Dreaming

When did we stop dreaming? When did we learn that its easier to grow up than to dream of what we will become. And when did it become OUR choice to say when we are GROWN?! Personally, i think its a load of crap to think that we are too old to dream. Age is relative... self-actualized, if you will. I believe this more and more the older i get... go figure. Somehow, growing as a Christian, i "understood" that by giving up my cross and following HIM, i must destroy the desires of my heart. Not until they were destroyed would i be able to fully understand what it means to seek His kingdom. BUT, surrendering, like the bible is talking about, is different than destroying. In giving our desires over to our Lord, he makes beautiful what we would inevitably mess up. He will give us more than we can ever ask or imagine. This, my friends, is what i think about with dreaming. Dreaming is a gift (so long as we remember to not neglect this day) and we are blessed to be able to entertain it! Needless to say, i have been cleaning out the grubbies in my soul and peeking under each rock i find, in hopes that i will discover more of myself. Instead of being fearful that creepy crawlers will emerge at the churned rocks, i am trusting that i will find a portal. Its there, and my imagination, perhaps my new best friend, will help me find it. God is faithful... even we are convinced that He could care less about such trivial things. after all, this is the rest of our lives, is it not? Happy day. I like this gift of dreaming MUCH.
