I Dream a Lot

I was raised by a motivational speaker and was taught that the sky is the limit.   I was taught to set goals and when I reached them, set more.

I wish that I could tell you how many dreams I achieved but I don't think I've actually achieved any thus far except for competing in Miss LA.  But my dream was bigger than that...it was to compete in Miss America.  Becoming Miss LA wasn't even a question.  I was speaking it into reality.  But I lost focus in life at some point and started quitting everything I loved.  I quit playing the piano (I really didn't love this at the time).  I quit cheer leading.   One sport I did stick with was track but I wasn't quick enough for the collegiate level and too short to go anywhere with the hurdles.    I quit pageants.  And years later I quit one of my favorite hobbies, working out.  I don't do anything at this time that I dreamed of when I was little.

I wasn't one of those little girls that dreamed of a family or becoming a mommy; however, God showed me things in life that were far greater than any dream I ever had.   He gave me a son.  He was a miracle at a dark time in my life.   My little boy is the reason I'm even alive today.  My dreams have since changed.   I now have the dream that most little girls have when they are young and that's being a bride.   I have my fantasy wedding.  I want to be a wife and I want my family united.

In Proverbs 13:12 it says, "hope deferred makes the heart sick, but when dreams come true, there is life and joy".   It also mentions in verse 19 that it is pleasant to see dreams come true, but fools will not turn from evil to attain them".

God knows the desire of my heart.  He knows my deepest dreams.   He already gave me one of the best titles anyone could hold, Mommy.  Now, it is my dream to become a bride, a wife and to have my family together with the foundation of Christ.

Never stop dreaming.  It is never too late to set goals.  We may have to make new ones but there is always something for us to get excited about.

What is it that you want out of life?  What is holding you back?  Write down your dreams.  Pray and let God know your heart.

I look forward to sharing with everyone the day my dream comes true.  Believe anything can happen!
