Let's Dream

     Let's dream. I often feel like I dream too big or unrealistic. So here are my big dreams. They may or may not happen and that is okay. I will continue to take steps both big and small. I know that if it is to be then God will open the door in His time.

    My first dream is to start a new blog. obviously that one has just begun. I did have a blog about fourteen years ago. It is my hope to share love and encouragement in the Lord with others. That being said I will not bend and twist the word of God to make the world feel better. I definitely don't know everything, and I don't have it all together, but if we're all honest no one does. Take it one day at a time and do the best you can. step by step, and little by little. 

    I am currently considering taking some writing courses online. I have some story ideas just not sure where to start. Doing my own illustrations is also on my list. I used to enjoy drawing and painting; however, I have found it difficult to get back into. For years I've had an idea for a book series and possible children's book of comic. 

    Lately I have been learning how to use resin. I really enjoy making things for people. It does take me a while to get a project finished because I am so tired after work. However, I am really looking forward to learning woodwork from my dad after work this summer. It will be a blessed time to learn from my dad. He is very good and really enjoys building things. Last on my list for this year is to learn how to make clothes with my sewing machine. I have a style I like and would love to be able to create that style to share with others who may enjoy it as well.

    Now for my real unrealistic, or what some would refer to as unrealistic, dream. I would love to move to Scotland. I'm not saying I would live there forever, however I wouldn't' rule that out. I find it so difficult to get away and just be still. Life has just been so full of constant rush and pressure even from myself. I often feel like I'm trying to take a deep breath, but I can't. A part of me just wants to start over on an entire new continent. I do realize that's a bit extreme, but I do have other personal reasons for wanting Scotland. I do know that God can move and do amazing things no matter where we are. Our God is an amazing God. I do pray that He will teach and grow me where I am now, and to be used to bless others. I do know that He works in ways that we may not see and may not understand, but He knows his plan and He is good, so His plan is good. I will trust in Him.
