Dreams
Recently, the Lord has been reminding me to do things that bring me joy. To step into things that lift my soul. To dream. To plan something to look forward to.
The other day, I got my bike out that I haven’t ridden in about two years. I have forgotten how much I had enjoyed it—a treasure for my soul, dusty, and sitting in the basement. It reminded me how many other things we bury in the basement of our hearts. Dreams and things we enjoy that we have forgotten about. God has given us so many gifts but often we bury them under obligations and what is expected of us. We get stuck in the rut and cycle of life and forget to live and enjoy life. I know that can be me sometimes.
I want to encourage you to to take some time to think about your own dreams and aspirations, or hobbies that you used to love to do but have placed on the wayside. Perhaps think about something that you have wanted to do for a long time but the dream is “too big”. Write those dreams down. Then take that first step towards your dream. Maybe you dream if having your own garden. To write a book. To run a half-marathon. To hike the appalacian trail. To start your own business. Or maybe it’s a hobby that you love and haven’t done for awhile.
God is a dreamer and He created us to dream with Him! I pray God fills your heart with hope for the future and the courage to pursue dreams! If you would like, share a dream or a hobby that you enjoy below.
Be blessed friends!
