Leap of Faith

Ok so this post is a bit rough but I had to get it out there. This whole blog thing is new to me. Sorry if it is hard to follow...

Dreams...they can be profound, confusing, interesting, funny and real. There are many different types of dreams. Some come in the form of what most folks like to call, "daydreaming" or fantasies about a life outside of the present. Whether they be about getting called out of class or the moment you meet your Prince Charming. They are our day-to-day wishes. Then there are the dreams that occur in the middle of the night. The ones that we have no control over. Many of these "late night adventures" are random, strange and intriguing-yet by the time we wake up we don't even remember what happened, they just, disappear. Also I believe some people have dreams that are God sent-ones that are undeniably clear and speak directly to our hearts. They are almost real and often help give us insight into our own hearts and lives. There is one more type of dream that everyone has. These are the dreams that are most dear to us, so dear in-fact that we sometimes hide them from the world and lock them away within our hearts and minds as to keep them safe. These are the true desires we all possess and that we all fear losing. No one wants to have their dreams crushed or their hopes lost. By sharing our inner-most "secrets", joys, excitments and desires with the world we easily become vulnerable. Someone might tell us, "no" and reject what we hold dear. But worst of all they might laugh at us. They might think our dreams are stupid and ridiculous and absolutely immpossible. What a blow to the face! We all have hope in something. We all look forward to something. We all desire something. And I believe its time we stop hiding these precious dreams from the world, it is time we stop trying to "protect" them. We ought to take a leap of faith and follow our hearts. Fuel our passion. Pursue our desires. And do it in the name of the Lord. Trust that God has given us these burning hopes for a reason and act on what we love. If we fall flat on our faces, we fall hard, but at least we can say we tried. But it doesn't end there. I say we get back up, dust off our jeans, and jump again. Eventually we will learn to fly. Don't let anyone tell you no. Follow your heart and most importantly pursue Christ's heart! He is our Father and wants the absolute best for us. What dad doesn't want to see their kids happy and living out their dreams? And God is the PERFECT dad! He has got us in the palm of His hand now and forever. To Him be the glory and praise. ALWAYS!
