Today

I currently live in the midst of an amazing culture that encourages dreaming and visions and the acknowledgement that nothing is impossible for God. I love it! I feel there's such a creativity explosion in this environment. I've started to paint again, and even write, I've started to be more aware of the dreams that God put in my heart. Big dreams; of changing the world, and making a difference, of loving and being loved in greater ways, of going places (many places) and seeing the beauty of creation and the uniqueness of peoples and cultures, of learning skills and discover things that no one has ever seen. It's refreshing. It great. It seems so far away sometimes.

Sometimes I forget that those huge dreams are not a mountain top that I'll one day be teleported to by some magic wand swing; but a walk with my Savior that has already started. One step at the time. One day at the time. Yeah, God could miraculously make me a famous journalist, but then what? I wouldn't know what to do with that, I wouldn't know where to go from there... not without these days that seem quiet and uneventful. There's so much going on and I don't even see it half the time. My new year's resolution is to be more aware, to learn ro enjoy more those first and second steps, the little ones. Because by being more aware I'll also realize those huge dreams that seem impossible are not something that maybe one day will happen, but something that Papa's already doing in my life now, today! He's on my side, He put those dreams in my heart in the first place, He's even more interested in me fulfilling them than I am... and most importantly HE LOVES ME! 

I was sitting in my living room the other day wondering if it was too late for me to dream some of the things in my heart. Then I heard this sweet, loving voice whisper in my ear: "It's never to late, I am with you always." :)
