When I was growing up, there were things I dreamed about being, and things I dreamed about doing. I’d imagine my future held promise, and believe my life had possibility. I dared to dream, but did my dreams to come true? A few became realities, but most were never fulfilled. But in the end, as long as I believed in myself and believed in Jesus Christ, that’s what mattered the most.
I dreamed of being:
a singer – quite gifted, perhaps someone like Rebecca St. James
a musician – harp, flute, and piano, incredible at all three
an ice skater – graceful and breathtaking
an artist – painting landscapes, striving to capture the splendor of God’s creation
I dreamed of:
sailing across vast seas overflowing with dolphins
riding in a hot air balloon on lazy summer mornings
hiking up a tall mountain bursting with waterfalls
camping in the wilderness close to Gentle Ben
living in a log cabin and having a pet deer
I'm all grown up, but even now, I still wonder and I still dare to dream. This one thing I know for sure - I searched and found the Lord. That's what matters the most...
You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.
Jeremiah 29:13 (NIV)
"Come," my heart says, "seek his face!" Your face, Lord, do I seek.
Psalms 27:8 (NRSV)

I have had dreams too and one was that we would have a close and special relationship when we were grown...I thank God that I saw that dream come true. Most of the dreams I had that never came to be I don't think about any more.They aren't important to me really. I have a wonderful husband that has stood by me through thick and thin and proved his love many times. God blessed me with 2 wonderful sons and have given me 2 daughter-in-laws and I am blessed. When God grants other dreams I will know it must be the right time. Mary
