Sunday Reflections

I'm "dreaming" these days. Everywhere I look there are books, articles, websites, even text messages on "dreaming". When I was little, if you were a "dreamer" that was a negative thing. It meant you had no motivation to do the "normal" things people did. Go to school, go to work, go to church, eat 3 meals a day, pay the bills, take regular baths and showers and do the RIGHT things. Mind you, all of those things are important in our lives! It keeps order and some sense of peace and minmizes chaos when you tend to the normal things in life. The necessities. But this whole idea of dreaming, isn't such a bad deal. It's causing me to think about things I've always just accepted as "the way it is, or should be". And the word "always" is probably not really too accurate. Truth be told, I have actually been a "dreamer" my whole life. A suppressed dreamer. I know there is more. I know there are things I've not pursued because it didn't fit the picture everyone else has had for my life. Or because others needed me to be something for them and I have found great joy in being or doing those things. But as I am challenged to dream, to try and picture how things could be if there were not obstacles, no limits, I see the greatness of God! I see that I have always thought with my humanity instead of God's Power that is available! There are so many dreams I have. They are a PART of the motivation and good stuff I know that I can do. They are all a part of the good stuff that is okay for me to enjoy! I'm excited to see what dreams I'll come up with. Excited to see what dreams will be discarded and which will become goals I pursue. Stay tuned! Dream with me. What could we do if we didn't set limits on ourselves. Dreams are good.
