dream

I wonder if many people give weight to their dreams anymore.

Or if we are too jaded and cynical because of the world around us to even dare to dream. And then furthermore, to actually pursue those dreams.

I can say that my dreams have changed over the years. Where I once dreamt of things like wealth and living comfortably and having a nice car, nowadays, I dream more about what kind of legacy I’m leaving for my children.

Am I giving them the encouragement to chase their dreams?

Am I providing them the right environment to dream?

Do they have a good foundation to fall back on when their dreams don’t come true? And then to dream new dreams?

Dream

As many of you know, I’m a single momma to two amazing kids. While this road has been challenging and rewarding, I also dream about becoming a wife. Not just any wife, either.

No, I want to aspire to be the woman/wife/mother that Proverbs 31 describes. Yes, I know it’s a long shot, but hey, a girl can dream, right?

I dream of being the wife that makes her husband glad to come home.

I dream of being the mother that her kids know is their safe haven.

I dream of being the woman that inspires other women to never give up.

But mostly, I dream of being the daughter of the King that He would have me to be.

I dream of living a life that gives Him the glory and the praise.

Even if it means re-evaluating my dreams.

Until next time…dream on, dreamer.

  1. Hi Michelle, Thank you for your dream on words today. God must have dreamed too, since we were created in His image, so your dreams are His heart for you, even as you wait and wonder what they will look like. Blessings to you as you do the work of mother and father to your two cherubs. Visiting from FMF.

  2. I love your dream. Such beautiful, and godly aspirations! I pray that God will help you to discover His dreams for you, and that you find much joy as you surrender to His glorious plans!
    Blessings and hugs,

  3. Hello Michelle,

    What a lovely dream and so beautifully shared. I also dreamed of being a wife (again) and after eight looooong years, in Fathers perfect timing, He gave me the dream of my heart… In fact He not only gave me a new husband and new name, but a new culture and job…(All in one month – June 2014). There was no way I could have generated things to all occur at the same time, so His Hand is clearly seen…He does have the perfect plan…Keep on dreaming. Just dropping in from FMF. I missed the deadline last week, but decided to check in anyway and see what everyone else had said.
