Dreams ~ Expectations ~ Plans ~ Goals

For me, the definition of these words changed completely September 20th, 2010.

Today, my dreams revolve solely around my children. I dream that they grow up happy and healthy but most importantly that they love Jesus with every ounce of their hearts.

My expectations include serving my little family day in and day out in hopes of fostering my dream.

My plan is to meet my expectations via a "eat, sleep, repeat" cycle while maintaining a smile on my face, despite the pain in my heart.

Finally my goal is to execute my plan by serving others and loving my saviour desperately.

I pray that these dramatic vocabulary changes honor the Lord and pave our path to the kingdom of heaven (prayerfully, in the not so distant future).

So today I can honestly say that I am eternally grateful for my brutal gift. Without it, I might not have ever truly known the raw reality of the gospel. Gone now, are my hazy days polluted with the incessant pursuit of THINGS. Here today, is the clear understanding of the utter worthlessness of earthly tangibles. In one fell swoop, the message was delivered! It was like being invited to an all you can eat buffet that had only one item to choose. No decisions to be made by me, the host had decided for me!

Thank you Jesus
