Dreams. We all have them. Whether we share them with friends or hide them deep in our heart. They exist.
Since Mary Connealy’s message last week, I’ve been thinking again about my dreams. I’ll share some of mine with the hope that you will join in and share yours – I’d really like to hear them.
- I dream…of a book finally published, with the connections God has prepared and in His timing.
- I dream…of a new home that does not need “plenty of TLC” but is in move-in condition. Not too big, not too small – with room for a real writerly office with a lovely view on several acres.
- I dream…of being closer to long distance friends and finding new ones along the way.
- I dream…of living near the ocean, not waterfront, but within reasonable driving distance.
- I dream…of God’s divine direction in our lives as a couple, in a new church close to our new home, where we can be effective in ministry and a help to leadership. Wow – looks like most of the dreams involve re-location!
What are your dreams? They do feel more real when you put them in writing : )
Thank you! – for the wonderful show of support for Mary’s books last week. The winner of the autographed copy of “Petticoat Ranch” is Susan Snodgrass! Congrats! Please send me your mailing address.
Because we had so many comments, I am going out to buy another copy and the second winner of a book is Ginger Solomon!
Dreams…Many of mine deal with settling in my current city.
Dream…find God’s purpose for me in Seminole TX, and discover how He wants me to serve Him there.
Dream…learn how to break through small-town attitudes and make some friends.
Dream…motivation to finish the Bible study I’m writing.

Sherry,
Thank you for sharing some of your dreams! When we write them out, somehow they don’t look as impossible. Surely God has a purpose for you in your new city and He will reveal it as you trust in Him : ) And you better finish up that new Bible Study!

Dream: having a published book with my name on it
Dream: move to a different location but stay in OK
Dream: have an effective writing ministry through the blog I’ve been procrastinating on 🙂
Some dreams no longer apply since I’ve gotten older, but I know we should never stop dreaming.
Thanks, Cynthia, for reminding us to continue to dream.

Anita,
Doesn’t it seem more possible once you write out your dreams? I’m believing with you that your dreams will come true. Especially that blog that I’ve been waiting to see : )

My dream is to live in our house where we are now, close to the mountains and the ocean and watch our grandchildren grow up.
My writing dream is to keep producing timely articles.
My musical dream is to continue playing the old hymns and classical melodies as a service to others.
My dream is a rich, full Godly life with my husband.
With these aspirations, my life is complete.

Vonda,
I thought I was subtle but you caught my angle : )
