Dreaming

'Be strong and do not give up,
for your work will be rewarded.'
2nd Chronicles 15:7

I love this time of year.  When the hustle and bustle of the holidays are simply sweet memories.  When the quiet darkness of the evening falls early.  And, when new hopes and expectations for the future are dreamed.

With all my heart, I enjoy setting new goals and expecting great things.

Though I'm 54 years old (and unashamed to announce it), I still have what it takes to jump for joy when my goals are reached and my expectations realized.  And pretty high, I might add.

With sweet anticipation, I long for my dreams to come true. 

Some dreams are small, some a bit larger, and even others seem out of reach.  Way out!

Its those out-of-reach dreams though, that drive me to hang tough, hold fast, and leave no stone unturned until the light at the end of my dream-tunnel shines with brilliant intensity.

In my lifetime, I pray that my all-time-favorite dream comes true ... if it takes my entire lifetime.

It's my perpetual dream.  The dream in which the lives of all unborn children are cherished, respected, and valued by all of mankind - you know, the 'born-kind.'  The kind whose mothers were intent on finishing what they started ...

Life.

Psalm 139:13
'For you (God) formed my inward parts;
You (God) covered me in my Mother's womb.
I will praise you (God),
for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Marvelous are Your works, and that my soul knows very well.
My frame was not hidden from You (God),
When I was made in secret, and skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the Earth.
Your (God's) eyes saw my subsance, being yet unformed.
And in your book they all were written,
The days fashioned for me,
When as yet there were not of them.'


You may say that I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one.
