To Dream...(part II)

Maybe I might not be dreaming enough, but Someone dreamed of me...

...and I am one of His dreams come true.

When I think of dreams, I often think of extrordinary things or places.

But God dreams of things that happen right before us.

Dreams don't have to be out of the ordinary or all that great...

...they just have to be lived out well and true.

I just have have dreams like His...

To Dream...

..."I had a dream last night..."

..."I had a dream too!..."

I thought...I haven't had a dream for a while. Asleep or awake, it feels like without a dream, I feel somehow, lost to the flow of time. A dream is "a succession of images, thoughts, or emotions passing through the mind during sleep". It is also "an aspiration, a goal, or a aim". It feels so much harder to imagine and create things, but then again, inspiration comes in timeliness. At least, I can listen to your dreams (:

There It Is

There it is right in front of me?
I don't understand right now...
but maybe I will in good time.

A Lesson From the Ants

The other day I looked in the yard there were so many ant holes, so many ants!
Today I happened to stumble across this chapter about "laziness":

..A person who is too lazy to work may steal to get what he wants. (Eph 4:28; Prov 13:11; 12:24)
..Laziness causes excessive sleepiness. (Prov 6:9-11; 19:15; 10:5)
..A lazy person uses other people's money to get what he wants. (Rom 12:9-12)
..Parents, don't allow your children to develp a lazy trait. The responsibility is on your shoulders. (Prov 22:6)
..A lazy person is conceited. (Prov 26:16)
..A slothful person is too lazy to move himself. (Prov 26:14)
..Lazy people are careless and unpredictable. (Prov 6:6-9)
..Lazy people irritate others. (Prov 10:26)
..Lazy people fold their hands instead of working. (Prov 6:10;24:33; 26:15)

After reading the last line...there is much to learn if I must work hard to be able to go home.

Another Day

Spending a day at the hospital..then again, what is a day..without someone you love?

Lost

Ever been in a room full of people and happenings, and not feeling like you belong.
Sometimes life can feel like that, just not knowing where to go and what to do.
Sometimes when I drop the pen and pick it up again, I wonder where I was before.
Lost.

There is this story of love though, and I know that I am a part of it.
It is described as 'open', 'wide' and 'free'.
If I would know the story better, I would find a direction to go.
Seeking.

It may seem like a mystery today, all the while I'll keep asking why.
Why must I do this and that, why?
There is only one plan for today that I must live, learn and write.
Finding.

Called

When your name is called out from wherever about,
do you respond and run to answer it straight away?
To stop and leave all that you are doing in a moment,
just to answer to what they may instruct or say?

Do you grumble and mumble under your breath,
as you try to avoid whomever may be calling?
And then again and again they call for you,
finally you drag yourself across the floor instead stalling.

Why is the question you might ask yourself-why me?
You can call someone else's name.. anyone but me.
You never seem to listen to what I have to say,
I just want to do what I want.. just let me be.

The Lord says He has chosen you and that is why He calls,
do you know that you are the firstborn and a child of God?
What do you mean I am the firstborn of God?
You are born of living water and washed in His blood.

You can do this and that because everything is permissible,
but not everything may be beneficial for you.
If you must know I have a plan for you too,
know that you are one of the many but chosen few.

You are special and I want you to live.
When you choose to conform to the way other's live,
and you despise your birthright and wish for vain things,
it only leads to death.. weariness and suffering it will give.

If you answer swiftly to your name when you are called,
and you run to meet whoever has called for you,
remember that you are chosen for the task at hand,
for the Lord says, "I have loved you."

Do you know that there are people out there,
still suffering in silence and hiding their cries?
Do you try listening to their stories and lives?
Why you ask.. instead ask "what" in place of all the why's.

What must I do when you call for me?
What must I learn during this time?
What must I know to do the things you ask?
What must I speak if Your light I must shine?
