There are dreamers and then there are dreamers. And I am the latter. What is the difference? Somehow, in some way, there has to be a way to make that dream come true. But how? That is the reason why I've started this blog. Anyone who dreams big and wants it to become reality will tell you that the path that you must travel is never as easy as you would like. But the path is never too difficult for you either, but only if you can stick it out.
My mother will be the first person to tell you that over the years my dreams have scared her more times than not. I'm sure that those dreams that never came true cause her the most profound relief. What she never knew was that it was not so much my lack of ability to make those things come to pass, but I've realized that they were paths I did not want to travel. It's times like those that proves that God does give mankind the free will to make choices. A lot of those choices I knew that regardless which choice I made, I knew in my spirit that God would bless me no matter what. At other times that still quiet voice was not there and I needed to make my choice based on the fact of what I could foresee what would happen down the road and the great unknown of the other path.
Now is the season of where my choices mean the most. This is the season where many things are held in a balance. This is the season where I much choose to act or hold my peace. This is the season where I can hold on or open my hand and let God move. And this is the basis of my faith--God gives me freewill to make my life whatever I want it to be. But the greatest test is making to choice to open my hands, release my dreams, and let God be God. When I let God have freedom to move in my life, I never lose my independence or free will. Rather, I open myself up to the assistance of the One who created everything. All of a sudden my limited resources are exponentially enlarged. I write as a voice of a Christ follower. But I also write to show and remind myself that even though I grow larger in my own right, there is always One larger than me.
