Dreams... Don't let them go!

Recently I had a dream I have waited on all of my life to fall. This dream was awesome. I finally had met the man I was going to spend the rest of my life with and he was awesome. However, it didn't work out. After all of the tears and pain, I changed course. God started working out my other dreams and I yielded to them. It made me think about how sometimes we hold on to one dream and when its not time or something happens we get hurt and get bitter or even give up on those same dreams. Well I'm here to tell you don't give up on your dreams. I wrote a song about the book of Ecclesiates. It was recorded and all but you may never get to hear it. It talks about how season's change. Spring Summer Winter and Fall all bring exciting experiences. I think if we were to focus on our lives like the seasons we would be much happier.

I believed in that dream and made every effort to stop it from not coming to pass. It ended, but it doesn't mean that my dream is over. He wasn't the right one and that's ok. I'm very strong willed. God showed me signs but I hadn't met ANYone that matched up to my expectations in so long that when he came I was wide open. I'm thankful too. It let me know that love is out there and being just a little more patient will bring the right one. Edris maybe... LOL. Who knows but one thing is for certain, I'm gonna be GREAT.

I then started getting some music together. I hadn't written in months. Actually a year has gone by and even though I wanted to write I felt stifled. LOL... God opened that door back up and ideas started flowing. You would have thought I'd still be holding on to that dream but I let that jokah go as soon as he walked out of the door. I grabbed a hold of a dream I had let go of months ago. I started feeding it again and it came to me with beauty and power.

Dreams... Hopes that turn into reality. Believing in something I am destined to do. I was not put here to waste away focusing on yesterday. I am here to provide something new for tomorrow. So things i created years ago and left alone came back into my mind. Ideas that I typed out but God wasn't ready for resurfaced and now my peace is in knowing its time for a different dream to come to pass.
Some of us are holding onto dead weight. You are in a job that drives you nuts or a relationship that is toxic. Could be just some bad choices that keep leading you down the wrong path. Well I'm here to tell ya, keep it moving. Life is too short to waste seconds focusing on junk that matters less than anything in this world. You are special. You are awesome. You are the most unique thing in this world. Sounds kinda arrogant and prideful but there could be 500000000 women in this world but only one me. Ha... So that makes me unique. I'm taking these next few weeks to capitalize on these realities. Standing taller. Working out. Sweating on this treadmill and keeping my spirit in tune with what God wants me to do. I encourage you to do the same.

Some of you may not have God but He sure wants you to. He doesn't always do the things we ask and that can be frustrating but he protects us and guides us even if we are too hard-headed to listen. Open your mind and heart to something new. A dream you had when you were a child. Maybe you used to write stories or draw. Pull out the paper and do something creative. Vangogh's paintings are revered around the world and they look like little kids pictures to me. I'm not an artist or enthusiast like that but I can say just do something with the dreams you have and let go of the dead weight.

Life is perfect. It's special. Its YOURS. Use it wisely.
