~ Dreams~

Hallie has always loved to draw. Ever since she was old enough to pick up a pen, crayon, or pencil she has loved to draw. Drawing is something that she starts at the beginning of the day, and by the end of the day the living room floor is covered with her colorful works of art. Some days, as much as I hate to admit it, I find it frustrating to have a very messy living room that I had just cleaned the previous night. Well today as she was drawing, instead of being foolish and getting irritated about my dirty messy floor, I took the time to look at each individual picture and listen to her tell me the stories behind each one. I realized it was dumb that I waited so long to do so. As I looked around the living room at each unique drawing, it truly inspired me! The way that she stayed so passionate and driven to finish each elaborate drawing, made me think of the things I often leave unfinished because I loose interest or simply don't have the time. A lot of times us "adults" forget how to stay focused, driven and passionate about that one thing in life that surpasses all others. The one thing that when you join or engage in, makes everything else in the world stop, and for a moment it's just you with your dream..... How truly intimate is that??!!  We are all made to accomplish that one thing in life that no other human on earth can accomplish! We are all beautifully and wonderfully made! We must not forget about our dreams or let them slip away! Do not let the things of this world keep you from your dream and gift that God designed for you!

"But as for you, be strong and do not give up, for your work will be rewarded."2 Chronicles 15:7

Even though we are grown up to our children, we are still children in Gods eyes. We must remember to sometimes keep a childlike approach in life. We must remember to devote ourselves to our dreams and callings just as Jesus devoted his life to his calling.

So as I am finishing up, I leave you with these questions: What is your calling? What do you dream about? What makes you the most fulfilled when you experience it? Now that you know what that dream is, What is keeping you from fulfilling your dream? Pray about it! Let me know your dreams so I can pray for you!

If that's not devotion I don't know what is.
