My Dreams

We all have dreams, right? We want to see our children grow and mature and become productive and independent parts of society. We want to see them hold to GOD and to do His will and to serve Him and please Him. We want to, one day, retire and relax and travel and see things work has kept us from. Yeah, we all have dreams.

Sometimes, though, something comes up and steals part of our hope, our faith. Everything seems to be working towards our dreamy goal and, then, something takes away part of our retirement fund. We hope for a bright future but today is really dark. Yeah, sometimes, our dreams seem out of reach. But, it's not about our dreams...

Today's word is something I came across and I use as a prayer and reminder that it isn't about my dreams: "Dear LORD, on my darkest days, please remind me that Your plans are far better than my dreams."

While it may seem that things are going to pot and that they are on a downward spiral and that they will never get any better, I know that GOD has a plan. I may not understand it all; I may not ever fully grasp what it is all about; I probably won't be comfortable through it all, but I KNOW He has a plan. I also know that His plan is far better than my wildest dream.

Yes, I have dreams. There are things that I want to accomplish, things that I want for my children and family, things that I am striving to see through, but, I also know that GOD'S plan is bigger and better. I thank Him for that reminder.

Be Blessed,
Mickey T
