Hope Road

dreaming…

[reposted; see Monday's entry]

Hoping, planning, and dreaming are such major components of this stage of life. Plans for next year are constantly being thought about and discussed. There are so many fears, wishes, and hopes. I was thinking yesterday about my little “life plan” - the direction I’d like my life to take and the major things I want it to include. I realized it’s really okay to dream up a life plan, as long as I don’t cling to it too tightly. But it’s okay because it helps me know what kind of person I want to be, so I can choose directions wisely. Even though God is the one doing the controlling and directing, it’s still good for me to have an idea, a “blueprint,” to go by as I build my life under His guidance.

And I want to dream big, for His mission, His glory, His church, His kingdom in my oh-so-small life and sphere. Because when I give my life up to Him, I’ve just begun to live. I want to be firmly rooted in His mission, taken over by Him, and I want to live, eat, sleep, and breathe His death on the cross for me.

I am a dreamer, take me higher
Open the sky up, start a fire
I believe, even if it’s just a dream
