SWEET DREAMS



Michelangelo often prayed, "Lord, grant that I may always desire more than I can accomplish."

This weekend I have been privileged to experience God in a new way (I love when that happens) with friends that are no doubt doing so at at even higher level than me. Without getting into details, I just wanted to pen a few thoughts.

We all go through slumps, experience failures and face challenges that can be insurmountable-or seemingly so. This is why having a vision for our life is so important-I mean, it's a matter of spiritual survival. Looking further ahead than today is a good thing. Dreams, vision, whatever you choose to call it does two things 1; it helps us to overcome today's disappointments with joy and anticipation and 2; it allows us to maintain a positive attitude in the midst of difficulty and failure.

God has a plan (a vision) for your life. Be patient and allow today to unfold and happen. Try not to force things or push so hard and at the same time ask God to share his vision for you-with you. Wouldn't it be awesome if your dream and His plan for you are one in the same? Don't sell God short because He happens to be in the "awesome" business. Add a little vision, dreaming, hope, faith and prayer to your list of things to do each day because
If all we live for are today's promises then we will most certainly find ourselves empty-handed by the end of the day.

Vision this weekend is cast westward from a temporary resting place to a permanent home across a quiet field and a busy highway to a piece of land where a lonely oak stands; a future outpost-a new field office for God with a lost and found department.

Sweet dreams indeed especially when they become reality, especially when you share a common dream with others and most certainly when your dream is part of God's plan.
