Dream

This past weekend, an amazing woman challenged me to dream. She asked me what dreams I have for my life. I realized that I don’t dream enough. I don’t know if it is because I am fairly content with my life as it is, or if it is because I am afraid to dream, or if I don’t know how to dream, or if I am just too practical and realistic. So, anyway, this week I have been attempting to dream.

Dreams that have come true, by the grace of God:

A home. I love my house. I still am amazed and thank God for allowing me to have this place of my own.

A job. I am thankful that I am blessed with a job where I get to help people. Yes, there are days when my job drives me crazy, but I am thankful for the people that I work with, the things I have learned, the challenges I have faced, and the people that we help.

(Soon) A degree. I only have 2 classes left and I will have a degree!! That was a dream I have had since I was a kid. It is not in the field that I thought it I would be in, but still a dream come true!

Travels. I have traveled to Europe to spend time with my sister and her family. (I dream of more travels and adventures).


Dreams for the future:

I dream of having a Godly husband that I can share the rest of my life with.

I dream of having kids.

I dream of writing a book.

I dream of having a house/condo on the ocean; a vacation place.

I dream of taking a road trip across the country (maybe on a motorcycle!!).

I dream of going on a mission trip to an orphanage to share the love of Jesus with kids.

I dream of going on a cruise.

I dream of a better relationship with my father.

I dream of a reconciled relationship with my mom’s family.

So, I will continue to dream.

Thanks, my friend, for the challenge, inspiration, and encouragement to dream! You are a blessing to me!
