Sometimes I remember.
I remember the dreams that a little girl had — about life, about motherhood, about being an adult.
I remember the hopes.
I remember.
What did I dream?
Did I dream about love?
Or adventure?
Or joy?
Did I know there would be hard times?
Cancer.
Loss.
Sorrow?
What did I think?
Would I dream knowing the reality?
Would I?
I would tell that little girl, that dreamer, that life is worth living. To keep believing. And moving.
I would tell that princess in disguise that she’s worth it. That reality doesn’t determine worth.
I would tell that eight year old that God is faithful in all things.
I would tell her that being a mother is the greatest gift.
I would tell her to look forward. To not cling to the past.
I would tell that dreamer to forgive. To keep the slates clean.
I would tell her to love her husband. Always.
I would tell her that life is a gift. Time is finite. Use it wisely.
I would tell her to live by the Spirit. Not self.
I would tell her to keep dreaming.

What a beautiful message! I never remember dreaming as a kid. I went through so much. I don’t know how to dream as an adult. Thank you for the reminder to keep dreaming!

She is a lucky girl to have a mother filled with wisdom and truth! As the world would want to tell her differently, keep shining His mighty light of Truth into her precious life.

Know that you’re always in my thoughts and prayers!
Psalm 32:6-8 For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found : surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh unto him. Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah. I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go : I will guide thee with mine eye.
