Faced with a choice several months back, she had to decide...
Faced with choices everyday, WE have to decide...
We make decisions daily and those decisions are forks in the road. Do you STAND OUT or FIT IN?
My thoughts started out like this: to be a friend or give up a friend? Be an ordinary woman or be God's extraordinary woman. Our plans vs. God's desires. Our mistakes vs. His love. Okay, look, those are not exactly my thoughts, I borrowed them from my book. But in typical Krista fashion, those thoughts went a little rhymie (I'm pretty sure that's not even a real word.)
Life is about change. And change affects our past, present and will affect our future. This book I have started reading is about discovering GOD'S dream created just for you because OUR dreams change...
Choices vs. Dreams
What I see in me versus what my God sees.
I see all my shortcomings. God still sees my dreams.
I get scared and run away. But God wants me to stay,
to pursue my relationship with Him, finding comfort in His embrace.
God knew His plans for me before He even formed me in the womb.
Sometimes I don't know them now, and this world can cloud my view.
It hasn't always been this way. My dreams the same as any other little girl.
We dreamed about being a princess, kissed by the prince who conquered the world.
I pretended I was beautiful. Chased by boys, being rescued and desired.
So long ago it seems, "make believe" and "pretending" grew up and are now retired.
Girls want to be pretty. We dream of fancy dresses, elegant parties, being loved and getting kisses.
With my wild imagination, I played house, held babies, I was a famous singer with anything she wishes.
Of course some dreams were big and hard to reach, I grew up and gave up on them.
God's dreams for me are even bigger, not to be a mystery and He's given me a Friend.
His plan for me is to live HIS dreams. Some the same, some different, but ALL abundantly blessed and full.
Never one moment absent his joy and peace. Storing treasures in Heaven, earning for Him another jewel.
Everyday has choices and God lets us choose for that day how we will live.
Pursuing dreams or giving up; being grateful or not; hold a grudge or to forgive.
Where are your dreams? Do they cross your mind? Do you still remember them?
They are within your reach. Can you find and reach for them once again?
Dare to dream! We are capable of more than just going through the motions.
God designed us intricately, with different talents and gifts as vast as the ocean.
Search mostly now for God's dream, discover His love and never forget to pray.
"Dream as if you'll live forever; live as if you'll die today."
...last part a quote from James Dean.
Dreaming,
