a schedule. To be free to write books, travel, and do it full-time without worrying about my income or how I’m going to pay my bills. I want to teach others what I learn about writing so that they can pursue their dreams too. That has been my dream for as long as I can remember. 

But this is what I know…our dreams are for a lifetime.

I don’t want fear to keep me from pursuing what I love to do, and I really believe that writing is not only my calling…it’s my ministry. The thing is, I also don’t want to run ahead of God. I did that once, and it cost me big time. 

My problem is that I’m really tired of talking about it, and planning about it. I’m ready to just do something about it. 

Although waiting has never been my strongest trait, I have learned that working with God is a lot easier than working against Him. So, for now I will be in prayer about my next steps. I will spend more time reading His word, and listening for His voice. I will look for opportunities to grow my skills, and use my quiet time to actually be quiet (That’s another tough one for me).

I’ll let you know how it’s going in my next post. 🙂

Until next time…

Be blessed

My Dream Wasn’t His Dream

My Dream Wasn’t His Dream

Looking at my life, I started wondering how I got here. Why I am who I am, and why I do, or don’t do certain things. But really what I was looking at was my physical life. Not my spiritual life. That…I have no doubts about. I noticed that my physical life didn’t quite stack up to what I had envisioned my life would be like at this point. 

I always believed that my husband and I would live our lives doing exactly what we had dreamed about. He would play music, I would write lyrics, and we would make beautiful music together. But that wasn’t God’s plan.

What I realized is that I hadn’t consulted God at all. I figured it was my dream, so He must have given it to me, right? The Bible says that He will give us the desires of our hearts. Wait. Was that really our desire, or was it my desire? I don’t know. I think I may have assumed that it was my husband’s desire. Hmmm?

Unfortunately, I will never know, because he went home to be with the Lord. But what I do know is that he loved me so much that he would have done just about anything to make me happy…even cosign a dream he didn’t dream. He was definitely my hype man…lol.

So I guess even if my life is not what I envisioned, and I don’t always do the things I should…it is still a good life. God still has a plan for me. It would be better if he were here, but I know that his spirit is with me. I feel him pushing me. Telling me to go to all of the places he wanted to take me, and to walk out all of those things I dreamed about. 

And I promise to do everything I can to make him proud.

Until next time…

Be blessed,.
