" At nite, when you close your eyes think happy thoughts and happy dreams will entertain you while you count sheep" CTH...

I never fully understood what it meant to dream. When I was younger, I would associate my dreams with how I wanted my future to look, who I would marry, where I would live the kind of work I would do. See, I always wanted to be a lawyer. My mom always told me I have a way with words( which now, I finally understand what she meant). Though, my path would lead down a different road, I am a lawyer. I help people find solutions and I enjoy defending children, because sometimes we have to be their voice in this cold world.

Sometimes, our dreams do not come full circle because we do not have enough Faith and Hope. As I sat with my nieces having breakfast today, we talked about a number of things..What touched me was that one of them said, " I did not have money for my trip( they are in Atl on Spring Break) until the day before we left". I looked at her and could understand what she meant.

During my transition, I quit my job in order to start preparing myself to leave. I knew when I wanted to leave BUT my Faith wasn't strong enough then. I had to close my eyes a few more weeks and dream happy thoughts to prepare myself to leave! In order to see it, we have to want it bad enough that we can taste it, right on the tip of our tongue. In life, we have to want to do better and mean it from our heart in order for it to happen. As in our Christian walk, we have to want the more and more of God in order to be sustained and given the strength to fight the enemy.

My transition taught me that I AM MY DREAM!!! In order for our dreams to come into fruition, we have to always make sure we are in the right place. It doesn't necessarily have to be the right time, just the right place fully positioned.

I knew God was positioning my life, I just didn't fully understand what he was positioning it for. But, because I choose to live for him and cast everything that would cause a hinderance to the side, he has placed a job, a church and people in my path for his cause and purpose.. All the while showing me that, If I dream, he's going to make it happen..

...I dreamed to relocate, TODAY I live in Georgia
... I dreamed to work in my field again, TODAY I have a job giving back
... I dreamed to be loved for me, TODAY he loves me for ALL of me
... I dreamed for a beautiful family, TODAY marks one day m daughter has been 6 yrs old
... I dreamed to have sisters I could talk too, TODAY I have many

.....Dreams, what are yours?? Are you making yours happen??

Be Encouraged, Be Inspired and Be Yourself!!!
