Dare to Dream

One of my closest friends got married last week, what an honor and joy it was to be part of her special day! During the ceremony they incorporated a worship song and the lyrics hit deep and got me thinking about dreams. Not like the dreams you have while sleeping, lol, but the big picture dreams that we all have or have had.

I have a lot of dreams, mostly involve being a wife and mom, but I also want to write a book. I want to have my own home where I can extend hospitality to those who come into my life. I want to make most of my meals from scratch and learn how to sourdough (lol), and find joy in being a good plant mom someday.

Some old and some new, my life doesn't look like I ever dreamed, in some ways it looks better than I dreamed, in other ways I grieve the not now or not ever. It's a constant tension of living in the present and dreaming for more. A balance of chasing those dreams and trusting them to the only One who truly has my best interest at heart. It's being pleasantly surprised and filled with joy, when things turn out above and beyond what you imagined and disappointed when it's nothing what you thought. Having courage to step out of your comfort zone, and learning when to hold back in a place of wait. And then trusting God all over again.

It's easy to get stuck in discontentment and I've found myself there more than I'd like recently. I've found myself in that place of needing to trust Him again. Not just saying that I trust Him, but actually trust Him with my life.

Here is the song:

That is all for tonight. Grace and peace to you my friends until next time <3
