Dreaming

Dreaming, seeking, wondering...

I keep thinking about what I want to see made a reality.  Things that have been on the list of impossible for years.  What I pray for that no one else knows.

My fingers trace over the words and names on a worn piece of notebook paper.  The cries of my heart.

I see them in my mind, I treasure them in my heart.  The promises of the One who never fails.

Terrifying and exhilarating is the knowledge that new prayers, dreams must be added.  They are bigger than the ones already on that list.  And God is the one inviting me to draw near and ask.

I want what HE wants.  Arising from the things that break His heart and that He has broken my heart with.

When and how are not mine to know.

I ask for the what, dream for the what, and trust God.

The God who made a 100 year old Abraham, and a 90 year old Sarah parents to the Nations.
The God who parted waters.
The God who lead in a whirlwind.
The God who defeated sin and death.
The God who promised life!

Dreaming...with the hope that if God drew me, redeemed me and is transforming me...He'll make good on His word.
