For all of you who’ve been looking…

All of us can see the clouds coming if we look hard enough….they are always coming. But if we let them stop the living, then we stop living. What if it rains? What if I get wet? What if it spoils our day? Or….what if we have an awesome day, right here and now? What if we run on the beach and not mind if we get wet? What if we feel the wind on our faces, taste the raindrops and thank God above that we are alive and here now?
Feel the rain, and enjoy the clouds. The day is here, now. Slainte, Lisa
Hold fast your dreams!
Within your heart keep one still secret spot
Where dreams may go
And sheltered so, may thrive and grow.
-Louise Driscoll
Dreams, plans, hopes….intangible things that provide great hope in a person. It’s very easy to let go of dreams when life gets busy and hectic, but I believe that God places the good and right dreams and hopes in a person…His plan for each person is different and perfect. “But those who plan what is good find love and faithfulness.” (Proverbs 14:22) “Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plans will succeed.” (Proverbs 16:3)
Now sometimes dreams don’t work out, but I believe it’s because we can’t see the bigger perspective that God sees…He knows the very best thing for us, and sometimes we’re too close and can’t see it. But later on, down the road, we will. So I’m challenging myself to hold on and cherish those dreams God has placed inside me, to live with hope and plans and a future, committing myself to Him and holding on for the awesome ride. 🙂 Slainte, Lisa
